But you can't explain how it works. How does the nonabsorbed light which just struck an object get to be instantaneously at distant eyes or cameras? That is teleportation.

It is a strawman to say that science thinks images travel or get reflected. It tells us nothing to say "because of how the eyes work" when you can't tell us how you think the eyes work. And you deny that the nonabsorbed light travels at 186,000 miles a second. You instead claim both that "nothing happens" to it, and that it is instantly at distant eyes and/or cameras, where it stays stationary.

No-one claims it brings anything to the eye. It brings only itself. And it is contradictory to say that this non-absorbed light at the object instantaneously teleports itself to distant eyes and/or cameras and that nothing happens to it. If nothing happened to it, then it would still be there were it was at the surface of the object it just struck.
