Irational fear of hell still naggs me from time to time

Brains evolved from simpler systems just like every other complex organ.

Quote:From fossil records, scientists can infer that the first brain structure appeared in worms over 500 million years ago. The functions of the hindbrain found in the fossil records included breathing, heart beat regulation, balance, basic motor movements and foraging skills. A trend in brain evolution according to a study done with mice, chickens, monkeys and apes concluded that more evolved species tend to preserve the structures responsible for basic behaviors. What this means is that evolution is the process of acquiring more and more sophisticated structures, not simply the addition of different structures over a long period of time.[2] A long term study comparing the human brain to the primitive brain found that the modern human brain contains the primitive hindbrain region – what most neuroscientists call the protoreptilian brain. The purpose of this part of the brain is to sustain fundamental homeostatic functions. The pons and medulla are major structures found there. A new region of the brain developed about 250 million years after the appearance of the hindbrain. This region is known as the paleomammalian brain, the major parts of which are the hippocampi and amygdalas, often referred to as the limbic system. The limbic system deals with more complex functions including emotional, sexual and fighting behaviors.

You appear to glory in your ignorance.

Why is that?
All brains are complex, that's the point. Spare everyone from cut and paste.

You probably should have led with that, rather than the last comment.  Don't you think? 

All brains are complex.  Okay, and?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Cool, another theist who thinks an argument from incredulity stemming from ignorance is reasonable.

But nervous systems can be simple and even they develop from simpler systems, they evolved over a loooooong time.

You seem to think that for some reason brains just popped into existence when that obviously isn't the case.

Please try to learn something about evolution before spouting forth on the subject.

Spare everyone from the cut and paste. Or supporting evidence as I like to call it. I make a point and provide examples. I'm sorry they aren't bible verses, I'm sure you'd like those better. Jerkoff



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
