The Deception of Evolution

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 an-
swer the question of how we see. Light rays coming from an ob-
ject fall oppositely on the eye's retina. Here, these light rays are
transmitted into electric signals by cells and reach a tiny spot at
the back of the brain, the "center of vision". These electric signals
are perceived in this center as an image after a series of process-
es. With this technical background, let us do some thinking.
The brain is insulated from light. That means that its inside
is completely dark, and that no light reaches the place where it is
located. Thus, the "center of vision" is never touched by light and
may even be the darkest place you have ever known. However,
you observe a luminous, bright world in this pitch darkness.
The image formed in the eye is so sharp and distinct that
even the technology of the twentieth century has not been able
to attain it. For instance, look at the book you are reading, your
hands with which you are holding it, and then lift your head and
look around you. Have you ever seen such a sharp and distinct
image as this one at any other place? Even the most developed
television screen produced by the greatest television producer in
the world cannot provide such a sharp image for you. This is a
three-dimensional, colored, and extremely sharp image. For
more than 100 years, thousands of engineers have been trying to
achieve this sharpness. Factories, huge premises were estab-
lished, much research has been done, plans and designs have
been made for this purpose. Again, look at a TV screen and the
