And we Know scientists are never Wrong.

I cant see it, I can't smell it... I can't hold it in my hands, I cant hear it from the articulated tongue...I can't prove it exists, Yet I believe it exists...

I'm talking about love.

Fortunately we have scientists in this world just for that reason

Love is an *emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.

Emotion is the complex psychophysiological experience of an individual's state of mind as interacting with biochemical (internal) and environmental (external) influences.

In philosophical context, love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection.

Recent studies in neuroscience have indicated that as people fall in love, the brain consistently releases a certain set of chemicals, including pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which act in a manner similar to amphetamines, stimulating the brain's pleasure center and leading to side effects such as increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and an intense feeling of excitement.

I saw this on the Discovery Channel a while back.

ETU , I believe that what you have described are physical filters, driven by chemical reactions and responses to the stimuli around us... But I have sensed forces that my filters can't capture with any real clarity... Perhaps its just the energy of the sun or that of a million supernovas.... My wiring can't stand up to it, nor can it ignore it... Whatever it is, I'm afraid science can't come close to explaining it

Whatever it is, I'm afraid science can't come close to explaining it

. . . Yet!

I agree with you Paperdog. There's an entire aspect to our experience that just can't be explained through observation and "scientific" research. Notions like freedom, love and intent are all foreign concepts to that world (natural law science) of thinking.

Ever see Penn's video on proselytizing?
