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-
