The theory of evolution, which claims the opposite, is a to-
                 tal fallacy completely contrary to reason. Thinking even a little
                 bit on the claims of evolutionists discloses this reality, just as in
                 the above example.


                    Technology in the Eye and the Ear


                      Another subject that remains unanswered by evolutionary
                 theory is the excellent quality of perception in the eye and the
                 ear.
                      Before passing on to the subject of the eye, let us briefly an-
                 swer the question of how we see. Light rays coming from an

                 object fall oppositely on the eye's retina. Here, these light rays
                 are transmitted into electric signals by cells and reach a tiny
                 spot at the back of the brain, the "center of vision." These elec-
                 tric signals are perceived in this center as an image after a series
                 of processes. With this technical background, let us do some
                 thinking.
                      The brain is insulated from light. That means that its in-
                 side is completely dark, and that no light reaches the place
                 where it is located. Thus, the "center of vision" is never touched
                 by light and may even be the darkest place you have ever
                 known. However, you observe a luminous, bright world in this
                 pitch darkness.
                      The image formed in the eye is so sharp and distinct that
                 even the technology of the twentieth century has not been able
                 to attain it. For instance, look at the book you are reading, your
                 hands with which you are holding it, and then lift your head
                 and look around you. Have you ever seen such a sharp and dis-
