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
Everything we
see, touch, hear,
and perceive as
"matter," "the
world" or "the
universe" is in
fact electrical
signals
interpreted in
our brain. We
can never reach
the original of
the matter
outside our
brain. We merely
taste, hear and
see an image of
the external
world formed in
our brain.
