DARWINISM REFUTED

materialism has somehow impaired their logic, making them far removed
from comprehending the subject. For instance, Alaettin Senel—like
Rennan Pekunlu, an academician and a writer for Bilim ve Utopya—said,
"Forget the collapse of Darwinism, the real threatening subject is this one,"
and made demands implying " prove what you tell," sensing that his own
philosophy has no basis. More interestingly, this writer has written lines
revealing that he can by no means grasp this very fact which he considers
such a menace.
For instance, in one article where Senel discussed this subject
exclusively, he accepts that the brain perceives the external world as an
image. But he writes, "I do not know whether or not the images in my
brain have correlates in the external world, but the same thing applies
when I speak on the phone. When I speak on the telephone, I cannot see
the person I am speaking to, but I can have this conversation confirmed
later, when I see him face to face." 402
By this, he actually means that if we doubt our perceptions, we can
look at their origin and check its reality. This is an evident misconception,
however, since it's impossible for us to reach matter itself. We can never
get outside of our minds to know what is "outside." Does the voice on the
phone have an objective correlate or not? We can confirm that by meeting
the person we spoke with. However, this confirmation is nothing but one
again experienced in the mind!
In fact, these writers also experience the same events in their dreams.
For instance, Senel may dream that he speaks on the phone, then have this
conversation confirmed by the person he spoke to. Or Pekunlu may, in his
dream, feel he's facing a serious threat and advise others to read century-
old books by Lenin. But no matter what they do, these materialists can
never deny that they have never had direct experience of the events
they've experienced and the people they talked to.

Materialists Have Fallen into One of the Biggest Traps
in History

The panicky atmosphere sweeping materialist circles in Turkey, of
which we've mentioned only a few examples here, shows that materialists
face utter defeat. Modern science has proven that we don’t have direct
experience of the original of matter, and put this forward in a clear,
