Boggles the mind
Three pounds of grey matter, pinkish-beige jello. 200 billion neurons with 125 trillion synapses in the cerebral cortex.
It’s the computer that I operate at my will. It’s hotwired into my nervous system. Through it, I have access to 5 basic sensory systems: 3-D camera, touch (never duplicated), sound receiver, taste (never duplicated), smell (there are intelligently designed odor scanners, but none can touch a dog’s nose). Neurons, chemicals, information storing molecules all part of a cerebral internet that relays and coordinates information by electrical impulses.
My brain stores information, 2.5 petabytes (one million gigabytes). It can: produce images, do math, formulas, and other abstract calculations, and remember all of it. It has an image generation program and an image-altering program. It’s a dream machine, I can daydream, which I control, but I have night dreams, which I do not control. I do not write the scripts but am cast as a player in each completely irrational scene that my conscious mind did not create. It also has a problem solving program and a language acquisition device. It’s all chemical and tissue, developed in my mother’s womb over 9 months.
But all this is only the tip of the iceberg in the mystery of the brain. Somewhere in my head dwells my self, my spirit, my soul, my consciousness, the one at the controls. You could call it my will or my personhood. Not so easily explained by chemistry. All the above data, impressive as it is, would be meaningless if there weren’t “someone” to run the programs and interpret the results. I can play anything I want on the “screen” inside my mind. No photons are involved. I just think and see something, or I think I see something.
In the six days of creation, God did not create my brain. He created Adam’s brain and Eve’s. After that, brains were reproduced in the billions over thousands of years. What kind of Mind could design and produce such an instrument? He breathed life into mud and the result was a “living soul,” not to mention a human body, of which the brain is only one small but phenomenal part. No, in this meditation you’re not going to understand the Maker or the brain, but you may get a glimpse.
Not intelligently designed, say some.

can I use your picture of the brain for publishing it in a book??? what is the procedure kindly let me know
I just got it off the internet, Google Chrome. I don’t think it’s copyrighted. But blog use only is one matter, and I understand that usage for a book would be more serious. Perhaps you can find it and make an attempt to locate the copyright holder?
A fascinating discussion is worth comment.
I believe that you ought to write more about this subject,
it might not be a taboo subject but usually people do not discuss these topics.
To the next! Best wishes!!
