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 answer the ques-
tion 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 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
darkness.
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-
sion screen produced by the greatest television producer in the world cannot
provide such a sharp image for you. This is a three-dimensional, colored, and
extremely sharp image. For more than 100 years, thousands of engineers have
been trying to achieve this sharpness. Factories, huge premises were estab-
lished, much research has been done, plans and designs have
been made for this purpose. Again, look at a TV screen

Compared with modern
cameras and sound recording
equipment, the eye and ear are
far more complex and much
more flawlessly created.
