Not possible for brain and mind to appear at once since baby knows nothing, must be taught.
Yes I went to a comedy routine at the Improv. here in Dallas on "Hunters and Gatherers", it was called "Remembering The Caveman"......What does this have to do with the brain?????

Didn't you ever see Ghosts of Mars? It doesn't bob around, it floats. It is also very angry. |

C'mon, how can you not know? Yes, baby is born with a brain, but baby must be taught, he is not born with knowledge. Mind is knowledge of existence and consciousness of self, which begins to search for his needs to be met. he cannot do it on his own. His brain is not enough to sustain him, he must have knowledge which is in the mind.
Man searches for what he needs.
Man is hungry, man searches for food. (goes to store, refrigerator, shoots deer, etc.)
Man is tired. Man rests.
Man is sleepy. Man sleeps.
Man is lonely and searches for woman.
Man is afraid, searches for peace.
Man is whatever and always searches for what will meet his need.
Brain cannot think, but mind can, so it could not have been the brain that searched for mind to complete it, but mind searched for brain to exist in.
Man is a creature that searches for what he needs.
Necessity is the mother of invention so to speak, so mind needed brain, not brain needed mind. |

What is it that the brain does, exactly? I'm pretty much in agreement that you're a troll, but I'd still like to get a definition out of you on this. |

Plato said in the Symposium somewhere that we can only appreciate what is really attractive so I appreciate Kent Hovind. |

I find it interesting that planets are forming at this time...I wonder why that is if creation was a one time event? Sorry not ignoring you...just kind of interested in this brain/mind thing going on and Kent Hovind's good looks..LOL....
