Parable Thirty One - Parables of Steel by Robert Dean Steel
It has been said we only use about five percent of our brain. This most biblical scholars believe is because of the fall. When man choose disobedience over the obedience to God. Here is what we do know about our brain. The human brain is the most complex and least understood part of the human anatomy. There may be a lot we don’t know, but here are a few interesting facts.
Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour. Ever wonder how you can react so fast to things round you or why that stubbed toe hurts right away? It’s due to the super-speedy movement of nerve impulses from your brain to the rest of your body and vice versa, bringing reactions at the speed of a high powered luxury sports car.
The brain operates on the same amount of power as 10-watt light bulb. Your brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb even when you’re sleeping.
The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. Or any other encyclopedia for that matter. Scientists have yet to settle on a definitive amount, but the storage capacity of the brain in electronic terms is thought to be between 3 or even 1,000 terabytes. The National Archives of Britain, containing over 900 years of history, only takes up 70 terabytes, making your brain’s memory power pretty impressive.
Your brain uses 20% of the oxygen that enters your bloodstream. The brain only makes up about 2% of our body mass, yet consumes more oxygen than any other organ in the body, making it extremely susceptible to damage related to oxygen deprivation. So breathe deep to keep your brain happy and swimming in oxygenated cells.
God has given you a mind to sort out truth. Here is one truth. Jesus is the way the truth and the life and no one can come to the Father but by Him. Use your brain and mind to make a decision to serve the Lord. A wise man will make the right decision.
