so your objection to the idea of a creator is that we don't all have 20:20 vision,
bwahahahahah.....hilarious,
I don't think eye glasses are a necessity. They make it easier to read books like the Bible. But I don't think anyone is required to read the Bible, nor required to read any kind of law. Regardless of what the education system tries to impose nobody has to read if they do not feel comfortable doing so. God made us free and we can also speak if we choose to or not. I think it is important to listen though, although personally it is more difficult for me to choose not to listen and I suspect that may be by design and/or because of our fallen nature. One other point is to use caution when interpreting Genesis. You must be supposing a metaphorical interpretation when you allude to an Apple because the specific fruit is never mentioned in the Book itself.
