Memory and understanding 'Memorising key events and experiences in life and being able to recall them with ease', expanded: The human brain is unique in its ability to memorise and appreciate the significance of events that have taken place in the past. How important is this? We contend that it is one of the attributes that distinguishes us from other created kinds and makes most, if not all, of the other listed talents possible. Without memory recall we would be unable to learn from our experiences. Education would not be possible. We would be unable to reliably undertake even the simplest of tasks, or to improve our performance over time. Clearly other creatures are able to assimilate behaviours that enable them to survive and prosper. They become experts at what they are designed to do, but intellectual pursuits are not their forte. Human beings are indeed a special creation. Memory isn't just about learning and honing new skills however, it is also crucially about remembering joyful events in the past such as meeting up with friends, key events connected with the family such as the birth of family members, the development of children from toddlers to adults, family holidays, etc. We derive great pleasure in recalling these kinds of events from the past, without them life would be a pale imitation of what we know it to be. It is sad to think that when we eventually die our treasured memories are lost, but are they? I wish we could answer this unfathomable question with the response, no, they are not lost but stored for the day when/if we receive new life after death. We have to die then we will discover the true nature of the afterlife. We can of course take steps to help preserve our precious memories by photographing and recording video of events as they occur. These can be passed on to future generations, or help jog memories while we are still alive. Does any of this strengthen the case for Creationism? The answer is a definite, YES. Our intellect could not have derived from uncontrolled random processes operating over long ages as Darwin suggested, and atheists have adopted in order to eliminate God. Update on Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution: Extract from a new book published in 2024: "Darwin's Bluff, the mystery of the book Darwin never finished" by author Robert Frederick Shedinger, American Professor of Religion at Luther College, throws new light on Darwin and his Theory of Evolution: Tucked away in Charles Darwin's surviving papers is a manuscript of almost 300,000 words that he never completed. It was his sequel to 'The Origin of Species'. It was the book he had promised would finally supply solid empirical evidence for the creative power of natural selection, evidence he admitted was absent from The Origin, which he repeatedly described as a "mere abstract". The fact that this was never made public is proof that Darwin came to doubt what he had written years before in his celebrated 'Origin of Species'. In this fascinating piece of historical detective work, Robert Shedinger draws on Darwin's letters, private notebooks, and the unfinished manuscript itself to piece together the puzzle and reveal an embarrassing truth: Darwin never finished his sequel because in the end he could not deliver the promised goods. His book, begun in earnest, devolved into a bluff. Definition of abstract: 'existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence'. So Darwin himself regarded his theory as merely an idea which could only be relied upon to explain how life emerged if supporting evidence could be found. He was clearly unable to find the required evidence and abandoned the sequel that would have enabled him to complete the work he originally set out to do, namely to provide proof that life emerged via evolution over long ages, announcing it to the scientific community, and to the public at large. Sadly, atheist leaning scientists decided to ignore Darwin's doubt and pretend the evidence (microbes to man transitional forms) existed when to this day no credible evidence has been found to support Darwin's 'Tree of Life'. It never will be found because science, especially molecular biology, has proved his theory explaining the origin of species is just plain wrong. No transitional forms have been found linking different 'Biblical Kinds' or baramins. For more information on this issue:  The Biblical Kind

All can replicate themselves with seeming ease, an act far beyond even the most complex human artifact. Some can even reconstruct themselves completely from tiny fractions cut surgically from the cell!
