I always thought it was interesting that your brain doesn't really process all that you see. It sort of "interpolates" a lot of stuff. That's why eyewitness testimony is suspect because you don't really "see" what is there most of the time - your brain thinks it knows what you're seeing and simply fills in the blanks with what it expects is really there.

There have been some very interesting experiments regarding this. I am reading an interesting book right now written by Carl Sagan - "Dragons of Eden". Basically a book on the evolution of human intelligence, etc. Very interesting.

You don't have to believe in a higher being to be simply blown away by the natural world around us. I often stand outside at night and just look up at the stars. Awesome.
