THE DECEPTION OF EVOLUTION

of presumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or the
interpretation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful [evolu-
tionist] anything is possible – and where the ardent believer [in evo-
lution] is sometimes able to believe several contradictory things at
the same time. 18

The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but the preju-
diced 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 the-
ory 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 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 processes. 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 lo-
cated. Thus, the "center of vision" is never touched by light and may
even be the darkest place you have ever known. However, you ob-
serve 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
