Quote:So you don't find it in the least bit strange that these chemicals even exist?
Nope. We wouldn't function without them. We are just chemicals and atoms mate. Nothing more.
If we didn't function on chemicals, then we wouldn't be affected by drugs.
Quote:Would you call the love for your child a mere chemical reaction?
Pretty much. Without chemical reactions, I'd feel nothing.
Quote:Chemical reactions that celebrates life with care but is false by it not being real love.
No, love is real, it's just chemical based. Why do you have such a problem with that? You desire to be special or something? You're just a collection of chemicals and atoms. Get over it.

If there were no chemical reactions, you'd be dead.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
