  4. Please explain what you are talking about when you say “god.” perhaps i can
    better respond if u define what you are talking about. I was under the
    impression you were talking about the one in the “holy books.” Please
    respond. This could be an interesting discussion. thanks

  5. because the evidence is shoddy. …i’m sure that u don’t understand
    “quantumn nonlocality, quantum entanglement, or counterfactual
    definitiemess ” either..

  6. Children have a genetic learning process, where there brain is genetically
    told to grow, adults obviously don’t have this. so children do learn alot
    more easily then adults. its just the things children have to learn an
    adult would take for granted, like how to walk and fine motor movements,
    and a million other things.

  7. Great stuff ! In keeping with the idea of neuroplasticity, it is important
    to note that this is all subject to change. I find it very sad that
    science, which is supposed to question everything often becomes politically
    minded. Even religious in that it develops ideas and holds on to those
    ideas as though they were finite. The universe is infinite……….
    Western science is beginning to understand what the east has known for
    thousands of years.

  8. Humans comparing their brains to work like a machine only to realize the
    human brain doesn’t work like a machine. I found that idea funny.

  9. “…and the issue than becomes what is its attributes” Indeed. And you call
    this prime initiator “God” only because it must be supernatural? According
    to Lawrence Krauss quatum mechanics allows the spontaneous creation of the
    universe from empty space. I can’t see myself praying to a quantum
    fluctuation.

  10. He’s entirely accurate on that. The child’s brain is like putty. That’s why
    it is 10x easier to learn a new language as a child. For the longest time
    neurosurgeons denied that the adult brain could even alter neurons and
    synapses. Only recently have the old school thinkers conceded that
    neuroplasticity occurs in adults at all!

  11. Wow this is exciting and amazing. Our inbuilt ability for transformqtion
    seems so aligned to our innate freedom to choose. Gods wisdom proven true
    and reliable.
