SINCERITY DESCRIBED IN THE QUR’AN

people, who blindly adhere to their theory.
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 oppositely on the retina of the eye. Here, these
light rays are transmitted into electric signals by cells and
they reach a tiny spot at the back of the brain called the centre
of vision. These electric signals are perceived in this centre of
the brain 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 the
inside of the brain is solid dark, and light does not reach the
location where the brain is situated. The place called the
centre of vision is a solid dark place where no light ever
reaches; it 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 read, your
hands with which you hold it, 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
