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 oppo-
sitely on the eye's retina. Here, these light rays are transmitted into elec-
tric 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 com-
pletely 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 lumi-

nous, 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 in-
stance, 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, thousands 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 dis-

tinction. Moreover, the TV screen shows you a two-dimensional image,
