"...he said firmly, "God can help you. All the men I've seen in your position turned to Him in their time of trouble." "Obviously," I replied, "they were at liberty to do so, if they felt like it."

So, if you were to 'replay' evolution, the eye would almost certainly appear again, whereas the big brain probably wouldn't."
Evolution

Genetics
