Creation Moment 8/11/2023 - The "Astoundingly Efficient" Brain

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14

"So a typical adult human brain runs on around 12 watts—a fifth of
the power required by a standard 60 watt lightbulb. 
Compared with most other organs, the brain is greedy; pitted against man-made electronics, it is astoundingly efficient. IBM's Watson, the supercomputer that defeated Jeopardy! champions, depends on ninety IBM Power 750 servers, each of which requires around one thousand watts."
