How do scientists explain the evolution of the brain?
There isnt a universal consensus among scientists as to how the brain got here. There are a couple of different views on the subject. Creation scientists on the one hand believe that God made the brain. He conceived of it, He designed it and He built it, either from scratch or from preexisting raw materials. Since the nature and extent of Gods abilities remain largely unknown, creationists arent exactly sure how He did it. But they insist that the incredible level of complexity we see in the human brain cannot be explained by chance mutations and natural selection. It requires some sort of intelligent designer (i.e. God). Darwinists on the other hand believe that the brain evolved from a simpler organ slowly over time. Evolution in this context is the process by which biological innovations are introduced via random genetic mutations over time. If these innovations prove advantageous they are preserved and passed on to future generations via natural selection. Creatures which lack thes
