I guess if the question asked was Why are so many babies born with blue eyes? the answer above would be more correct. Anyway, I hope anyone reading this post will also read your comment and realize that there are some families (and perhaps cultures) who aren't as prone to have babies born with blue eyes.

Nieces/nephews/cousins/family friends/my own child...all have brown or black eyes. It is almost unheard of in my culture for a baby to have blue eyes, though it does occur.

There are always exceptions. The same logic demands that you can't say all humans are born with ten fingers either. Since every once in a while someone will be born with nine or 11. But... generally speaking, babies are born with ten fingers. And blue eyes. The second sentence says “almost” all babies have blue eyes at birth. There are always exceptions.
