    the case when gelatin come from then? Gelatin is made of collagen. And where does collagen come, not when it hides? Most industrially produced collagen in gelatin is composed of connective tissue. Ie, skin, tendons, cartilage. In fact, collagen is found all through most animal bodies, between muscles and muscle cells. But all in all, the skin, the best source for commercially viable isAmounts of collagen and the gelatin you buy in packets is mainly pig skin - with maybe a few bits of cartilage sorted thrown - a great after-dinner conversation topic! If all this sounds too gross for you to read further, remember, it's "just" pieces of animals.

    "Gelatin is just a processed version of a structural protein called collagen that is found in many animals, including humans. Collagen actually makes up almost a third of all the protein in the human body. It is a big, fibrous molecule that makes skin, bones, and tendons both strong and somewhat elastic." OMG I never knew that.. WTH. And I've been absentmindedly enjoying it when I was younger. Thank goodness I decided to research what I eat now.. If I found out afterward, I was definitely gag.

  • These days, some Darwin skeptics are focusing on the human brain. They say a higher power must be involved; otherwise, how could a bunch of cells produce such complicated mental processes as consciousness or subjective experiences? How could something like free will be the result of evolution?

      Here, a great problem concerning the mind has brought great debate. Questions about the human mind and its capacity has overwhelmed humanity for many years. Yet, there is still no answer. Many theories attepmt to take a view on the issue but they are too ofeten criticized with things that are still unexplainable.
  • "If you change the brain, you change the mind. If you damage the brain, you damage the mind. If you turn off the brain, you turn off the mind," he says."And now with more sophisticated tools, when we're looking at brain function with functional MRI, for example, we can see that brain activity precedes mental activities — and that makes sense, because causes come before their effects."

      The fact that brain activity comes before mental activity is a very interesting evidence that our rationale is the effect of nerves and cells and thus provide an insight to the physical quality of conciousness rather than just assuming that consciousness is separate from our physical body as if the body were to be possesed by a conscious soul.
  • "I'm a neurosurgeon. I realize how closely the mind and the brain are related," Egnor says. "But the question is, is there something else, in addition to the material properties of the brain, that we need to invoke to have an adequate explanation for the mind? And I think there is."Egnor says that an intelligent designer was involved in producing not only the brain but all living things and certain features of the universe. Without this designer, the brain would be just a meat computer made up of brain cells, he says."There is nothing about neurons that scientifically would lead you to infer consciousness from them. They're masses of gelatinous carbon and hydrogen and nitrogen and oxygen, just like other kinds of flesh. And why would flesh have first-person experience? So, even logically, it doesn't hang together."

      Here is the argument for creationism, a way to push the question to a supreme being as the only explanation of something we are ignorant of. I do not mean to say that it is wrong; in fact it "might" be true, but this answer is as good as a simple "I don't know." There was a lecture on psychology I saw and it says that the idea of creationism is just "unsatisfying and unhelpful" which means a lot when we're trying to find a solution that can really help us understand the workings of our mind.
