screen throughout his life—is his soul. Every human being has a soul that sees
               without the need for an eye, hears without the need for an ear and thinks
               without the need for a brain.
                    The materialistic view—which maintains that matter is the only thing that
               exists, and that human consciousness is only a result of some chemical

               reactions in the brain—is in a quandary about this issue. To see this it might be
               instructive to ask the following questions to a materialist:
                    ❏ Sight is formed in our brains but what is it that watches this sight in our
               brains?
                    ❏ Try to see in your mind's eye your neighbor living downstairs in your
               apartment building when he is not with you. Who is it that vivifies this person
               so clearly in your imagination down to the details of his costume, the lines in

               his face, the whites in his hairs; the tone of his voice, the way he speaks, the
               way he walks?
                    A materialist will be unable to give a satisfactory answer to such
               questions. The only explanation to these questions is the soul given to man by
               God. However, materialists make a mistake not accepting the existence of any
               being other than matter. For this reason the truth explained in this book deals
               a massive blow to atheist materialist thought, and constitutes a subject that
               materialists refuse to discuss most.


                    Who Lets Our Souls Watch All Of These Views?


                    At this level there is another question that should be asked: Our soul
               watches the sights in our brains. But who is it that creates these sights?  Could
               the brain itself form a bright, colorful, clear, shadowy sight and form a whole
               world through electrical signals in a tiny space? The brain is no more than a
               wet, soft, curvy piece of meat. Could a simple piece of meat like this create a
               sight clearer than any that could be provided by a television set with the latest
               technology, without any snow or horizontal jitter? Could a vision of such high
               quality be formed inside a piece of meat? Could this wet piece of meat form a

               stereo sound of higher quality than a stereo hi-fi system with the highest
               technology, without any sizzling noises? Of course, it is impossible for a brain,
               which is made of one and a half kilograms (four pounds) of meat to form such
               perfect perceptions.
                    Here we arrive at another truth. Since together with everything
