BRAIN POWER

BRAIN POWER

One of my very important, and highly scientifically qualified, readers, responded to my recent post about Consciousness with some helpful additional information underlining the truth’s evidently pointing to the fact of special Creation.

“It was ‘scientific dogma’ that a person who had the two hemispheres of his/her brain severed (a treatment for severe epilepsy) had a split consciousness experience. This has now been debunked

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/01/170125093823.htm. It is not so; there remains only one unified consciousness.

And that provides a problem for the idea that human consciousness is merely an emergent property of the lump of matter called the brain”.

Gibber! Gibber!

  1. If I had more than half a brain, I may be able to understand all this scientific stuff. I was once told that; “if your brain was gunpowder, it would not even go ‘pop'”. But my brain is good enough to understand that it was designed by a being, far superior to anything human. “Of all the objects in the universe, the human brain is the most complex”; and if the Bible was purely a scientific book, (which it isn’t) I am sure there would be a lot said about it.

    1. I think that is a comment from a perfectly serviceable human brain Milton, thank you. It is interesting that the Bible is not a “scientific” book as is generally understood, but it stands up to “scientific” scrutiny. For instance Job talks about the “Circle of the earth” and many other simple descriptions of “scientific facts”. I found a quote from an old preacher called “Spurgeon” (sounds a bit of a fishy name to me!) he said “Science is the name that men give to the method by which they cover up their appalling ignorance” isn’t that fighting talk? Gibber! Gibber! Chugley

  2. I think all the animal kingdom has the capacity for “consciousness” – the state of being aware of and responsive to our environment; but what singles out humanity from others is our capacity for “self-consciousness”, by which we are aware of who/ what we are in relation to others. I think self-consciousness then leads to the ability to evaluate, plan, reason and be creative…all elements of being in “the image of God”.
