Hold on, I’m still processing this.
Ping!
LOL :o)
Any word yet on the speed of stupid? That usually beats the speed of thought hands down! ;)
Evolution theory has gotten a few quirks in it since the days of Darwin. One of the most intriguing things is the ability for vastly unrelated species to share DNA, thanks to microbes.
Modern evolution theory is, in the end, another window in general revelation showing the same God that gave special revelation.
Very few “stupid” roles have been so intelligently performed. Too bad he doesn’t bring that same intelligence to many other areas of his life :o(
Interesting article, thanks for posting it.
Hubbie knows this already... I can switch topics faster than....
I would add microprocessors in the temporal lobe. We are fast approaching the day were the melding of the human mind and computers is near. I would gladly volunteer for that type of procedure.
We haven't even scratched the surface.
Quantum physics, Zero Point Field, Noetics - the ancient wisdoms - these are exciting fields. Just maybe science of the brain will advance to the point it meets itself full circle
My pleasure :o)
Which is probably one of the reasons why men find a woman’s mind so baffling :o)
In DE RERUM NATURA Lucretius comes very close to enunciating the existence of a genome:
... we see that all things bred from fixed seeds by a fixed mother are able to conserve their kind as they grow. Assuredly this must come about in a fixed way. For in each thing, its own proper bodies are spread abroad through the frame within from all its foods, and being combined produce the appropriate motions. ( 2.707 )
All this from the mere conviction of atomism, which today we take for granted.
BTW, the Latin for "must come about in a fixed way" is "fieri ratione necessust", and I believe this a is much stronger statement than the translation indicates because of "ratione" ... ( by means of a ) "reckoning, numbering, casting up, account, calculation, computation".
Throw in there liberal’s brain and you got reaaaaal mysterrry!
Our brains and minds all exist due to a series of accidents that built on previous accidents. Said minds have the capability to know of their own existence and contemplate their origins.
This all happened by chance with absolutely no outside influence.
I know all this because my high school biology teacher said it is so.
