Human evolution from a scientific stantpoint - Scientific debate, not a religious one

[blanka09]

Um.. Kester, I have to agree with Nantuko on this one.. even though I believe as much as you do, we've been told to keep this topic totally unreligious ..

Now.. where do I start.. :biggrin:

Good point....I've gotta stop making these debate posts at 3 in the morning......

I'll have to think up of some new way to argue my point now.....damn you *shakes fist*

OH yeah.. me too, me too... Mine's usually at 2.30 am :biggrin:

....not to the point of being completely psycho, but a simple instability in the brain....and were claiming that they were being attacked by invisible forces. After doing a psychoanalysis, EEG (or whatever brainscans they did), they determined that there was no "invisible forces." What had happened was that the "victim" believed that he was being attacked to such a degree that the brain actually believed it too, and therefore CAUSED the slash wounds to open on their own, with no outside interference. The brain was tricked into thinking that some invisible force with a knife was attacking, and therefore the body responded as though it was actually happening....the brain caused the body to think that a knife was sliding across the skin, and in turn, the skin sliced open and bled

However true that is, I haven't really studied on the topic of
psychoanalysis and although I haven't heard of those special brain cases, so I don't have anything against them.. But you said that the the brain tricked the body into thinking a knife was attacking and caused the skin to slice open and bleed. Now take a look at that statement and the concept of being psychic.
The brain can "trick" the body into thinking something simply because it is in control of basically all the cells, organs and systems in the body. Thus it can trick so to say.. the body into doing something. There are various neurones that connect the brain to those systems.. to those organs and to those cells that inturn cause the reaction the skin faces. But for that object outside the body, the brain has no control over them. No matter how it tricked the body into doing something.. There had to be some sorta connection.. Some sorta message from the brain to that body part that would have reacted in that way.
But in the case of the stone or the other object, the brain has no connection with that object .. so it cannot move the object.

Take for instance I want to move a stone with my brain and Joe wants to move that same stone with his brain.. Which would move.. what would happen?? What would the poor stone do? :biggrin:

Now if you notice... I didn't take any of the quotes from the movies because they're not real.. but movies. Anyway, I like that Matrix quote. :biggrin:
