Page 43 - Miracle in the Eye

HARUN YAHYA

If you tie a camera atop your head and run or walk while filming, the re-
sulting image will bear traces of shaking and slippage. Yet as you walk your
eyes, which register images just like two cameras fixed to your head, never
make you feel uncomfortable. There is never any shaking or slippage in the
images you see.
Another question that may come to mind is why the muscles forming
the lens seek to make light fall upon the retina. No one ever thinks, "I must
make the light entering my eye fall onto my retinal layer so I can see prop-
erly." Most people are quite unaware of their retinas and lenses. Yet the whole
day through, these tiny organs perform functions requiring unimaginable cal-
culations. In order for the lens to do such things by itself, it needs to know the
task of the retina, what vision entails, the structure of the brain, and the purpose
served by photons. Only in this way can it focus the light falling upon it onto the
retina.

(Figure 1.14). Fibers connected to the muscles responsible for expanding and con-
tracting the lens. Sensitive adjustments made by these fibers allow incoming light
to be focused in on the retina at the proper angle.
