Our sense organs 45

eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or
crying or pain, for the old order of things has
passed away.”
Quotes:
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) in his book The
Origin of the Species:
“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable
contrivances for adjusting the focus to different
distances, for admitting different amounts of
light, and for the correction of spherical and
chromatic aberration, could have been formed by
natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd
in the highest degree.”
Units of length:
1 kilometre = 1 km = 1000 m
1 metre = 1 m = 100 cm
1 centimetre = 1 cm = 10 mm = 10 -2 m
1 millimetre = 1 mm = one thousandth
of a metre
1 mm = 1000 µm = 10 -3 m
1 micrometre = 1 µm = one thousandth
of a millimetre
1 µm = 1000 nm = 10 -6 m
1 nanometre = 1 nm = one millionth
of a millimetre
1 nm = 1000 pm = 10 -9 m
1 picometre = 1 pm = one thousand millionth
of a millimetre
1 pm = 0.001 nm = 10 -12 m
Dr. Carl Wieland, M.B., B.S., in the magazine Creation
ex nihilo (Vol. 18, No. 2, 1996, p. 40):
“Eyes in different creatures are designed to meet
their differing needs. Humans need good resolution
and detail, whereas a fly needs speed. We
see a fluorescent lamp as flickering at 10 Hz
(cycles per second) but it looks stable to us at
20 Hz. A fly can detect a flicker of 200 Hz, so a
normal movie would look to it like a slide show!
The simple act of walking into a room and immdiately
recognizing all the objects in it requires
more computing power than a dozen of the
world’s top supercomputers put together.”
Proverb:
“There are none so blind as those who will not
see.”
French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
(1900 – 1944):
“One can only see well through one’s heart.”
