The Evolution Misconception
formed as a result of chance, that all its atoms just happened
to come together and make up this device that produces an
image, what would you think? How can atoms do what
thousands of people cannot?
If a device producing a more primitive image than the eye
could not have been formed by chance, then it is very evident
that the eye and the image seen by the eye could not have
been formed by chance. The same situation applies to the ear.
The outer ear picks up the available sounds by the auricle
and directs them to the middle ear; the middle ear transmits
the sound vibrations by intensifying them; the inner ear
sends these vibrations to the brain by translating them into
electric signals. Just as with the eye, the act of hearing
finalises in the centre of hearing in the brain.
The situation in the eye is also true for the ear. That is, the
brain is insulated from sound just like it is from light: it does
not let any sound in. Therefore, no matter how noisy is the
outside, the inside of the brain is completely silent.
Nevertheless, the sharpest sounds are perceived in the brain.
In your brain, which is insulated from sound, you listen to
the symphonies of an orchestra, and hear all the noises in a
crowded place. However, if the sound level in your brain was
measured by a precise device at that moment, it would be
seen that a complete silence is prevailing there.
As is the case with imagery, decades of effort have been
spent in trying to generate and reproduce sound that is
faithful to the original. The results of these efforts are sound
recorders, high-fidelity systems, and systems for sensing
sound. Despite all this technology and the thousands of
engineers and experts who have been working on this
