HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

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 Allah, 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 Allah, 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.
