The Evolution Misconception 357

tation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful [evolutionist] any-
thing is possible - and where the ardent believer [in evolution] is some-
times able to believe several contradictory things at the same time. 33
The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but the preju-
diced interpretations of some fossils unearthed by certain people, who
blindly adhere to their theory.

TECHNOLOGY IN THE EYE AND THE EAR
Another subject that remains unanswered by evolutionary theory is
the excellent quality of perception in the eye and the ear.
Before passing on to the subject of the eye, let us briefly answer the
question of 'how we see'. Light rays coming from an object fall oppo-
sitely on the retina of the eye. Here, these light rays are transmitted
into electric signals by cells and they reach a tiny spot at the back of the
brain called the centre of vision. These electric signals are perceived in
this centre of the brain as an image after a series of processes. With this
technical background, let us do some thinking.
The brain is insulated from light. That means that the inside of the
brain is solid dark, and light does not reach the location where the
brain is situated. The place called the centre of vision is a solid dark
place where no light ever reaches; it may even be the darkest place you
have ever known. However, you observe a luminous, bright world in
this pitch darkness.
The image formed in the eye is so sharp and distinct that even the
technology of the 20th century has not been able to attain it. For in-
stance, look at the book you read, your hands with which you hold it,
then lift your head and look around you. Have you ever seen such a
sharp and distinct image as this one at any other place? Even the most
developed television screen produced by the greatest television pro-
ducer in the world cannot provide such a sharp image for you. This is
a three-dimensional, colored, and extremely sharp image. For more
than 100 years, thousands of engineers have been trying to achieve this
sharpness. Factories, huge premises were established, much research
has been done, plans and designs have been made for this purpose.
Again, look at a TV screen and the book you hold in your hands. You
