Neurons

Why can we understand nature? Why are we able to comprehend the universe? We think we are, but how come evolution provided us with such a tool? And why? Is it just a blind chance that we have it? Did evolution keep it for some reason? What is this ability for?

It looks like this is a real question since just to adapt to the environment, such a tool might not be required. The tool that I am speaking of is being capable of asking and answering questions. And this problem does not even relate to consciousness. Consciousness can be without mathematical and other abilities, which are needed for deep comprehension. Why are we capable of asking and understanding?

And why are we capable of asking the question: does God exists? Is this capability evidence of the existence of God? And is it the evidence that God created us?

Is there a limit to our understanding? Are we capable of understanding anything, which exists in the universe? Or is there a limit to where our brain with the hundred billion neurons can go and no further? Our brain is limited at least physically. Knowledge is communal but still must be physically limited. Is our limit is inside or outside of the border of full knowledge, of full understanding?

We cannot see a theoretical limit to our understanding. We are not capable of visualizing space in four dimensions because we do not have the physical experience of it, but we are still capable of comprehending what it is and how the N dimension would look like. We are capable of understanding what a long mathematical equation means, and not just understand it, but find it and prove whether it is valid as well. Where are our limits? Do we have a limit? And are we capable of understanding God's existence as well then?

If our knowledge has no limits, then we are capable of answering this question. Are we? And even if we cannot answer this question, does it mean anything that we are capable of having this question?

Our universe is really an anthropic universe!
