              and particularly studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally
              concluded, despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no
              such family tree branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
                   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. 51
                   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.
                   The brain is insulated from light. That means that the inside of the
