Page 829 - Atlas of Creation Volume 3

Harun Yahya

remember the image in my brain I shouted at. What an astounding creation we have. The idea that mat-
ter exists is so powerful that nobody who did not know the truth could ever doubt it. I sometimes look at
the Bosphorus. I think about how long it would take to get to the opposite shore. I look into the distance.

Then I think. Even the place I believe to be furthest away is inside me, in my brain, inside my brain as an
image in other words. Man is an extraordinary creature. God has created him with such splendid knowl-
edge that I do not exactly know how to describe or talk about it. Let me say, however: I hope that you and
your work will find favor with God for giving us this great knowledge. E.M. Istanbul
I read your account of the secret behind matter at the back of The Evolution Deceit with great in-

terest and excitement. At first, I understood it in theory, but not in practice. Then it suddenly fell into
place when I was thinking about it. I was caught up in a stunning excitement. "God," I said, "this is an
amazing thing." Such a thing had never crossed my mind. They used to say that life was like a dream. I

thought that was just a figure of speech. Such people did not mean it in the true sense of the words, but
as a simile. Who knows what they would do if they knew it was actually true? It is an extraordinary situ-
ation. Yet everyone who reads the book is quite calm. I wonder if they have fully understood it. How can
they be so calm in the face of such a position? I have now understood death, the hereafter, resurrection,
life in heaven and everything much better. In the Qur’an, God says, "It is easy for Us to create you again."

Everything is now clear in my mind. Everyone I talk to on the subject has difficulty in understanding it.
How can I explain it more easily and clearly? Some people I described the subject to got really very ex-
cited. I wonder if I am wrong to explain it all so directly? Would it be better if I first explain about the love

of God, that He is the Compassionate and Merciful, and that He wants people to attain the very best and
live in the best possible way? What do you think? S. U. Edirne
Ever since I was a child, I had thought that matter was genuinely perceived and clearly existed. Yet
since primary school I was always told that all the senses form inside the brain. It was a fact I knew very
well. I explained it clearly so many times in biology classes, but I still never really saw the true face of the

matter. I would say that images formed in the brain, but that matter existed far away outside me. It is out
there, and I see it. My thinking was confused, along the lines that the image formed where my eye was,
and then in the brain. Thought that matter existed absolutely, right there in front of me. Actually, I cannot

have thought too deeply about it. Whereas matter appears in only one place. I see that place and matter
as being together. It is as if I am in front of a thin curtain, but it is not clear what is actually doing the
watching, a nothingness or a soul. Yet there is a power that perceives everything, a nothingness that takes
up no space, yet a consciousness that perceives the five senses. Are you thinking of writing a more de-
tailed work on the subject? Also, your books are not available in the province where I live. Can I inform

the publishers? With my respectful wishes for your every success. Y.C. Kayseri
I explained this subject to a number of my friends. They are university graduates, yet they are quite
incapable of conceiving what the subject is all about. "Come off it," they say. "OK, the image may form in

my brain. But you are right there in front of me," as they put their hands on my shoulder. I describe how
that conversation and action is all taking place in the brain. I even say that if the nerves leading to the
brain were cut they would be unable to see, or touch. They still don't understand. That failure to under-
stand seems to me like 'the emergence of a diagnostic metaphysical truth,' because they are unable to
grasp this concept. Yet I explained it to my nephew, a primary school student, and he got it at once. I ask

myself whether their comprehension has been deliberately prevented. Or whether they have no personal
identity. Is that possible? The Qur’an speaks about people whose eyes and ears are closed. Is it possible
some people do not have any consciousness of seeing or hearing? Could you go into these matters in the

next edition of your book? Thank you in advance. E.A. Istanbul
Dear Harun Yahya, I particularly enjoy reading philosophy, and so I read about the secret behind
matter with great enjoyment. That matter is an illusion has been explained several times in the past. Yet
people have probably not had the time to consider the perceptions that convince them that matter does
exist, or else they would have grasped this evident truth. However, they have much greater opportuni-

ties to see truth of it these days. The studies into and descriptions of the structure of the eye, the nerves
