Religions in Human Evolution

I'm not so sure, friend. Even the scriptures talk about the brain and the mind and consciousness, and this energy. All throughout them.
What would the Scriptures have to do with modern neuroscience or evolution of the nervous system. Remember the brain is part of the Central nervous system.

Although, "Even the scriptures talk about the brain and the mind and consciousness"

of course they do we are humans.

The Scriptures have the earth made before the sun, moon and stars and we know that didn't happen.

Do you believe rocks are conscious?

That is correct, because the creation story is about the human, not the creation of the literal earth.

The scriptures have everything to do with the brain, the fractured mind, and the release of energy/light from that brain transforming a human.

The Spirit and science go together, they are practically a combination of that which is unknown into being made known. Evolution of the brain and "knowledge."

12 tribes of Israel surrounding the tabernacle (12 cranial nerves surrounding the brain (the temple where God dwells.)
From the stem of Jesse comes the light (brain stem)
Tribe of Judah (186,400) camped on the East.
The list is endless..... Almost all of scripture speaks of the neuroscience of the brain in spiritual ways, the saving light, higher consciousness, awareness, the processes of God dwelling bodily from the temple(heavens) of the earth(body) in which one is a living soul trapped between with a fractured mind and ego that gets in the way, and animalistic and beastly nature of the flesh and heart that needs corrected. Minds that create our own knowledge and worlds and kingdoms that we become enslaved in, which are in need of being brought low and destroyed by this light/energy released from the temple of God (in the brain)
Adam "knowing" his wife Eve(the mother of all living) .... Is just that... Creating seeds (children/knowledge) which grow and develop inside of us creating our own little world's and kingdoms within that need destroyed. It's easy for the natural to take all/most of scripture literally, thinking of literal earthly marriage, literal children, literal slavery, literal everything when the spiritual meaning behind it is what matters. This is why religion is created. Scripture is taken naturally, literally, carnally. When it's for the spiritual and one of higher conscious.
It's all about "knowledge" we create within ourselves through our brain, mind, and heart.... Impregnating ourselves with both "good" and "bad" knowledge (good and bad seed/ good and bad children). Why you see so much slaying and God destroying "children" in the Hebrew Scriptures.

List is endless.... Scripture speaks of the entire brain and it's components, down through the spinal cord and into the body. Energy and light. Water and blood... To no surprise are in every human and makes up most of our body and is also responsible for this energy.

Isaiah 45:7King James Version (KJV)
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

A lord is defined as one that exists,is alive. We create our own little world's.

By the way energy created matter and we are made from matter.

It may also be worth reading this, although a little older now then current research.

The Electric Brain
  • How does a three-pound mass of wet gray tissue (the brain) succeed in representing the external world so beautifully? In this interview with noted neuroscientist Rodolfo Llinás of the New York University School of Medicine, find out how the rhythm of electrical oscillations in the brain gives rise to consciousness, and how failures in this rhythm can lead to a variety of brain disorders.

Nice link. Precisely, we are the "EARTH" in scripture. Our bodies. Made from matter. This is also scientifically proven.

Religion and the Brain
A Debate
Two scientists suggest that religious experiences arise from brain networks that evolved for other purposes. A psychiatrist counters that the brain may be a medium for religious experience without necessarily generating it.

Religion and the Brain: A Debate

One thing it doesn't mention is neuroplasicity. They found that most areas of brain grow new cells, especially if you practice something. It can create new neural networks.

There is a new field called Neurotheology

Indeed, Eve the mother of all living being impregnated with more and vast networks of knowledge... More and more, newer and newer cells. (children) Adam "knew" his wife Eve. (Knowledge). This is nothing new. Ancients and the spiritual have understood this for years. Science just proves it and runs to dead ends trying to explain the spiritually unknown. They go hand in hand.

Wait, it has genesis and god creating the "heavens and earth and stars and life and man, but it has it wrong.


