Abstract
God designed your brain to fill in missing details on the fly...with some interesting consequences. Do your pets ever talk to you? Maybe you've seen one of those Internet videos where a dog says, "Hello." We know dogs don't really speak, despite what we think we hear. So what gives? God designed our minds to make quick assumptions about what's going on around us, without consciously studying it. By "filling in" information ahead of time, based on previous experiences and what we expect, our brains don't have to constantly process every changing detail in our surroundings. This allows us to respond to important changes speedily and accurately.
