The eye on top of the pyramid is the all seeing eye of God. The pyramid itself is left unfinished because God's work is not complete. There is little dispute that the symbol as a whole is Masonic in origin.

Actually, the Great Seal was adopted by Congress about 15 years before the symbol of the All Seeing Eye was adopted by Masonry. None of the committee members who invented the Seal were Masons.
The website Truth Or Fiction (which investigates and reports the accuracy of Internet rumors) says the following:
Although Franklin's committee did not suggest a pyramid, it did originate the suggestion of the eye. The term "the all-seeing eye" is never used in describing it. The Franklin committee wanted the seal to include a reflection of divine providence and discussed a variety of themes including the Children of Israel in the Wilderness. Some have suggested that the pyramid and the eye are the result of Masonic influence, but the only member of the original committee who was a Mason was Franklin and this committee's design was rejected by congress. None of the final designers of the seal was a Mason. The eye as representing "the eye of providence" has a long history. It's more likely that both the designers of the Great Seal and the Masons both drew from that history. The use of "the all seeing eye" as uniquely Masonic first appeared in 1797, nearly 15 years after the adoption of the symbolism by Congress.

Actually, that eye is related directly to the Egyptian religion, and is a symbol for the god of Horus. The correct name for the eye is called "The Eye Of Horus", which is roughly translated into "The Eye of Lucifer". Horus was the son of the god Osiris, which was the god of the underworld according to Egyptian history. If I am wrong anywhere, please point out.
