Evolutionary Brain Research Fails

Those rascally disciples of Charlie Darwin, constantly trying to find out how something evolved — even if they do not understand it. A huge undertaking to map the human brain demonstrated that there are billions of neurons, billions of other cells, trillions of connections. Yep, that puppy is complex!

Since the brain is so involved, efforts at mapping it have been unsuccessful. Scientists also do not understand its function. Also, understanding consciousness eludes the scientists that admit it exists. Yet somehow, some think they are learning how it evolved.

What is troubling is that evolution zealots learn of studies that purport to demonstrate evolution, then assume the researchers are correct. After that, they are more convinced by the deception they received and even try to badger creationists with this kind of hooey.

The study was wrong in several ways, and if researchers did not have their heads stuck in their secularist worldviews, they should have laughed the paper into oblivion. First, neutrons-to-neurologist evolution is presupposed and then they work from there. Many assumptions were made. Two special genes were found that exist in humans, and that research fits in nicely with biblical creation science expectations. The biggest problem was an outrageous comparison that was made.

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.
