                                 The Evolution Misconception

              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 have been working on this
              endeavour, no sound has yet been obtained that has the same
              sharpness and clarity as the sound perceived by the ear.

              Think of the highest-quality HI-FI systems produced by the
              biggest company in the music industry. Even in these
              devices, when sound is recorded some of it is lost; or when
              you turn on a HI-FI you always hear a hissing sound before
              the music starts. However, the sounds that are the products
              of the technology of the human body are extremely sharp
              and clear.  A human ear never perceives a sound
              accompanied by a hissing sound or with atmospherics as
              does HI-FI; it perceives sound exactly as it is, sharp and clear.
              This is the way it has been since the creation of man.
                  So far, no visual or recording apparatus produced by man
              has been as sensitive and successful in perceiving sensory
              data as are the eye and the ear.
                  However, as far as seeing and hearing are concerned, a far
              greater fact lies beyond all this.


                  To Whom Does the Consciousness that
                  Sees and Hears Within the Brain Belong?

                  Who is it that watches an alluring world in its brain, listens
              to symphonies and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
