butterflies, or millions of other living beings such as these. Indeed,
they could not obtain even a single cell of any one of them.
Briefly, unconscious atoms cannot form the cell by coming to-
gether. They cannot take a new decision and divide this cell into two,
then take other decisions and create the professors who first invent the
electron microscope and then examine their own cell structure under
that microscope. Matter is an unconscious, lifeless heap, and it
comes to life with God's superior creation.
The theory of evolution, which claims the opposite, is a total fal-
lacy completely contrary to reason. Thinking even a little bit on the
claims of evolutionists discloses this reality, just as in the above exam-
ple.

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 answer
the question of how we see. Light rays coming from an object fall op-
positely 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 locat-
ed. 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 lu-
minous, 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
