I believe the frontal lobes of sapiens (which did not suddenly appear out of the blue but evolved gradually) will continue to be used in new ways so long as sapiens survives. And I must repeat that I do not believe your God inserted them into a few pre-sapiens heads thousands of years before they were needed.

> > dhw: The usual dodge of answering a question with a question. This website grew out of my typically human sense of curiosity. I want to know (even if I can’t) how we got here, what is the origin of consciousness, is there a God, and if there is, what might he be like? And so I look at what we do know, and I try to form some kind of explanatory pattern out of it. You have helped enormously in expanding my actual knowledge, but I find some of your conclusions extremely unconvincing, and I look for alternatives. Hence our discussions concerning the intelligent cell theory. I couldn’t care less whether you think this means a weaker or stronger God. The question is whether it might explain some of the mysteries of evolution. Would you now please answer my own bolded question.
