butterflies, or millions of other living beings such as these. Indeed,
they could not obtain even a single cell of any one of them.
Briefly, unconscious atoms cannot form the cell by coming
together. They cannot take a new decision and divide this cell in-
to two, then take other decisions and create the professors who
first invent the electron microscope and then examine their own
cell structure under that microscope. Matter is an unconscious,
lifeless heap, and it comes to life with Allah's superior Creation.
The theory of evolution, which claims the opposite, is a total
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 answer
the question of how we see. Light rays coming from an object fall op-
positely on the eye's retina. Here, these light rays are transmitted in-
to 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 167
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 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 distinct im-
age as this one at any other place? Even the most developed tele-
