&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The auricle or outer ear is so optimally sculpted that its acoustical performance is comparable to that of a concert hall. It directs sound waves from the external cacophony into your middle ear, where the waves are then amplified by your eardrum or tympanic membrane.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And people still believe we weren't &amp;quot;sculpted&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;designed&amp;quot; by someone who knew what He was doing? That all these exquisite, complex, perfectly harmonized systems working together just &amp;quot;happened&amp;quot;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THAT, my friends, is what takes faith to think.&lt;/p&gt;

Most people in the world do not see to care about their ears, which is too bad. Also having lived in Europe and in America, I noticed that everything, including appliances, cars, even people, is louder in America. I'm not sure why, it seems almost like a conspiracy between the pharma / medical industry and all the other industries. Why do smoke alarms have to be so painfully loud for example? It's enough if they are as loud as an alarm clock or slightly louder. It will wake everybody up. The industries in this country need to make everything more silent. How come Europeans can manufacture soft sounding appliances and Americans can't or purposely don't?&lt;/p&gt;
