134 The Importance of Conscience in the Qur'an

is, sharp and clear. This is the way it has been since the cre-
ation of man.
So far, no man-made visual or recording apparatus has
been as sensitive and successful in perceiving sensory data as
are the eye and the ear. However, as far as seeing and hearing
are concerned, a far greater truth lies beyond all this.

To Whom Does the Consciousness That

Sees and Hears within the Brain Belong?
Who watches an alluring world in the brain, listens to
symphonies and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and
nose travel to the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In
biology, physiology, and biochemistry books, you can find many
details about how this image forms in the brain. However, you
will never come across the most important fact: Who perceives
these electro-chemical nerve impulses as images, sounds, odors,
and sensory events in the brain? There is a consciousness in the
brain that perceives all this without feeling any need for an eye,
an ear, and a nose. To whom does this consciousness belong?
Of course it does not belong to the nerves, the fat layer, and
neurons comprising the brain. This is why Darwinist-material-
ists, who believe that everything is comprised of matter, cannot
answer these questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by Allah,
which needs neither the eye to watch the images nor the ear
to hear the sounds. Furthermore, it does not need the brain
to think.
