The Deception of Evolution

trying to generate and reproduce sound that is faithful to the origi-
nal. The results of these efforts are sound re c o rders, high-fidelity
systems, and systems for sensing sound. Despite all of this technol-
ogy and the thousands of engineers and experts who have been
working on this endeavor, no sound has yet been obtained that has
the same sharpness and clarity as the sound perceived by the ear.
Think of the highest-quality hi-fi systems produced by the larg e s t
company in the music industry. Even in these devices, when sound
is recorded some of it is lost; or when you turn on a hi-fi you always
hear a hissing sound before the music starts. However, the sounds
that are the products of the human body's technology are extremely
sharp and clear. A human ear never perceives a sound accompanied
by a hissing sound or with atmospherics as does a hi-fi; rather, it
p e rceives sound exactly as it is, sharp and clear. This is the way it
has been since the creation of man.
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 sym-
phonies and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and nose
travel to the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In biology,
p h y s i o l o g y, 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 -
