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 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 travel to the
brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In biology, physiology, 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, cannot answer
these questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by God, 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 God, 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.
