Richard Dawkins: Strange Science

He poses the question, "if the universe is queerer that we can suppose, is it just because we've been naturally selected to suppose only what we needed to suppose to survive, or are our brains so versatile and expandable that we can train ourselves to break out of the box of our evolution, or finally are there some things in the universe to queer that no philosophy of beings however god like could dream them." He concludes his video with this quote, which to me made the whole movie. I think many people would take one one of these sides to agree with. On the other hand i tend to agree with each one in particular. I think that we were created to only understand certain aspects of life so that we can survive. You dont need to know the exact ingredients of the food you eat or how to rebuild an engine to drive, life is simplified so that us dumb humans can live. I also agree that we were created with very versatile creative and imaginative minds in that we can think out of the box. Also i agree that we will never be able to understand many ideas about the the universe. Each question Dawkins poses, in their own way, is correct.
