            sign in the brain in an interview carried on a website and titled “Brain
            Teaches Computers A Lesson.” Bernstein also states that it is impossible
            to replicate the brain’s functioning exactly:

                 That makes it [the brain] exponentially more efficient than the fastest com-
                 puter. The reason is because of something that we can’t do in electronics.
                 It’s this notion of massive parallelism. Meaning one bit of data can spread
                 to 100,000 other neurons.  76
                 In short, Bernstein says, it is impossible to electrically imitate the
            brain. Michael Denton, the molecular biologist known for his works
            demonstrating the invalidity of the theory of evolution, says that even
            using the most complex technology, it would take the best engineers for-
            ever, to design an object even slightly resembling the brain. 77
                 Besides its superior design, the brain also comprises of a system
            that provides for efficient operation. Martin S. Banks, a professor of op-
            tometry (the measurement of visual impairments) and psychology at
            California (Berkeley) University, says the following about its efficient
                                              functioning:

                                              The brain is efficient in that it doesn’t
                                              waste energy maintaining information
                                              that it will not likely need in real life. 78

                                            We generally never consider what is going
                                            on in our heads. But even when we sit
                                            down to rest or go to sleep, the brain con-
                                            tinues its activities. Throughout the night, it
                                            continues to ensure our breathing, diges-
                                            tion, heartbeat and cell renewal.
