well, i mean... a theory proves that albert einstein only used tenth of his brain..and look how smart he turned out... but what if..we found a way..to use more then tenth of ur brains... we might have telekenetic powers... control stuff...move things ard... it'll probaly be very cool...except might only happen in the near future.... honestly im no expert in all this... just interested..tads all...;)

The idea is cool. Then again, we have to wonder what WILL happen if we used 100% of our brains. Remember that there are different parts of the brain that do different things... movement, memory, sight... etch
If we could use ALL of it, then it probably means there would be no competing against anyone because then everyone would be good at everything. Math, English, Memory, Listening... etc you name it... (on the plus side, taking a math test will be easy). lol
But if 100% usage of our brains also meant telepathy, telekinesis... and all that with it too... it would probably make cheating in an exam (by reading the minds of others), and communication with ghosts a lot easier too... (isn't that kind of pointless - there will be nothing to be afraid of, everyone would be to cocky... and what would be the point of having excellent memory when you could just cheat by reading someone else's mind?).
On the plus side, there won't be any need for telephones because you could use telepathy. Weather forecasters will be out of a job because you could predict the weather yourself... and you could sit on the couch all day because you could use telekinesis to get the TV remote for you...
Sadly, I think it has its down side too, because some idiot will spoil it for everyone by misusing it... they'll probably make some sort of super-machine thing that could enhance their brain to do more, and then try and take over the world...
Wow... what a thought...

Evolution is real. It is the only theory which is logically supportable.
That 10% thing is an urban myth, generated as a misinterpretation of early imaging studies showing only parts of our brain as active. In fact it is all used, just not at the same time. Our brains are energy hogs, they consume vast amounts of it. I think about 25% of the total body's usage. To not use 90% of our brain would result in evolutionary brain shrinkage over the years since the energy savings of a smaller brain would be beneficial in times of hardship.

Of course it is real. Our brains are pretty huge, we don't use all of our brain simply because it isn't necessary to. Evolution is a slow process and the greatest gain from evolution was the use of fire to cook our red meats which activated proteins in meat and other foods not available without fire. This caused our brains to develop from the more primitive man, like homo erectus, Neanderthals and thus became, Homo Sapiens. enabling us to use tools, later to talk and build small communities. However, Humans haven't changed that drastically in the last 20,000 years, at least there is not that much evidence of it. Other than changes in height and weight based on nutritional factors. I hope this helps :)

With so few people actually trying to use all of their brain's powers, it's highly unlikely that there will be many who are able to push it to new levels. We have become incredibly lazy, reducing conversation to "rofl-isms" and emoticons, having our brains force-fed images through TV and movies rather than read a book and conjure them up through our own imaginations.
Evolution is a drift in gene frequency, or a response to pressure. Currently, there is little or no pressure driving the human species towards increased intelligence, and thus, no leap to superhuman mental abilities is on the horizon.

some human beings will in no way learn concerning the information of evolution, they'll in simple terms pass directly to have self assurance that a spirit summoning elephants out of no longer something in an unexplained way is, for some imprecise reason, greater effectual than the organic motives. "faster or later everybody dies" Wow, how ought to human beings comprehend that without the bible? Ahum, wait a minute. I did.

According to what I have watched (Eye Witness), We will be confused if we remember everything from the day we were born up to the last second we think. That's why we forget things because we only use tenth of our brain.

Huh? What 'theory' proves that Einstein only used 1/10th of his brain. This is simply absurd. If you believe that you only use 10% of your brain then I'd like to know what 90% you think could be removed? On top of that, you're post makes neither grammatical, nor logical sense. I suggest you stop smoking the gunga and read a bit.

Human evolution is real.
However, you seem to have some, uh, unscientific ideas.
We do use more than 10% of our brains, and telepathic and psychic events are just fantasy.

Actually the 10% thing is an urban myth, we use all our brains. See this link for more info:
