                               THE EVOLUTION MISCONCEPTION

               Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science."
             He formed a spectrum of sciences ranging from those he
             considered scientific to those he considered unscientific.
             According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"–that
             is, depending on concrete data–fields of science are chemistry
             and physics. After them come the biological sciences and then
             the social sciences. At the far end of the spectrum, which is the
             part considered to be most "unscientific," are "extra-sensory
             perception"–concepts such as telepathy and sixth sense–and
             finally "human evolution." Zuckerman explains his reasoning:
                 We then move right off the register of objective truth into those fields
                 of presumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or the
                 interpretation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful
                 (evolutionist) anything is possible - and where the ardent believer (in
                 evolution) is sometimes able to believe several contradictory things at
                 the same time.  27
               The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but the
             prejudiced interpretations of some fossils unearthed by certain
             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.
