The most recent work using positron emission tomography shows that the regions of the brain that elicit emotions such as love, can be identified clearly in PET scans"<br /><br />But you know already how PM will play this? He'll say that love wasn't really seen only its effects. These are games he plauys all the time using false equivalencies to argue that well, if you can't see love you also can't see God so why believe in either?<br /><br />He misses the point that what we call 'love' is actually a hormonal response that is triggered from the brain. You can't see it directly because it doesn't exist as a separate entity in reality but in association with brain chemistry, neural pathways, electgric impulses. Take those substrates away, and there is no such thing.<br /><br />That's why we call love a contingent existent: to exist it is contingent on physical organs, chemistry in the body. <br /><br />God is supposed to be a non-contingent existent, depending on nothing else to exist so there is a higher threshold of proof which he hasn't met up to now.<br /><br />But he won't stop using these tricks to try to make his absurd arguments.<br /><br />Btw, great defense of Caleb's answers overall! <br /><br />No one should answer any more of his questions until he not only answers the ones you put up but also takes that basic evoolution and passes it with at least 70%. He certainly doesn't know what natural selection or micro-evolution is!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11864292327259837089noreply@blogger.com
