Why is it that our brain cant predict what we will think of.

Example: how is it that a long time ago, people would never imagined a car. A car would not be on record in their brains, meaning no picture or example or explanation of what it is. but yet eventually, people invented the car. I mean there is something probably 80 years from now that will be avaliable, but we dont know what it is, but how do we get from not knowing anything about it, to creating it.

Natural selection or the fixidity of species? ( well, i wanna know how many scientists are here or how about how many religious people are here. Or at least, how many have taken a physical anthropology course in college....remember Darwin's theory?) Oh and you don't have to explain your reasons. :-)

I ask, because I see more and more men grouping with and defending men, and women grouping with and defending women in heated topics, (inlcuding on this forum). Perhaps I'm misguided, but I partly blaim feminists for constantly teaching girls of wrongs by men but NOT emphasizing enough that not all men are the same. Boys seem to resent being treated like rapests, chauvanists, women beaters, etc... before they ever do anything wrong. Of course, this causes strive between boys and girls. What do you think?

Apparently she donated like $6 million to the comunity where the child comes from(Mawali,Africa) and there is a bunch of contreversy regaurding whether or not the father actually and knowingly agreed to said adoption.
My question is:Should people of America work to eradicate the problems of poverty and orphaned children in our own countries before we do so abroad?I would make the comparison that all the anti war people say:That we have to stop "worrying" about other countrie's,when we have so many issue's (drugs,poverty,orphans)on the homefront .Also I agree that the Madona's and Brangelina's of the world should be able to live there live's how they choose.

Just another question to enlighten me and quite possibly someone else. To dignify this question is easy...to answer it...is....a pillar that may support more than thirty-two characters. Thank you ALL for your support/criticsms/insights.

Such as taking place in the same room, building, park..etc? But the dreams themself are always different and to add to it, it is a place you've otherwise never have been? What would make the place important?

I want to transcend the stereotype of the angry feminist and make a useful contribution. How can I accomplish this? Are there any good books/articles or magazines to give me some perspective?

paying for smarts is paying for no work - payment is converted into goods = products of work

so paying for smarts [gifts of nature, not the person's work] is giving work for no work -permitting the person taking out more than the person puts in [theft, injustice, wealth, political power [to steal more bigger faster] ], forcing others to take out less than they put in [slavery, loss of political power, democracy, rights] - permittg legal theft - money for nothg [money for nothg of the person - money for something of mother nature's - paying the wrong persn - mother nature doesnt need to be pd - we couldnt afford to buy her gifts]

ppl think: bill gates: $500,000/hr [his lifetime avg], rich, lucky guy [& maybe: wow, that cd be me!] - they dont grasp: putting in one hr of himself, taking out 50,000 hrs of other ppl - ie, ppl putting in 50,000 hrs of themselves, taking out one hr for themselves

bg can work one hr, & buy a $500,000 smthg - but he cant make a $500,000 smthg in 1 hr
