I am offering you a way to connect to a wonderful source of knowledge that you don't believe even exist. I am sorry for your shortsightedness. I already know that science can define a lot of things. But it lacks the ability to give you the courage to step into the unknown. Reality has no limits!
I think this is where you started your reply so I'll reply from here.
You are not offering me anything except your assertions based on your experience/beliefs. This is no way near good enough for me to accept as valid evidence for whatever god it is you worship.
It's an odd question you pose, "what are your values?" Values on what? There's a myriad of subjects and discussions that I have opinions about, so you'll need to clarify. Needless to say, despite what you are obviously inferring ('values' [undefined] come from a god, whatever that Is), I derive my views entirely from the context I am surrounded by, my education, my background, my friends and family.
Actually, reality does have limits. Think you can fly? Find a tall building and put your theory to the test! If you don't, I'm really sorry for your shortsightedness (by the way, really nice sleight of hand insult you've thrown in there simply becauase I reject your baseless assertions. How very Christian of you

I also get the impression you don't know what science is, as science by definition is the study of the unknown.

FALSE
The heart pumps blood around the body. 'Concepts of the heart' is a nonsensical idea and is rejected.

Emotions/physical states bought about by external stimuli and personal thresholds of tolerance that cause a given chemical reaction to occur within your brain. We can even physically see these emotions being produced through MRI scans. Yes, I understand them quite well, thanks.

Gobbledygook. They're not ideas?? I can't make heads nor tails of what you've just written

Concepts of the mind are not provable in a tangible way. They have to fit togeather in a logical way which brings you some useful conclusion. Don't dismiss all of this just because you do not understand what it all means. Ponder on some options and you will be surprised with what you find.
More word salad.
You know, you come across as disingenuous when you start throwing out meaningless horseshit like this when someone calls you on your baseless and thus far seemingly unverifiable assertions.
Like I said, when you start posting on a forum of skeptics things you've just made up, then insulting people by inferring that you're somehow more enlightened than them as a result, you really shouldn't be surprised when you're laughed at.
I fully expect more direct and indirect insults from you in response, when really if you on had even an ounce of intellectual integrity you'd respond either with verifiable evidence that you're correct or retract any notion that you're telling the truth.
When you joined this forum, did you have an agenda of a script that you were going to stick to? If not, I think you need to leave and come back when you've got your beliefs sorted. Seems like pineapple above me has done a pretty decent job of tearing some of your assertions apart by highlighting the numerous contradictions within them.
