> > 
> > dhw: [i]In fact, the erectus brain gradually expanded until it came very close to our size. Something triggered the final expansion to our size, and from then on, complexification has coped with all new needs, as it did with every other species until additional cells were required. Each expansion is a response to new needs; the additional cells are not the result of crystal-ball gazing and then hanging around for thousands of years, in our case waiting to invent railways and rockets! They are in constant use, and complexify as and when required to do so. Currently demonstrated by the examples of the illiterate women and taxi-drivers[/i].

> > dhw: And now you try to ignore your own agreement and all the above arguments by introducing a totally false representation of my approach. Back we go. Read the bold in my first statement: “[i]Don’t you think it would be less of a chore fo him if he just created a mechanism that would perform the same functions?[/i]” All my theories allow for God the designer – in this case, as you have agreed, he would have designed the mechanism for complexification (and of course I include enlargement). Please stop pretending that my theories are atheistic, even though you keep agreeing with them!
