Think of those mechanistic responses that have evolved and are innate in our neural framework that reach far far back to more primal experience , written into the codes that form the hardwiring of our brains ...from long ago .

Have you ever come close to falling off a ladder or something almost fall on you startling out of the corner of your eye from up above ? Or been in a near accident and instinctively thrown out your arms & hands to try & cushion the blow of impending collision ?

That sense of hair raising on back of neck when something seems present out there in the dark or some intruder in an empty house and those emotions of fear & panic that flood the system . Or the rage that can follow when someone sideswipes your car on the road who swerved over & cut you off ? Or what a mother must feel when she turns around to find that her child is gone and she goes into panic mode ?

This is Nature my friend , you don't need to get into advanced micro biology but common sense intuitively informs you these responses arose out of millions of years of repeated experience in the environment . Trying to disprove these universal responses with microbiology is overreaching and trying to say somehow these were all "heaven sent" when they rose out of nature is the more plausible approach .
