Religion is a way to control mens actions. People who really practise the virtues of their religion have good morale. And tell me, what religion asked us to stop exploring our abilities? Sheesh.

The body is not a creation of God. This statement actually varies according to different theologies. Not concrete.

In conclusion, batuapi's argument is really lame. You'd trigger all those religious people who does their homework, mate. Very arguable, and you clearly never read anything on comparative religion before making this sensational statement.

The whole belief that 'we only use less than 10% of our brains olol if we use all we'll be genii' is a fallacy.

Does that mean that destroying the other 90% that isn't being used will have no consequences on our brain functions? Of course not. The entire brain is being used, just not all of it at the same time when doing a specific task.

Brain imaging research, often taken to be the proof of this non-scientific myth, clearly shows that they are no areas of the brains that are 'black holes', so to speak - ie. areas that never light up in response to some task. All the neurons that comprise the cortex are active to some degree all the time, even during sleep.

i still dont understand why ppl like 2 relate religion in any scientific question of so

if you can use ur brain power to the full
then u will feel others r just like brainless
haha

That is a retarded statement, what makes you think that?

He's retarded and you still asked him to think? That's insensitive! (sarcasm) I kid, don't cry.


Along similar lines to what linkinwayne stated, different parts of our brain performs different functions. If you mean we don't use our entire brain for rational thoughts, then that's true. And it is because we need it for other functions, such as breathing, emotions and motor functions.

That said, our understanding of the human brain is still extremely limited. It is only in recent times that research into the human brain has seen a spike. Hopefully more of our questions can be answered in the years to come.
