For some days the following question is bothering me. If the evolution
theory is right, then why the human brain evolved to about six times
as that of an orung-otung and yet human uses only about 5 percent of the
brain cells? If the other cells were not needed then why produce them? Does
any of you have an answer? I thought that may be since brain cells
do not multiply nature has provided us enough at a time to protect against
all the odd kinds of injuries. How many of you buy this argument? Another
question which bothers me and is related to the evolution theory is that
why the shape of an egg is so perfect even from the time of dynosorous?
This may sound a rather vague question but one would expect that to reduce
pain in laying eggs nature has discovered the shape, so to speak, by the trial
and error. May be someone a litle less dumb than me out there will be able
to shed some light on these questions.
