At one point that was one of the standard examples given in support of the irreducible-complexity argument for creationism. That specific formulation has fallen out of favor recently, though, now that the evolutionary history of the eye has become more widely known (and largely because of its earlier use); the basic form of the argument is still quite common, but these days the more likely examples are bacterial flagella or similar bits of molecular machinery.

I think pointing to complex organ systems might be popular among creationists because of Darwin's comments on the matter: in my admittedly narrow experience, creationists are likely to have read Origin of Species but quite unlikely to have read any more modern evolutionary biology. And a "disproof" of Darwin on his own terms would certainly be attractive to that mindset.
