Can't have a brain without thought (by the way what was the first thought? must have been quite an event) and vice versa. The compound eye appeared suddenly in the Cambrian explosion. It came as a package deal. What good is a retina by itself? Or ocular muscles without a lens? Yet, according to Darwin it could not come as a package. If it did, it would violate the very criteria he established for his theory that living structures had to be capable of evolving in small incremental steps. No progression of eye designs from simple to complex has ever been produced in the natural or fossil world.
Yeah like some other members mentioned "why don't you read a science book? why don't you look at the evidence?" and the difference between me (or any other rational person) and you is that I take the world as it is, I rely on observable evidence; while you have an agenda. In your case it's that Jesus rose from the dead. You start with that foundational belief then conveniently sidestep logic and reason backward to specific beliefs. Everything has to subordinate so that your fundamentalism can be untouched. Therefore since Jesus divinity makes perfect sense to you, evolution can't because that is ultimately contradictory to divinity of Jesus.
Therefore you have to ask yourself why do you believe that Jesus rose from the dead and that it wasn't a case that people lied, someone ransacked the tomb, the witnesses were unreliable (of course if Jesus even existed)?
Seriously, What evidence would prove you that Jesus was not divine/rise from the dead?
That's why when you mostly talk to religious people that deny evolution, it is rarely about the evolution itself and showing them the evidence, rather it's about their bias, their core belief on which their worldview stands on.
