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.
