So far, no man-made visual or recording apparatus has been as
sensitive and successful in perceiving sensory data as are the eye and
the ear. However, as far as seeing and hearing are concerned, a far
greater truth lies beyond all this.

To Whom Does the Consciousness that Sees
and Hears within the Brain Belong?
Who watches an alluring world in the brain, listens to symphonies
and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and nose trav-
el to the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In biology, physiol-
ogy, and biochemistry books, you can find many details about how this
image forms in the brain. However, you will never come across the
most important fact: Who perceives these electro-chemical nerve im-
pulses as images, sounds, odors, and sensory events in the brain?
There is a consciousness in the brain that perceives all this without
feeling any need for an eye, an ear, and a nose. To whom does this
consciousness belong? Of course it does not belong to the nerves, the
fat layer, and neurons comprising the brain. This is why Darwinist-ma-
terialists, who believe that everything is comprised of matter, cannot
answer these questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by Allah, which needs
neither the eye to watch the images nor the ear to hear the sounds.
Furthermore, it does not need the brain to think.
Everyone who reads this explicit and scientific fact should ponder
on Almighty Allah, and fear and seek refuge in Him, for He squeezes
the entire universe in a pitch-dark place of a few cubic centimeters in a
three-dimensional, colored, shadowy, and luminous form.
