SEEING GOOD IN ALL
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. 19
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
