is that why they believe in a god? i use pretty much all of my brain, so i'm able to differentiate what's fake from what's real.

Yep... that whole "we only use part of our brain" thing is a urban legend. Maybe it is true for some of them though. Their questions would seem to indicate it.

the explanation we do it somewhat is that quite some you place didactic reasoning on an altar it in no way asked to be on. technology is a very good element - it somewhat is a discipline that helps contemporary technologies, and helps us to comprehend the organic international as that's. yet once you human beings start up rolling your eyes, portray as atavistic all and sundry who sees the international by using a non secular prism, you proceed previous the confines of technology, its "magisterium" as Stephen J. Gould positioned it. There are different realities in this international, and if atheist proselytizers weren't such hypocrites, they had see they take exhilaration in it too. the determination as to what to have for lunch isn't analytical, neither is it even in basic terms chemical (physique craves oranges through loss of diet C and bioflavinoids.) on occasion even an atheist sees a delightful cafe in Milan that they only ought to take a seat down at and watch the clouds roll by using. do no longer blame us if some persons see the full international with that form of poetry.

I've heard the same thing and it has nothing to do with why I believe in God. I don't really even understand how that's evidence. So what if we only use 10% or 14% or whatever? I think it's actually confusing me.

They're using the part of the brain that Evolution is killing off.

actually its more like people who want to believe that we have some untapped paranormal psychic powers.
not theists, these kooks might happen to be theists, but that isn't the reason they are doing it.

lmfao, you said this to piss people off, didn't you?
Every human being only uses 10% of their brain.
So dont think your special or anything, you only aslo use 10% to.
So, shut up, and quit intentionally being rude.

It's a scientific theory. Nothing to do with religion.

it's scientific fact that we only use roughly 10% of our brains...that we know of. You must be so special.
