IS GOD THE CREATOR OF OUR BRAIN? Evolution of the Brain of Man.
Then, having read about it, it is when I most strongly affirm the Creation of God, because it is so perfect, that the elements that form it are not isolated, (creation) they are part of the mystery of creation , from the elements that make up nature to the realms man, animal, plant and the universe in general are the product of a designer who measured how far man could go through scientific research, and create his own thesis to reach a point that can not give humanly logical reasoning about the researched, generating a hidden sense and that is difficult to understand, interpret and explain based on data or objectives and verifiable on a given topic.
What is the brain?
The brain is a human organ that weighs around a kilo and a half with the capacity to perceive information, analyze it, integrate it, transmit orders to regulate the organism, behavior, thought, feelings, language. it has cells or neurons that serve to transform chemical changes due to neurotransmitters into electrical stimuli and transmit them through the synapses to the neuron remnants of the brain network.
The image shows, as in the brain, the genealogical tree of the evolution of the species.
Put your analytical skills to work. It is understood that Man thinks and reasons. So, let's read this scientific argument.
The evolution of the brain?
In invertebrates the nervous system is formed by ganglion or neuronal groupings.
Reptiles have a bulb at the cephalic end of the marrow. Control vegetative survival without any emotional interaction
Primitive mammals superimpose the limbic brain with the hypothalamus. Among other functions, it regulates temperature and emotional capacity; with what achieving bonding and affection with the offspring and the congeners.
The first mammals With the arrival of the first mammals, they developed the cortex and limbic system, which covers the interior structures of the reptilian brain and surrounds the brainstem. With the cerebral cortex and with it learning and memory.
The higher mammals added a new structure to the brain. The neocortex appeared. In neocortex, higher cognitive abilities reside:
All mammals have similar brain cells with a six-layer neocortex; but the last primates the volume is greater than in the rest. With evolution, the neocortex is increasing in size, in humans it is the most voluminous part. A more neocortex more intelligence.The Man With the evolution have been superimposing the new structures with the old ones; some on others. In man, the most archaic brain structures coexist with the most modern ones. In our brain are still, in the inner part, the brain structures of reptiles, is the reptilian brain. This area does not think or learn, but serves basic functions such as breathing and metabolism, is responsible for automatic reactions and movements, automatically responds to certain signals, is directly connected to the spinal cord, and is with the appearance of higher mammals, which create other layers to the brain that makes it sensitive with cognitive abilities such as language, analysis, abstraction, problem solving, planning.
I wonder, if the brain has been evolving until now, then, in the future will more layers be added to the brain or will the involution begin and complete the cycle, until it becomes a fish again?
Today, scientists have not been able to demonstrate how memory stored in the brain is stored and recovered. The great secret of the memory is that above all we codify the relations between the things more than the detail of each one of them. It's like remembering the melody of a song without remembering the notes that make up the melody. If the storage of memory is a mystery; even more difficult to explain the process of recovering what is stored in memory. So little, they have been able to demonstrate in themselves, what is intelligence, consciousness and many functions of the brain that lead to subjectivity.
