I think that you will find that we use ONE TENTH (not 1%)of our brain in conscious acts simon and we have the capacity but not the ability to use more unless we develop the ability. However each generation seems to be that bit brighter than the previous one and also developing faster too. My newest granddaughter got her first two teeth at 8 months. This was unheard of 50 years ago, although it seems to be commonplace today. At one year she is walking unaided. OK! So it’s more of a stagger from support to support but kids in my day were considered forward if they were walking at 18 months. Look how tall kids are today compared to the average height 50 years ago.

Evolution isn’t just about need but also by accident of procreation. A tiny error in the coming together of parental genes can produce an offspring with an ability not evident in its siblings.

We cannot breath under water because we do not need to. We live on the land and have done for millions of years.

Noah was commanded to build a boat 300 cubits long. As I understand it a cubit was the equivalent of 18 inches. So the Ark would be 450 feet in length. Clean animals were boarded in groups of 7 and unclean animals in groups of 2. Now how much room would 7 elephants take? Not forgetting all the other larger animals. Then there is the feed for those animals for a minimum of 40 days. Sorry but the figures just don’t add up.

However some interpretations of a cubit put it at 45 inches but an Ark 1,125 feet long would still have a problem with tens of thousands of animals and their food. Don’t forget the waste product as well. How many people would be needed to tend to those animals?
