Page 81 - Darwin's Dilemma: The Soul

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

There is no little man sitting in the brain observ-
ing what is going on. Research into the brain can
never answer the question of who really does the
perceiving. Because it is the “soul” that per-
ceives, independently of any person’s physical
identity.

Who does the actual knowing? Or, as Saint Francis of Assisi once put
it, “What we are looking for is what is looking.” 47

Consciousness is a property belonging solely to the soul be-
stowed on human beings by Allah. It is through the soul that man
becomes an entity able to think, perceive and decide. The mind and
consciousness possessed by human beings are properties bestowed
on them by the soul. In one verse Allah tells us that:
Accordingly, We have revealed to you a Spirit by Our com-
mand. You had no idea of what the Book was, nor faith.
Nonetheless We have made it a Light by which We guide
those of Our servants We will. Truly you are guiding to a
Straight Path. (Surat ash-Shura, 52)
This subject will be clarified in detail later.
