The sun is impossible to look at too long before permanent eye damage is caused. After the eye was fully evolved in whatever creature it formed first on was unable to look at the sun. Why did Natural Selection ignore what rightly cannot be ignored? Shouldn't the eye be compatible with the sun?

Most of the Earth's surface is water. Do you have gills?

Good point. Fish eyes should rightly not be compatible with the sun since most of them are very deep and the sun is dim down there. Same with cave dwellers. But the sun has always been there since we left the water.

I would next ask you to define "compatible".
It seems that human beings have done pretty well for themselves with their crappy eyes.
Ah, I never perported that our eyes are crappy. I'm actually curious to why you read into that?
The "total loss of sight" is the incompatible part I am speaking of.

Shouldn't the body be compatible with the ground of you climb a tall tree and jump off?

If our species survived the initial carnage of doing that as often as the sun shines, maybe, but I doubt it.

Maybe Natural Selection is thinking the same thing the rest of us are: What's so interesting about the sun that you would need to stare for an extended period of time?

If we needed to stare at the sun to thrive/survive, then it might be an issue. As it is, we reflexiely turn away and carry on.

This was my first thought too, so once the eye was fully formed then there would be no need. What about before it fully formed? Those steps, from my logic, seemed to have completely ignored the sun and just focused on what it illuminated.
