Chicken or egg?

What came first?

Eyes or large brain?

Or to put it more directly, did we see first and then get the big brain? Did we think first and then need the eyes?

What about? We see because we are stopped.

In the literature of the old Orthodox Church from the time when Christianity ruled in Syria and beyond, patriarchs and saints would talk of their dealings with angels. Or what they termed angels.

How about the thing they were interacting with had, and the English language wonderful though it is fails me here, “decelerated” into perception. Decelerated from supra light to let our new eyes see because our true minds had been stopped.

Are we trapped here?
