Psalm 139:14 NLT
"In an article titled “The Staggering Complexity of the Human Brain” Damian Pang explained why “our brains are the most complex structures in the known universe.”
"In an article titled “The Staggering Complexity of the Human Brain” Damian Pang explained why “our brains are the most complex structures in the known universe.”
First, the human brain contains close to 86 billion neuron cells, plus 85 billion other cells, and over 100 trillion connections. Researchers have spent several hundred million dollars on research in an effort to map the structure of the brain. So far they have failed.
The research ran for ten years and involved 500 scientists across
different institutions. There are another 85 billion cells that serve other functions in the brain, such as producing hormones. So far, almost 1,000 brain regions have been mapped. The goal was to map, and then simulate, the entire human brain to determine function. One reason for the failure is that the function of the brain is even more complex than its structure. How consciousness works is the greatest mystery. Even more incredible is that each one of these neurons connects to as many as thousands of other neurons, producing an additional estimated 100 trillion connections. The computing power of the brain is one exaflop (one quintillion mathematical operations per second).
Although complete understanding of how the brain functions remains a mystery, evolutionists think they can understand how it evolved. One article confidently implied that their team of scientists could explain it. The article title asked, “How did the large brain evolve? New insights into the development [evolution] of the human brain” This new study, the authors claim, has helped to understand brain development but, as we will explain, their theory goes far beyond the evidence that the study invoked.
What the neuroscientist’s research found was that two specific genes, existing only in humans, influence the development of the cerebrum.
These few genes are two of many that create the enormous difference in human brains compared to that of all other animals. Scientists have known that human brains are very different from all animals’ brains for eons. They know of at least two specific genes that help to explain this difference. They also now know why these two genes are important and what they do:
Creationists accept this finding at face value because it helps to scientifically explain the chasm existing between humans and all other life. Evolutionists go beyond these facts and try to explain it." CEH

"The results of the study show that the two genes act in a finely tuned interplay: one ensures that the progenitor cells of the brain multiply more, while the other causes these cells to transform into a different type of progenitor cell — the cells that later form the nerve cells of the brain."
