THE EVOLUTION MISCONCEPTION

Evolutionists claim that the mechanism producing this sharp
and distinct image has been formed by chance. Now, if
somebody told you that the television in your room was
formed as a result of chance, that all its atoms just happened to
come together and make up this device that produces an image,
what would you think? How can atoms do what thousands of
people cannot?
If a device producing a more primitive image than the eye
could not have been formed by chance, then it is very evident
that the eye and the image seen by the eye could not have been
formed by chance. The same situation applies to the ear. The
outer ear picks up the available sounds by the auricle and
directs them to the middle ear; the middle ear transmits the
sound vibrations by intensifying them; the inner ear sends
these vibrations to the brain by translating them into electric
signals. Just as with the eye, the act of hearing finalises in the
centre of hearing in the brain.
The situation in the eye is also true for the ear. That is, the
brain is insulated from sound just like it is from light: it does not
let any sound in. Therefore, no matter how noisy is the outside,
the inside of the brain is completely silent. Nevertheless, the
sharpest sounds are perceived in the brain. In your brain, which
is insulated from sound, you listen to the symphonies of an
orchestra, and hear all the noises in a crowded place. However,
if the sound level in your brain was measured by a precise
device at that moment, it would be seen that a complete silence
is prevailing there.
As is the case with imagery, decades of effort have been spent
in trying to generate and reproduce sound that is faithful to the
original. The results of these efforts are sound recorders, high-
fidelity systems, and systems for sensing sound. Despite all this
technology and the thousands of engineers and experts who
