Please refrain from deviating this thread into atheism vs intelligent design controversy. Thanks!Yep. Evolution can produce some really complicated things.
Did the video mention intelligent design?Yeah, what kind of sick demented intelligent designer would intentionally do that to people?
Luckily, the answer is no one since it wasn't something intentionally designed by an intelligence.
Not possible. There is no "atheism vs intelligent design controversy" as such. The controversy, if there is one, is intelligent design vs a variety of theistic and non-theistic models.Please refrain from deviating this thread into atheism vs intelligent design controversy. Thanks!

This thread isn't about design vs non-design. Neither is it about theism vs atheism. It is simply about the mysteries of the brain.Silly designer.
Don't you think it might behoove you to actually attempt to understand what we do know about the brain, rather than 'goddidit' the "mysteries" of the brain?This thread isn't about design vs non-design. Neither is it about theism vs atheism. It is simply about the mysteries of the brain.
You wish to deviate the thread into a subject it was not intended for. Please try to stay on topic.Don't you think it might behoove you to actually attempt to understand what we do know about the brain, rather than 'goddidit' the "mysteries" of the brain?
What is really interesting about the mysteries of the brain mentioned so far, is that they seem to support the idea of a trial & error, 'if-it-works-keep-it' iterative or stepwise kind of development rather than an intelligent designer...This thread isn't about design vs non-design.

Examples of my claims are always misunderstood, said to be bogus, misrepresented, or else are said to be incapable of being seen.
So you say, but then you can't point to any actual examples of these things happening. I wonder why.Examples of my claims are always misunderstood, said to be bogus, misrepresented, or else are said to be incapable of being seen.
Just not any that you can actually point out. Weird you'd go through the effort to dodge responding to a 3 week old post, though.Illogical conclusion based on defective premise.
It would be poetic – albeit deeply frustrating – were it ultimately to prove that the one thing the human mind is incapable of comprehending is itself. An answer must be out there somewhere. And finding it matters: indeed, one could argue that nothing else could ever matter more – since anything at all that matters, in life, only does so as a consequence of its impact on conscious brains. Yet there’s no reason to assume that our brains will be adequate vessels for the voyage towards that answer. Nor that, were we to stumble on a solution to the Hard Problem, on some distant shore where neuroscience meets philosophy, we would even recognize that we’d found it.
Why can’t the world’s greatest minds solve the mystery of consciousness? | Oliver Burkeman
One of the things which prevents the creation of androids of the kind illustrated in the film I Robot is that we are incapable of artificially duplicating what we call human consciousness with all its intricately fine nuances. That is another mystery of the human brain that is presently far beyond our grasp to comprehend.
Where did I claim that it can't ever be designed or that it isn't evidence of having been designed?Evidence it can't be designed?
