Memories in Cells
It has been long debated where memories are located in the brain, especially since they seem to be in many regions. The more the brain is studied, the more amazing it becomes — and yet, the brain is not the mind; the mind uses the brain.
Although many materialists try to deny the existence of consciousness, they have major problems with evidence for it (including how it supposedly evolved). The concept of panpsychism (everything has some sort of consciousness) is not exactly welcome, but evidence for memory in kidney cells seems to fit.
Indeed, there is a possibility that other cell types also show a kind of memory. This smacks of pagan pantheism (but then, evolution itself is a pagan belief). However, memories outside of the brain and in cells actually point to something higher: The Master Engineer is showing his amazing skill at design work, and humans are beginning to see this aspect of it as well.
