The Deception of Evolution

the eye, the act of hearing finalizes in the center of hearing in the brain.
The situation in the eye is also true for the ear. That is, the brain is in-
sulated from sound just as it is from light. It does not let any sound in.
T h e re f o re, no matter how noisy is the outside, the inside of the brain is
completely silent. Nevertheless, the sharpest sounds are perceived in the
brain. In your completely silent brain, you listen to symphonies, and hear

all of the noises in a crowded place. However, were the sound level in
your brain was measured by a precise device at that moment, complete si-
lence would be found to be prevailing there.
As is the case with imagery, decades of effort have been spent in try-
ing to generate and re p roduce sound that is faithful to the original. The
results of these efforts are sound re c o rders, high-fidelity systems, and sys-
tems for sensing sound. Despite all of this technology and the thousands

of engineers and experts who have been working on this endeavor, no
sound has yet been obtained that has the same sharpness and clarity as
the sound perceived by the ear. Think of the highest-quality hi-fi systems
p roduced by the largest company in the music industry. Even in these de-
vices, when sound is re c o rded some of it is lost; or when you turn on a hi-
fi you always hear a hissing sound before the music starts. However, the
sounds that are the products of the human body's technology are ex-
t remely sharp and clear. A human ear never perceives a sound accompa-
nied by a hissing sound or with atmospherics as does a hi-fi; rather, it

p e rceives sound exactly as it is, sharp and clear. This is the way it has been
since the creation of man.
So far, no man-made visual or re c o rding apparatus has been as sen-
sitive and successful in perceiving sensory data as are the eye and the ear.
H o w e v e r, as far as seeing and hearing are concerned, a far greater tru t h
lies beyond all this.
