DARWINISM REFUTED


             candle's light, the inside of your brain is lightless. We all watch a bright,
             colorful world inside our pitch-dark brain.
                 R. L. Gregory explains the miraculous aspect of seeing, which is taken
             so very much for granted:
                 We are so familiar with seeing, that it takes a leap of imagination to realize
                 that there are problems to be solved. But consider it. We are given tiny
                 distorted upside-down images in the eyes, and we see separate solid objects
                 in surrounding space. From the patterns of simulation on the retinas we
                 perceive the world of objects, and this is nothing short of a miracle. 391
                 The same applies to all our other senses. Sound, touch, taste and
             smell are all transmitted as electrical signals to the brain, where they are
             perceived in the relevant centers.
                 The sense of hearing proceeds in the same manner. The auricle in the
             outer ear picks up available sounds and directs them to the middle ear; the
             middle ear transmits the sound vibrations to the inner ear by intensifying
             them; the inner ear translates these vibrations into electrical signals and
             sends them to the brain. Just as with the eye, the act of hearing takes place
