That is not how science works, scientists have been examining and testing the idea that the eyes are sense organs from the beginning, and so far all the tests and experiments have supported the idea that the eyes are sense organs.

Nope, time has not already determined that he was wrong. Tests and experiments have determined the speed of light. Jupiter's Io looks like a slam dunk, but is it really? There are often times that something looks like there could be no other explanation, and then another way of looking at that something comes along (which is just as plausible) and knocks out the original theory.
