from perfection to the primitive was effected. In other words, chance
thought that our other senses were more important and decided that var-
ious properties belonging to the nose were unnecessary. Believing in the

evolutionists’ account means believing this illogical claim.
In addition, the claim that the nose’s complexity decreased over time
has no scientific evidence at all behind it. In recent years, it has been real-
ized just how irrational and unscientific this claim clearly is. All 21st-cen-
tury scientific studies and research have revealed that the sense-percep-
tion system is of an extraordinary complexity, and evolutionists have
therefore suffered a major disappointment. Also, it is increasingly evident
that new scientific advances will continue to shatter evolutionists’
dreams.

Statements From an Expert
The sense of smell—which evolutionists seek to portray as primitive
compared to the other senses and which they claim can easily be account-
ed for in terms of chance—is actually a mechanism about which much is
still unknown, and many of its complex details are still a mystery.
Research and statements by present-day scientists on this subject make
this crystal-clear. One who can be cited on this subject is the scientist
Stuart Firestein of Columbia University, known for his research into the
sense of smell and regarded as an authority in the field. In his articles
Professor Firestein expresses the highly developed and complex nature of
the sense of smell.
Some of the Professor Firestein’s statement reads as follows:

We use the vertebrate olfactory receptor neuron as a model for investi-
gating general principles and mechanisms of signal transduction—re-
ceptor-ligand interactions, modulation by second messengers, ion chan-
nel gating, and the long term mechanisms of adaptation and desensiti-
