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 answer the question

of how we see. Light rays coming from an object fall oppositely on the eye's reti-

na. 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 electric 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 inside 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 dark-

ness.

The image formed in the eye is so sharp and distinct that even the tech-

nology 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
distinct image as this one at any other place? Even the most developed televi-

Compared to cameras and
sound recording devices, the
eye and ear are much more
complex, much more success-
ful and possess far superior
features to these products of
high technology.
