Not true, things can exist it's just impossible to confirm that they exist in the way we perceive them.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

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.


They suffer from a fear of having no point to existance. Hense their constant need to say there must be something else, we must be special etc.

Not enough kudos for your answer.
