Scientists studied the brain of a fruit fly. It is smaller than a pinhead, yet has around 130,000cells and 50 million connectors!
Can argue all say about how life started but the fact life can exist in such a way is a miracle in itself
 
I’m just astonished that a fruit fly is smaller than a pin head!! Really??

Wow! I need to go educate myself because what I obviously thought was a fruit fly actually isn’t 🤔

It's god's creation.....

Perfection.
 
Google tells me there are 600 trillion synaptic connections in a human brain…and that’s a decrepit / mature one….its up to one quadrillion in a young kid, ie a thousand trillion, or a thousand million million.

Which is quite a lot.
 
Aye I sort of thought that but wasn't sure. 🤔

I'm sure Billy will have a pun soon though.

The human genome and your DNA..give it away.
 
Given the billions or at least 100s of millions of years and multi trillions of life forms that ever existed and were the natural lab where this life thing developed...

...what took us so fkn long? 🙂

Standing on the shoulders of giants, you don't appreciate the spadework.

You'd think he would've made it a bit simpler eh?
Less chance of mutations, disease etc. Hardly perfection. If only there was a word to describe the evolution of simple single celled organisms to the complexity we see today....oh wait 🤔
