True. It's part of what is called the "Secular Trend" in human
growth, and it is caused by the generally rising Standard of Living
of the entire world. It has even shown up in rising world IQ
levels where it is called the Flynn Effect. BTW, it is NOT a
genetic effect, it's much too fast.
Of course Burgy, for those of us on the fast track, it is also
evident that the Secular Trend is the scientific explanation of
God. To put it briefly, as the brain grows slowly towards 100%
of it's theoretical size, "Heaven" slowly descends upon the World,
since our perception of reality itself is slowly moving towards
100% of theoretical reality also (the "Kingdom of God"). This is the
scientific explanation (and scientific proof BTW) of the existence
of God. But that's only for the fast track players. That will be
the next front cover story for Time Magazine; "Scientists Discover
Proof of God".
