plete silence would be found to be 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 of this technology 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 largest 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 perceives 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 noes 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
impulses 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-
materialists, who believe that everything is comprised of matter, can-
not answer these questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by God, which needs
