All ppl think they have the answer to something until their own science proves them wrong. Science is always discovering new things. If you'd ask a guy who lives by science if the heart had a brain a few years back, he'd say" NO..... I know this b.c of science" ...and now we know the heart has a brain!

The heart...has...a brain... As in, its own? Wha...?
Normally it takes a few posts on this site to break my brain. This one did it already, and I read it first. That's some serious stupid right there.
Well, according to Cox and Combes, George Washington had a brain for a heart - but also, according to them, the was twenty storeys tall and made out of radiation.
"Science is always discovering new things."
And fundieism has discovered nothing.
" If you'd ask a guy who lives by science if the heart had a brain a few years back, he'd say" NO..... I know this b.c of science""
If you're talking about the cardiac sinus, science knew about that at least as far back as 1950, while you fundies were still debating wether the earth was flat or not.
"All ppl think they have the answer to something until their own science proves them wrong. Science is always discovering new things."
Exactly. That is called "learning." I commend it to your attention.
later on we get the answer to where god came from...
1- everything with a beginning has a cause
they'll turn around and say what was the cause of God
smile and say 'everything with a beginning'
Hearts have no brains. Brains perform the functions that, in a not-so-distant past and in the Biblical times, were attributed to the heart(Egyptians the most notorious ones doing this). Ten points for science.
The only animal I'm aware of that is supposed to have had a second brain was Stegosaurus, who supposedly had a primitive cluster of nerves in it's posterior that did the basic job of a brain.
Or was that Purnimacresent?
The heart has a "brain" in the same sense that your computer's hard drive, sound and video cards have their own "brains" independent of the CPU. The heart has nerve bundles that perform certain autonomous functions. These things are scattered all over the body; not just in the heart. They are what allows a piano player to play clusters of notes far faster than a signal can propagate from the brain to the muscles. We've known about them for over a century.
No, no, no. You're confused. Your RECTUM appears to have a brain, but that's only because your head is up your butt. The heart and the brain are distinctly seperate.
This hurts my heart, I mean Brain, I think.
fundamentalists delenda est
lol,
Perhaps the term "ganglion" is appropriate.
WTF, laughing at purnimacresent's idiocy is also appropriate.
OK, ignoring the whole “heart has a brain”-stuff (but seriously, WTF?), I think we have a prime example of the problem most fundies (and woo-believers and conspiracy theorists and sadly most journalists and reporters) have with understanding science.
They simply don’t understand that if scientists present something as fact, the unspoken preamble is “As far as we know at this moment, this is the best explanation of the evidence we have right now.”
That way they do not understand that it is a good thing if someone discovers that something that was held as true before is now proven wrong. They think that it is a confession of failure instead of a declaration of progress.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
