270                   THE EVOLUTION DECEIT



                 The reactions of some materialists to the subject discussed here show in
            no uncertain manner that their blind adherence to materialism has caused
            some kind of a flaw in their logic and for this reason, they are far removed
            from comprehending the subject. For instance, Alaattin Senel, also an acad-
            emician and a writer for Bilim ve Utopya, delivered himself of similar mes-
            sages as Rennan Pekunlu saying: "Forget the collapse of Darwinism, the
            really threatening subject is this one," and issued such challenges as "so
            you prove what you say," sensing that his own philosophy is groundless.
            What is more interesting is that this writer himself has shown in his writings
            that he can by no means grasp this fact which he considers to be a menace.
                 For instance, in an article in which he exclusively discussed this sub-
            ject, Senel accepts that the external world is perceived in the brain as an
            image. However, he then goes on to write: "I do not know whether the
            images in my brain have correlates in the external world or not, but the
            same thing applies when I speak on the phone. When I speak on the tele-
            phone, I cannot see the person I am speaking to but I can have this conver-
            sation confirmed when I later see him face to face." 212
                 By saying so, this writer actually means the following: "If we doubt our
            perceptions, we can look at matter itself and check its reality." However, this
            is an evident misconception, because it is impossible for us to reach matter
            itself. We can never get out of our minds and know what is "outside".
            Whether the voice on the phone has a correlate or not can be confirmed by
            the person on the phone. However, this confirmation is also a confirmation
            experienced by the mind.
                 As a matter of fact, the same events may be experienced also in dreams.
            For instance, Senel may also see in his dream that he speaks on the phone
            and then have this conversation confirmed by the person to whom he spoke.
            Or, Pekunlu may in his dream feel as if he is facing "a serious threat" and
            advise people to read the century-old books of Lenin. However, no matter
            what they do, these materialists cannot deny the fact that they never experi-
            ence the original of the events that have happened and the people they have
            talked to in their dreams.

                 Materialists have Fallen into the Biggest Trap in History
                 The atmosphere of panic sweeping through materialist circles in
            Turkey, of which we have mentioned only a few examples, shows that
            materialists face utter defeat, one which they have never previously suf-
