            tionists is along the lines that the ability to perceive scents is an entirely
            primitive one that appeared before the other senses. Organs and senses
            emerged as the need for them arose, and developed in accord with those
            needs. These claims, devoid of any foundation whatsoever, are expressed

            in these terms in evolutionist publications:
                 “Every each random affect in the outer world causes a certain change in
                 organisms. (…) Every each cause leads to an effect and the consequence
                 necessarily includes a piece of information related to its cause. One can
                 not help to see and feel amazed at how the evolution, with its adapta-
                 tion and discovery ability that is even hard to imagine, can employ this
                 simple logical relation in biological reality for increasing the chances of
                 its products’ survival.  92

                 Expressions of this kind, lacking in any evidence, findings, or exper-
            imental or scientific evidence, have no significance other than seeking
            to justify claims based on chance. The way that they regard the
            sense of smell as the first sense and a primitive one, reflects this log-
            ic. The sole justification for this claim is that the other senses,
            such as sight or hearing, seem to possess more detailed sys-
            tems and thus support the evolutionist progression of “from
            the simple to the more complex.” Proponents of
            Darwinism express the view in question in the follow-
            ing terms:
