leroy said:An intelligent designer would, or at least could have, created a brain capable of asking philosophical questions, God wouldn't care if this brain is more complex and consumes more energy than a brain without this ability is he finds this brain apt for whatever purposes he might have.
LEROY said:But evolution is more likely to create a simple brain than a complex brain (a complex brain would require more random mutations) and natural selection is more likely to select a brain that consumes less energy rather than a brain that consumes more energy, in the absence of God there is no obvious reason as for why complex philosophical evolved.
LEROY said:Ievolution is not likely to create unnecessary complexity, if a complex brain capable of asking philosophical questions has no selective benefit, why would it evolve?
leroy said:besides a brain that wonders about all that deep philosophical stuff is more complex and requires more energy than a brain that doesn't wonder about that stuff,
leroy said:so why did brains that can wonder about deep philosophical stuff evolved? why not keeping a simpler brain, that consumes less energy that is efficient in communicating, learning, remembering etc. but that simply doesn't wonder about all these philosophical stuff.

Sparhafoc said:How did God make brains, LEROY?
You don't know.
Thanks for pretending you were playing.
leroy said:however the human brain is unnecessarily too complex, we wonder about the existence of God, our purpose in life, the purpose of the universe etc.....clearly wondering about these stuff is meaningless in terms of survival, we don't need to wonder about these stuff in order to survive, reproduce and pass our genes to the next generation.
besides a brain that wonders about all that deep philosophical stuff is more complex and requires more energy than a brain that doesn't wonder about that stuff,

This is also a thing of beauty, but one I'm fairly familiar with. :lol:

That's a thing of beauty. Hadn't come across that before.
