Despite the fact that although our brains are capable of dealing with a colossal number of variables at once, our conscious attention is not. Most people cannot consider more than three variables at the same time without using a pencil. And this shows that, in many ways, the ‘scanning process’ of man’s conscious attention is very inadequate for dealing with the infinitely many variables and multi-dimensional processes of the natural universe. However, a serious attempt has been made and scientific naturalism issued in a fantastic fight with nature.
