DARWINISM REFUTED


             "scientific" theory on the origin of the ear and the so-called evidence for it
             in this way:
                 Our hearing organ, the ear, emerged as a result of the evolution of the
                 endoderm and exoderm layers, which we call the skin. One proof of this is
                 that we feel low sounds in the skin of our stomachs!  352
                 In other words, Atayman thinks that the ear evolved from the
             ordinary skin in other parts of our bodies, and sees our feeling low sounds
             in our skin as a proof of this.
                 Let us first take Atayman's "theory," and then the so-called "proof" he
             offers. We have just seen that the ear is a complex structure made up of
             dozens of different parts. To propose that this structure emerged with "the
             evolution of layers of skin" is, in a word, to build castles in the air. What
             mutation or natural selection effect could enable such an evolution to
             happen? Which part of the ear formed first? How could that part, the
             product of coincidence, have been chosen through natural selection even
             though it had no function? How did chance bring about all the sensitive
             mechanical balances in the ear: the ear drum, the hammer, anvil and
             stirrup bones, the muscles that control them, the inner ear, the cochlea, the
             liquid in it, the tiny hairs, the movement-sensitive cells, their nerve
             connections, etc.?
                 There is no answer to these questions. In fact, to suggest that all this
             complex structure is just "chance" is actually an attack on human
             intelligence. However, in Michael Denton's words, to the Darwinist "the
             idea is accepted without a ripple of doubt - the paradigm takes
             precedence!"  353
                 Beyond the mechanisms of natural selection and mutation,
             evolutionists really believe in a "magic wand" that brings about the most
             complex systems by chance.
                 The "proof" that Atayman supplies for this imaginary theory is even
             more interesting. He says, "Our feeling low sounds in our skin is proof."
             What we call sound actually consists of vibrations in the air. Since
             vibrations are a physical effect, of course they can be perceived by our
             sense of touch. For that reason it is quite normal that we should be able to
             feel high and low sounds physically. Furthermore, these sounds also affect
             bodies physically. The breaking of glass in a room under high intensities
             of sound is one example of this. The interesting thing is that the
