I am not saying He can't see with His eyes. I am saying He might have n  
dimensional eyes as well that aren't visible in our 3 dimensions.
Hmm. Well if He is omnipotent, He could look anyway he wanted to and maybe  
he just likes that specific form. Also the eyes are the most beautiful  
asexual part of the human body...

I believe that the Bible was meant for everyone. It would have been  
confusing to the people of that time if God had revealed science as well.  
Apparently today only about 10-15% of all people are interested in  
science, so it really doesn't make much sense to go into all that  
scientific stuff. From the view of a normal observer the sun rises in the  
east and sets in the west. We know it's the earth that's actually turning  
on it's own axis, but we still call it sunrise... :-)

Was that before or after Facebook? :)
