I want an explanation for the 90% of brain mass that we dont use.

And just for the record the more I learn about science and the older I get the more I lean to the earth being 6,000 years old.

By the way what are polystrate fossilized trees?

I do too!

Me too. I used to be an evolutionist, actually. I'm not any more. And I probably know more about "science" than 95% of the people who get into these crevo discussions here on FR.

By the way what are polystrate fossilized trees?

PFTs are fossilised trees that are positions such that they cross stratigraphic geological boundaries, meaning that they essentially span what can be up to "hundreds of millions of years" of geology, if you buy the old-earth geological arguments. The question is how they got there, without any evidence to suggest that they were placed in such a fashion after the fact. Did it take hundreds of millions of years for the tree to finally get buried and fossilised, all without rotting away as, well, we all know trees tend to do?

My guess is that God made us with the capability to understand ourselves and the Universe, eventually.

Right now we understand about 10%.

Obviously untrue. A guy I worked with can prove that easily (in rehab now).

That is a myth. We use all of our brain.

Polystrate (many layers); term used only by creationists.
