CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL
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 ans-
wer the question of how we see. Light rays coming from an object
fall oppositely on the eye's retina. Here, these light rays are trans-
mitted into electric signals by cells and reach a tiny spot at the back
of the brain, the "center of vision." These electric signals are perce-
ived 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 loca-
ted. Thus, the "center of vision" is never touched by light and may
even be the darkest place you have ever known. However, you ob-
serve 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 image as this
one at any other place? Even the most developed television 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, tho-
usands of engineers have been trying to achieve this sharpness.
Factories, huge premises were established, much research has been
done, plans and designs have been made for this purpose. Again,
look at a TV screen and the book you hold in your hands. You will
see that there is a big difference in sharpness and distinction. More-
