The secret of human mind.

As technology gives us more sophisticated means to acquire knowledge, much attention is focused on studying the human brain. Science wonders why the human brain is far superior to the brains of animals? This article shows why science can not find the answer.

Why the human mind is so superior, the brain of the animal? The fierce debate rages about the human spirit. Some scientists say the debate was over, but it seems that each new decade brings a different theory. The human effort invested to learn the secret of the human mind is almost immeasurable.

The question is as old as human history. Western philosophers have been writing and talking about the human mind since the 18 Century. Modern psychology and its various branches have been until the birth of the search will discover the human spirit. From the mid 20th Century and are now millions of dollars for scientific research to address this seemingly intractable issue. Astronomers biologists, geneticists and even mathematicians have entered the fray. And for all that there is still no answer that satisfies. The question remains unanswered. Why not unlock the mystery science of the human mind?

More Knowledge

We are not saying that the struggle for the human mind has not borne fruit to understand. Scientific research has added to our store of knowledge about the human brain. Science knows that it is incredible from a design.

technology challenge to build humanoid robots and software engineers has shown that the functions of the obvious measures of the human brain are almost impossible to copy. It's a relatively simple technique to build a robot that works on the assembly line. It has been proven that robots successfully paint cars and do other routine tasks. Some robots are also very sophisticated surgical procedures on the human body. However, there is an overwhelming task to build a robot with a humanlike brain. It is amazing to encounter significant problems in order to give a robot the ability to see as man sees, hears what a person hears or common sense of people use every day have. While science fiction would have us believe that it is possible for us in new robots like Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, experts know that it is highly unlikely, we have data in the 21st first century.

Steven Pinker, a psychology professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wrote several popular books discuss recent studies on the human brain. In his national bestseller How the Mind Works, he writes, "The reason there are no humanoid robots is not that the idea of a mechanical mind is a mistake. It is that the technical problems to solve, we the people we were going to see and plan and make it through the day are much more difficult than landing on the moon or sequencing the human genome. "People living room and navigate around furniture without thinking. It is automatic. Our brain gives us the ability. But it is a great piece of advanced mechanical and computer software, build a robot to make such maneuvers.

Pinker continues, "No database could know all the facts we tacitly list, and nobody taught them to us." Brain scientists have known that billions of bits of information we unconsciously give call every day to live and survive. But nobody taught them to us, we think only they know. Why? He is the man to know, then. For example, if our cat is on the farm, we know that is not in the house. If we in the supermarket and buy a liter of milk, then in the car at home, we can hire an assistant for a liter of milk from the car. In general, our help would not even matter to our request. Objective, the car and get a quart of milk would be a simple task. It is not easy to use program a robot cats, yards, houses, or know how to get a liter of milk from a car.

Of course, if our brain is damaged by accident or stroke, so we often lose these abilities so generously gave us. In fact, many come to our knowledge of the human brain through the study of such disasters. Stroke often affects our ability to walk, see, hear or speak. Head injury often destroys our memories.

Unexplained Paradox

To gain a better understanding of the human brain, the researchers studied the brains of animals as well. But instead of actually learn more about the human brain, science has taken a swamp of uncertainty. Neuroscientists have found that there was no significant difference in violence when the human brain is compared to the brain of the animal.

Pinker admits this fact. "Neuroscientists stressed that all parts of the cortex quite the same, not only the different parts of the human brain to go, but the brain of different animals." In other words, if we break the skull of a human or an animal, we see roughly the same material. Of course, there are some differences. The human brain is only slightly higher than that of a chimpanzee. But it is much smaller than the elephant in the brain. However, the output of the human brain think a lot both a chimpanzee and an elephant. The output of the human brain simply can not be considered because of the size, or more cells or improving the design. This is the conundrum that science is struggling.

There are certain brain functions that only man is not an animal can. Language is a prime example. Although animals communicate with sounds and movements that people can speak and write. Only individuals can have a wealth of knowledge and teaching it to future generations. Animals can not understand abstract concepts such as the highly developed system of mathematics or physics. Animals can not appreciate art, music or architecture.

Man can think, reason and make decisions. Animals as things to some extent both the instinct or repetitive training. For example, animals do not decide to visit a sick friend. But people can choose to use, share or cooperate. Similarly, a person may choose to be jealous or hateful. The animals have no choice. These functions are conferred exclusively on people and attitudes.

To date, no scientist to explain the situation, why the human brain gives us the functions of the mind that we have so obvious. Of course, scientists want to convince us they know, but the truth is they do not know.

Pinker states early in his book "I'll try to explain what is the mind where it comes from and how it allows us to see, think, feel, communicate and prosecute appeals as art, religion and philosophy. On the way, I'll try to shed light on typical human oddities. "The most important word in both sentences is to try it on! The author uses it twice and passes near 600 pages to go. But all his arguments do not explain why the human mind is so different. It explains how the human mind is different, but never why! Here's why it can not.

Evolution vs.. God

The scientists, with few exceptions, do not even consider the likelihood of a non-physical human brain. Scientists can not explain the human mind, because they do not admit that something other than the physical exists. The latest research on the human brain is observed, what we can see, or experimentation. Current research on the human brain, that cognitive science has limited evolutionary biology and genetics. Man is reduced to a single cause.

Mr. Pinker is one of the leading cognitive science. He gives his readers: "I would like to convince you that our minds are not animated by some godly vapor ...'' It clearly indicates that the time of advanced scientific research, we have." Victims of an illusion: that our psychology comes from a divine force or mysterious essence or almighty principle "His answer to why the human mind as it is, as you will be surprised." L The mind is a system of organs of computation designed by natural selection nature of the solution to the problems of our ancestors, in their way of life power, in particular, understanding and outmaneuvering objects, animals, plants and others. ... The spirit is in modules or mental organs, each organized with a special design .... The basic logic modules is specified by our genetic program. "In other words, the Man is physical, and his thoughts, even feelings, like love, anger, joy and frustration can be explained only by biology or genetics.

Is not it amazing that on one hand, it can recognize that the human spirit is absolutely fantastic, an instrument of incredible design even on the other hand, he notes that a blind process of natural selection has reached it? Why can such a brilliant thinker admit that God has something to do with the design of the human mind?

The brightest minds in science are the victims of the illusion known as evolution. The theory of evolution, the explanation of a creation without a creator, the limits of science. Belief in evolution is a belief that the human mind blind to the truth that God alone to reveal.

No matter how detailed the investigation, science never come to understand the human mind, because it does not recognize God as Creator.
