Cockroaches do not need light, in order to see what they eat.
I do. I don't have a light of my own, so I depend on what's available.
Interestingly, for all the years of life, scientists give to mammals, none have evolved light.
Yet, we see... not in millions of years, but a lifetime, teeth of mammals develop.
What does this tell us?
It tells me certain things can develop even through adaptation, while other things may not, but can be a feature of design... like lights.
See how genes play a role in this.
These can be used in conjunction with a "natural feature"
For example, the angler fish might use light to feed on vegetation in it's original state, but it does so for its new diet as well.
Like the bonnethead shark.
The bonnethead shark's diet of seagrass has researchers stumped
Scientists have discovered that some sharks are eating a large amount of seagrass, as a significant part of their diet—but experts aren’t sure why the fish are deviating from their traditional carnivorous diet.
New research has shown that seagrass can make up more than 50 percent of a bonnethead shark’s diet. The small, shovel-headed sharks are closely related to the more familiar hammerheads.
The scientists are arguing on this one also. "Well maybe they are not feeding on the grass. Maybe they are eating other animals that feed on grass."
"Yeah, let's wait until they feed then eat them."
Ha Ha
While they argue that out...
It turns out whale sharks aren’t full carnivores, a new study has found.
Veggie-eating shark surprises scientists
Whale sharks ... are sharks, so it’s long been believed these gentle giants rely almost exclusively on animal protein.
That’s not what an intriguing new study published this month in the journal Ecological Monographs found, though. Careful investigation of blood and tissue samples from over a dozen whale sharks suggests that they actually have a pretty omnivorous diet that includes plants and algae.
Careful investigation. There we go.
Oops.
There’s usually a bit of a catch, though. While stable isotopes are frequently used to infer animal diets, the method often relies on making assumptions about how the animals process the nutrients from their foods.
LOL. I guess that for the most part, is what the scientist, and fellow believers, have to go on - inferences that require making some assumptions, which are not necessarily correct... or just dead wrong.
Unless of course, the scientists are actually willing to carry out actual practical experiments that can produce actual evidence...
The world's first omnivorous sharks have been confirmed by scientists, who say the bonnethead shark is the first and apparently only of its kind to get nutrients from vegetation
At the time, it was not clear if they were eating the seagrass because it formed part of their diet. It is accepted that sharks are uniformly carnivorous, so it was assumed the sharks could be ingesting seagrass by accident.
Now that's what I call science. Scientists have now confirmed bonnetheads are, indeed, omnivores, on the basis of actual experimentation.
However, if things like these baffles scientists, why would anyone think that they might not be baffled by other things of that nature. I can only think of one reason why that would be.

At the time, it was not clear if they were eating the seagrass because it formed part of their diet. It is accepted that sharks are uniformly carnivorous, so it was assumed the sharks could be ingesting seagrass by accident.
The team fed captive sharks a diet made up of 90% seagrass and 10% squid. They then analyzed how well they digested and assimilated seagrass material. Findings showed the sharks were able to digest the seagrass with "at least moderate efficiency," revealing it could retain nutrients and potentially survive on vegetation alone.
