              prejudiced interpretations of some fossils unearthed by certain

                 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
