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 engi-
neers 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 per-
ceived 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
