Absolutely amazing insights! In our family makeup, 8 children, it’s absolutely interesting to learn about the differences between us; those whom are low reactionary and high reactionary, and most importantly more like our Mother or Father.

Of all siblings, my oldest brother and eldest sister, youngest brother and myself moreover similarities to our Mother (low reactionary), and other siblings moreover similar to our Father.

Interestingly the higher reaction siblings seemingly more boisterous back then and still are today, and they oft played together, whereas my fellow siblings who were most similar (low) played together, and still today when we’re all in our home state will quietly choose to sit and chat with one another and even plan separate activities… maybe it’s so we can get a chance to talk. 😂

Loving these sessions, and Chris is an absolute joy! 🙌🥳

Does anyone have the powerpoint that he used during these lectures???

[kashifahmed]

I am surprised by seeing that the lecture is uploaded around 8 years ago but the most comments are one two months older.

Are the top perspectives, Neuroscience, Evolutionary, etc., concrete ways of drawing conclusions or purely theoretical?

I agree 100% that we do not have to buy what worldly people that happen to be in the field of science are selling, theoretically. Mind you, for instance, evolution. It is only theory and definitely not fact. However, it is taught as fact, which is biased and wrong. It should be illegal and penalized for those who are practicing this in our educational fields. I am so proud of Professor Chris Grace for having the intelligence to know, because of such complex design that man was created. I'm not a scientist by, profession, but even I, and most people with common sense, comprehend that we did not derive from a form of monkeys or just, develop out of thin air. Scientifically, that is so illogical.
Father, God made me in His image. Who's your daddy?

[markko]

NO. Denying evolution is not OK. It is the basic of all science.
