The Evolution Deception 131

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 oppositely on the eye's retina. Here, these light rays
are transmitted into electric signals by cells and reach a tiny
spot at the back of the brain, the "center of vision." These elec-
tric signals are perceived in this center 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 its inside
is completely dark, and that no light reaches the place where it
is located. Thus, the "center of vision" is never touched by light
and 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 twentieth century has not been
able to attain it. For instance, look at the book you are read-
ing, your hands with which you are holding it, and 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 great-
est television producer 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 pur-
