As A Man Thinketh

• Twenty-five percent of the body’s cholesterol resides within the brain. Cholesterol is an integral part of every brain cell. Without adequate cholesterol, brain cells die.

• As any parent can attest, teen brains are not fully formed. It isn’t until about the age of 25 that the human brain reaches full maturity.

• The average brain is believed to generate around 50,000 thoughts per day. Disturbingly, it’s estimated that in most people 70% of these thoughts are negative.

• More than 100,000 chemicals reactions take place in your brain every second.

• Multitasking makes you less productive. When you multitask, your brain simply rapidly toggles back and forth between tasks. This results in decreases in attention span, learning, performance, and short-term memory.

• Your brain’s storage capacity is considered virtually unlimited. It doesn’t get “used up” like RAM in your computer.

• The human brain is not solid. It’s soft and squishy similar to the consistency of soft tofu or soft gelatin. And it’s very fragile.

• The brain in your head isn’t your only brain. There’s a “second brain” in your intestines that contains 100,000 neurons. Gut bacteria are responsible for making over 30 neurotransmitters including the “happy molecule” serotonin.

Although we have known facts like these for generations, being able to replicate this incredible organ is yet to be realized. “Wet-ware” (yes, go look it up :) of this nature has no replicant in the world of man. No wonder, those who faithfully believe in the unproven theory of evolution conclude that it had to take millions of years for us to have gotten to this stage of our development as a specie. Consider this though. If it takes so many tries for evolution to get something right, what happened to all of the “rejected” versions, copies, designs that didn’t couldn’t survive the prevailing conditions. It must be that billions, if not trillions of pre-homo-sapien beings just kept on dying in order for the ideal to be reached. The equivalence of the crushed-up failed idea, throwing itself in the bin. Anyway way you look at it, it takes more faith to believe in evolution than a Creative Intelligence, designing for an intended objective. Believing in a Divine Designer can significantly shift the value we place on ourselves. It gives a new plateau from which to view our worth. We are sentient beings designed by an all powerful Mind and created in the image of Infinity. It is so good to know this temporary reality on this planet will one day come to an end.
