A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

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
example.

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 op-
positely on the eye's retina. Here, these light rays are transmitted in-
to 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 loca-
ted. 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
at any other place? Even the most developed television screen pro-
duced by the greatest television producer in the world cannot provi-
