Either a fish or possibly a Cephalopod mollusc. Do you count the Nautilus’ eye, which is spherical, but doesn’t have a lens as an “eyeball”?

So what did this fish do to survive waiting for its eyeballs evolve so it could see ?

I don’t know. I don’t even know why I replied in the first place. It is been hashed and rehashed so many times. There are no new argument for or against this debate. A person either accepts or rejects this theory according to their own private opinions. Me included. My advice to you is to drop it yourself. You are just wasting your time. There are to many more worthwhile ideas to explore.

Did you read my DISCLAIMER on post #4 🙂
 
Do insects have eyeballs? Can insects see? There are ways to see that do not involve eyeballs. Go and research the anatomy of the Lancelet/Amphioxus – a very primitive chordate.

No animal “waits” for an evolutionary advantage to occur. That’s not how evolution works.

Those animals which actually exist are varied-- either through natural variation in the species, or through mutation. When an individual’s differences from other individuals give it an advantage, then it will have an increased chance to survive.

Let’s say a new flu is introduced. If it’s very bad, it may kill 90% of the population within a few years. The remaining 10% remain because for whatever reason, they are more resistant to the disease or its effects. The result: the 10% will continue surviving and reproducing, and their offspring will be more likely to have traits that resist the new flu.

Nobody is waiting around for flu resistance to develop. It’s the removal of those who cannot meet environmental challenges, or the reproductive advantages of those who can meet it better, that allows changes in the overall genetic makeup of a species to accumulate over generations.

Could be anything. Any explanation that sounds plausible is presented as real or very close to real.
 
This provides more than entertainment.

It provides an opportunity to know God through His creation and to praise Him for the wonders that He has brought forth.

Evolutionary theory has usurped science, offering chaos-of-the-gaps as the default cause of all things not known and the ultimate cause of all creation. How can one see that without exploring the subject matter? It is usually simply assumed to be true, by authority. And, argued in its favour by those who would diminish God, or annihilate Him altogether.

The first animal, that had eyesite,didn’t…(always have it)…right ? It had to evolve it, yes or no ?

Yes, but those eyes may have evolved from something you might not call eyes, such as a structure that was merely light-sensitive, but without focussing power. A continuum of such structures is quite possible. The fact that we don’t know for sure exactly what that continuum was is not an argument against evolution.

Right, the nitty-gritty details of how all this actually works is glossed over, because evolution… has to be true.But you see some of us, don’t look at evolution from that lens.

There’s no “first animal with eyesight.” It’s a series of gradations from simple photosensitivity of a neuron or skin cell.
