“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-

the simple to the more complex.” Proponents of
Darwinism express the view in question in the follow-
ing terms:
