how many connections are crammed inside your brain. 2
Every one of these countless and interlinked connections in the
brain, an organ so small it fits into the human skull, has been cre-
ated in exactly the form required and for a specific purpose. Thanks
to these connections, the result of the superior design in God's cre-
ation, we are able to perform various functions at the same time
with no confusion arising. For example, you can listen to music at
the same time as reading these words, while also sipping a cup of
coffee. At the same time, moreover, your brain regulates you heart-
beat, allows you to breathe by carefully keeping the oxygen levels
in your blood at a fixed rate, regulates your body temperature, cal-
culates which of your muscles in your hand need to contract, and
by how much, in order for you to lift your cup to your lips without
spilling it, and also performs detailed calculations necessary for
your sense of balance to allow you to remain on your feet, and it
does all this without your being aware of it. Hundreds of different
functions like these are carried out by the brain in the most perfect
manner throughout our lives. Yet, we are quite unaware of all these
calculations going on in it.
An article called "Computing from the Brain," in New Scientist
magazine, drew the following analogy regarding the brain's ex-
traordinary performance capability:
In crude terms, the human brain is a natural computer composed
of 10 to 100 billion neurons, each of which connects to about 10,000
others, and all of which function in parallel. …Neuronal systems
take about 100 processing steps to perform a complex task of vision
or speech which would take an electronic computer billions of pro-
cessing steps. 3
As we have seen, the human brain possesses far superior fea-
tures to computers produced by the most highly advanced technol-
ogy. Yet, for some reason evolutionists, who accept that computers
could never come about by the chance combination of such sub-
stances as silicon, wire, and glass, refuse to accept that the human
