Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
To Whom Does the Consciousness that Sees and
Hears Within the Brain Belong?
Who watches an alluring world in the brain, listens to symphonies
and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and nose travel
to the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In biology, physiology,
and biochemistry books, you can find many details about how this image
forms in the brain. However, you will never come across the most im-
portant fact: Who perceives these electro-chemical nerve impulses as im-
ages, sounds, odors, and sensory events in the brain? There is a con-
sciousness in the brain that perceives all this without feeling any need
for an eye, an ear, and a nose. To whom does this consciousness belong?
Of course it does not belong to the nerves, the fat layer, and neurons com-
prising the brain. This is why Darwinist-materialists, who believe that
everything is comprised of matter, cannot answer these questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by Allah, which needs
neither the eye to watch the images nor the ear to hear the sounds. Fur-
thermore, it does not need the brain to think.
Everyone who reads this explicit and scientific fact should ponder
on Almighty Allah, and fear and seek refuge in Him, for He squeezes the
entire universe in a pitch-dark place of a few cubic centimeters in a three-
dimensional, colored, shadowy, and luminous form.
A Materialist Faith
The information we have presented so far shows us that the theory of
evolution is incompatible with scientific findings. The theory's claim re-
garding the origin of life is inconsistent with science, the evolutionary
mechanisms it proposes have no evolutionary power, and fossils demon-
strate that the required intermediate forms have never existed. So, it cer-
tainly follows that the theory of evolution should be pushed aside as an un-
scientific idea. This is how many ideas, such as the Earth-centered universe
model, have been taken out of the agenda of science throughout history.
