Instead of just relying on the advice of others, why not check them out for
yourself?

Since your pastor is not a scientist, and hasn't studied the matter for
himself, why should his opinion matter?

Again, you haven't produced any evidence for the "small fraction" claim, and
the evidence for full usage comes from actual scientists who have studied
the brain using PET, and MRI scans. I already provided you with links to
that evidence. If you missed it, here's some more:

Note also you were wrong about Archeopteryx being a Hoazin, there being only
one Archae fossil, and nearly every other scientific claim you have made.
With that kind of batting average, don't you think it might be a good idea
to check out the claims, before making them?
