A outlandish theory to chew on is just what the Corona Dr. ordered for our stay at home hours. You don't have to read the whole thing but instead listen to a couple of intelligent and skeptical people discuss it on You Tube.

McKenna posited that psilocybin caused the primitive brains information-processing capabilities to rapidly reorganize, which in turn kick-started the rapid evolution of cognition that led to the early art, language, and technology written in Homo sapiens archeological record.And then, suddenly, Pink Floyd lyrics started making sense.

If a stoner put it in his book in 1992 it must be true.
Repeating it on the Internet makes it truer.

This reminds me of the line that no one really knows who originally said it: The tragedy of atheists is not that they don’t believe in God, but that they will believe in anything.

What pig swill! Chimps’ brains,when corrected for body size,are about the largest found in any creature.And opposable thumbs helped as well.

So I guess in a way that proves that Genesis was right.
We really did gain our knowledge of good and evil by consuming a forbidden fruit growing from the tree of life. Euphemisms for sure, but something that still describes gaining consciousness by eating psychedelic mushrooms growing out of compost.

“As early humans, he said we ate our way to higher consciousness by consuming these mushrooms”
Close, but it was the consumption of MEAT that allowed human brains to develop.
And for those who know any vegetarians or vegans, you can CLEARLY see that the process is reversible.

Or Genesis 1-2 is true. Seeing as we can't go back into time, all you have to do is disprove the RESURRECTION as an actual historical event.
If you can't, acceptance of the creation account become easy accept. And marvelously so.
Good luck with that.

I wonder why the rest of the animals eating "magic mushrooms" didn't develop consciousness, since they had so much more time to do it?
