So does evolution teach the brain came first or the mind?

Question

And when did the mind of a human being realize it needed companionship, love, warmth.

And how did the brain know it needed a mind for these things?

We could go on and on with questions like these and never come to a adequate conclusion because GOD CREATED ALL OF IT!

Not one Atheist can answer all these types of questions and if you say they can then prove it?

You ask Christians to prove there is no GOD yet why is it you cannot prove there is no GOD?????

Answer 1

Yes, god created everything. And when someone kills you for being an idiot, that will have been gods will too. I wish god wouldnt take so long on that however because your a raving lunatic!

Answer 2

> So does evolution teach the brain came first or the mind?
Brain came first, although we might call it "paired anterior ganglia" or some such.

> when did the mind of a human being realize it needed companionship, love, warmth.
Such realization came long before there were minds or human beings. You noticed monkeys hang around in troops?

> how did the brain know it needed a mind for these things?
The mind appears to be an emergent property of our oversized brains.

> GOD CREATED ALL OF IT!
Presents appear beneath my Christmas tree every year, and the milk gets drunk and the cookies get eaten, therefore Santa Claus exists and is responsible for these phenomena. Can you think of another explanation? Is it a better explanation?

> You ask Christians to prove there is no GOD yet why is it you cannot prove there is no GOD?????
Honey, like I was saying, I can't even prove there is no Santa Claus.
But I will tell you: I do not expect Santa to do anything for me in April, May, June July... you get the picture.

Faith is required. Enjoy your faith. Don't attempt to use logic to justify it.

Answer 3

Drinks. There is no proof of god, get it straight.

These things developed from natural selection. Obviously, the mother who didn't care for its child, had no children to survive thus making said species survive. Ultimately a great great ancestor of mammals there. (Companionship et al.)

Insects are a different case altogether.

The brain know it needed a mind? Explain what that means, and I will answer it.

Conscious thought came after the brain. Too obvious to cite and explain. Animals all around (dolphins, elephants, etc, all have those traits companionship love and warmth, dogs do too) so they develloped as each species evolved out of necessity in an uncaring world.

If god is all powerful then he could make a rock that he could not lift. If he created such, then he is not all powerful because he cannot lift said rock. If he cannot create said rock he is not all powerful.

There is no proof of his existence.

You can not prove there is a god.

End.

Answer 4

Evolution of the brain began with cephilisation of nerve cell in tiny worm like beings similar to modern flatworms. Mind is a hollow word with no real meaning but since a person can lose there mind but not their brain i would say the Brain is a requirement for the mind and must have come first.. Humans would have developed the need for love etc. because it helps survival via strength in numbers and promotes both parents to stick around after there children have been born.

When did we realize that we needed things? I guess your saying when did the human become introspective. That would have begun shortly after use of tools and secondary problem solving i would bet.

I really tried to give your questions some credit but honestly the only reason you think they can't be answered is because you don't want to hear the answers

Answer 5

Perhaps we cannot answer. the problem is, we dont know enough about the brain yet, and I am much more comfortable with that, than I am with saying it was some higher power. Furthermore, if god did create us, why did he make us with underdeveloped frontal cortexes, and oversized adrenal glands, which would hint to evolution, why give us arms long enough to masturbate if it is a sin, why give us the possibility of impure thoughts if they are a sin. He is all powerful and all knowing, he could have made us much better. We have underdeveloped eyes, unused appendixes, vestiges of tails. Why would we have such things if not for evolution, did he simply want to screw with us? Our DNA is overcrowded with useless junk that means nothing to our species, why would a supreme being be so inefficient? Thus if he is real, he is incompetent, clumsy, and to much extent a failure of a supreme being.

Answer 6

It's amazing how you manage to keep writing questions so twisted that they cannot actually be answered, so that you can then say "Aha! They have no answers!"

Evolution isn't in the business of answering your silly little questions, and why would it be? Where in evolution would the need for companionship or love fall? That's cultural, not biological. And why would the answer then have to be "GOD CREATED ALL OF IT!"? You keep jumping to a conclusion because you can't accept anything else. Doesn't that failure as a logical human being frighten you about yourself?

Answer 7

I too am not the smartest pickle in the barrel. Dear heart, as shown in several of the posts above, more than a few participants in the R&S panel are insightful, well-educated, 'thinking' people. Yet you, a person who is perhaps in want of large cognitive gifts, leap into their paths with abandon. If I may, I shall suggest that your 'questions' only come in the wake of research, profound study of the matter at hand, the exercise of logic and reasoning, and of really 'thinking'. Otherwise, as you do in this stance, whether or not you know it, you cast a light on yourself which reflects emotional and 'understanding' shortfalls that cry for your attention.

Answer 8

Actually anthropologists, psychologists, geneticists, etc, can answer those questions.

The brain came about before "mind" came about. things like love, companionship, etc are survival traits that are seen in social animals. As the brain developed and reached a higher level (basically only in humans) those social traits also became more developed.

Answer 9

evolution is a theory
the·o·ry (th-r, thîr) KEY

NOUN:
pl. the·o·ries
A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
The branch of a science or art consisting of its explanatory statements, accepted principles, and methods of analysis, as opposed to practice: a fine musician who had never studied theory.
A set of theorems that constitute a systematic view of a branch of mathematics.
Abstract reasoning; speculation: a decision based on experience rather than theory.
A belief or principle that guides action or assists comprehension or judgment: staked out the house on the theory that criminals usually return to the scene of the crime.
An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.
ok????????????
and there is no proof either way of ANYTHING--so stop trying to prove your right when you cant either!!!!!!!!!!!
the world is way too complex to have been made by only one imperfect entity--and that my dear is a fact.

Answer 10

Boy, you sure are clever. *

I can answer all of your questions except for "How did the brain know it needed a mind" because I don't even feel that this question makes sense. I suppose you're willing to accept on faith that there's a bicycle under the atmosphere of Jupiter, just because it can't be disproven. I can disprove the existence of the Judeo-Christian god, easily. It's in my 360 blog, go look, or don't I don't really care.




*Did you notice the sarcasm?

Answer 11

Wow. You are just another Christian who comes across like another idiot. You ignore modern scientifical evidence, and instead use a book written over thousands of years ago as your proof that God exists. Since you Christians cannot prove God is real, that gives me proof that God is not real. If God's disciples cannot prove he is real, then he is not real.