Sorry but whatt does this have to do with neuroscience and accuracy

It says "cranial nerves" and "brain stem" in the Bible or you added them or interpret it that way, please point ou those actual terms, I must have missed that, although I didn't miss this.

I love it when someone say's there religion is fact on the same thread that someone else says theirs is fact. Are you both right, based only on each individual belief.
The bible is not a science book. In fact it has a ton of inconsistencies, pointed out by Bible scholars no less.

You are speaking from religion and a conditioned, natural mind. You assume that adding to that book (just the book of Revelation) by the way... Is speaking of the bible, which is also idolized and viewed as God and God being replaced by a book. Nor does a religious and conditioned mind have any clue what the revealing of the Christ(light) within oneself means or that the entire book happens internally... Yet in man's imagination and religious mind it's where a loving God comes to destroy humans' (which is anti-God and anti-love) to begin with, that He created, making Him a failure and incapable of saving His creation. Yeah... Even a child can see there is something wrong with that.

Bible scholars? Are you a man pleaser? Please say no. You don't listen, you react. You get defensive. You view as personal attacks. Calm, friend. Be still of mind.

Hosea 4:6King James Version (KJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

What? I study religion and neuroscience,separately. I know of no supernatural mind, only a natural one.

What is your source?

Also while your at it let me ask you another question, if God is light he has a speed limit. 186,000 miles per second. It would take God 100,000 years to cross the Milkyway alone.

I don't not personally subscribe to ANY organized religion. I beleive there are all man made concepts, which is why there are so many of them and millions of gods.

Also,186,400 mph dropping from the brain throughout the body would seem as a change in the twinkling of an eye ;).

Also, since you are not doctrinated... Which is wonderful!.... You should see how everything just told to you is of one truth and applies to every single human... To the least to the greatest, to the Christian to the Jew to to Muslim to the Buddhist to the any human. The scriptures apply all internally. If all humans' can't have it in common... It's not of God.

You can't seem to speak for yourself or answer any questions. You just post Bible quotes and have misinterpreted them even.

Hosea 4:6King James Version (KJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.


Yes there are bible scholars. You take the Bible as a factual book with no inconsistencies and I don't.

Writers of the Bible
  • Biblical scholars since the 17th century have pointed to evidence that human writers, and in fact a number of different writers, composed the Bible. Mainstream Jewish and Christian organizations, including seminaries and rabbinical schools, generally embrace such scholarship—seeing the voice of God in a text compiled by human hands. In the following interview, Michael Coogan, Professor of Religious Studies at Stonehill College and Director of Publications for the Harvard Semitic Museum, offers insights into how scholars today understand how the first five books of the Bible were written.

    What are some obvious inconsistencies, for instance in the Noah story?
    In the story of the flood, in Genesis chapters 6 to 9, there seem to be two accounts that have been combined, and they have a number of inconsistencies. For example, how many of each species of animals is Noah supposed to bring into the ark? One text says two, a pair of every kind of animal. Another text says seven pairs of the clean animals and only two of the unclean animals.

So you also know nothing about physics. Doesn't surprise me either.

You know posting Bible quotes without using your own brain to address questions asked of you in a debate is childish. Speak your own words using your own brain. I read the book, you don't have to repeat your own interpretations of it to me. Thanks.

Once again, you are "assuming" I view the bible this way. Another reaction.
Noah's ark is a beautiful spiritual, meditational story. Being a neuroscience guru... You should learn what opposites could be inside of your body (one unclean/one clean) and what the number seven pertains to from the ancients.
Also, you should learn where and what that flood derives from (water/energy) within destroying ones created world within.

My point precisely.... The sun and the moon are metaphors for what's inside of your body. Make the sun and the moon stand still (meditation) and destroy your emotions. Once again, bible scholars take everything literally, as do the religious minded and you are not seeing or hearing what I am saying. I don't seek my own knowledge or wisdom, I was brought low, and this isn't my wisdom or knowledge. One's own knowledge will get them killed.
Stop the assumptions, please. It struts off your ego...
