Brain Size does not Indicate Intelligence

For many years, evolutionary scientists wanted to know the cranial capacity of humans and apes they discovered. This came from the idea that a bigger brain meant greater intelligence. Some folks seem to believe this today, an indication of how bad science gains a foothold with the public. Some animals have bigger brains than humans but are not as smart.

It could be related to body size. The brain-to-body-size ratio shows that humans have larger brains in comparison to body size than some animals. Where does intelligence come from, anyway?

It seems that intelligence is a product of consciousness, but secularists tend to reject its existence. But they also wonder how it evolved. Attempting to explain intelligence appears to be an acceptance of its existence. Another question is, "How is intelligence measured?" Dunno.

Part of our brain is gray matter (you may have been told to use your gray matter as a way of urging you to think), Those brain cells called neurons reside there. White matter forms connections between neurons. Then there is surface area — the wrinkly parts actually provide more surface area for the brain to work.

There is still a great deal to learn. At this point, we know that it is irrational to believe that something as mysterious and complex as the brain evolved. It can be seen that the Creator gave his creatures the right kinds of brains to fulfill their roles in the world.

If I could take out my brain and prove that mine is bigger than yours, would that mean I’m smarter than you? Hopefully, you’d say no.

Consider this. The average brain size is different between men and women (men have bigger brains). Also, the adult brain gets smaller as we age. But only an imbecile would say that men are smarter than women or that older people are less intelligent than younger people!
