Quote:however, some AVP is also released directly into the brain, where it plays an important role in social behavior and bonding.
It's not the only chemical that plays a role.
Now, Andy. I'm ending this debate before I end up sending my fist through the monitor!
*Chucks brick at, Andy*
So that’s it, explained! You should write a book! The complexity of emotions by Ace 101!
I'm very aware of Dopamine and other chemicals actually
Dopamine (sometimes abbreviated DA) is a catecholamine neurotransmitter present in a wide variety of animals, including both vertebrates and invertebrates
Science is a great passion of many I know! But they are not even close to understanding the human body!
The understanding of emotions from a “science” prospective is hundreds of years away!
So why is it if so simple as just chemicals why don't you take a chill pill!
Why can’t we just inject a drug into all people to stop the crisis we are faced with on the earth, stop war, poverty, love for the earth, actually if science could come up with a drug for that we could reverse all the damage we doing instantly!
Let me tell you about what your science view brain can't yet understand and far more complex for any instruments yet to be made to measure test and verify!
If you don't believe they exist you could verify it for yourself, get a chakra healing and see how you feel or get a pangolin rrp$20
If your going to rely on what others tell you is true by a piece of paper with "data" your being left behind!
MANY people have the ability to see, heal chakras!
Science does not have the instruments to measure such things yet, but have been known to exist by many cultures for thousands of years!

Should we call that drug Prozium? Dude, that movie is a cult classic.
"Librians, there is a disease in the heart of man. Its symptom is hate. Its symptom is anger. Its symptom is rage. Its symptom is war. The disease is human emotion. But Libria, I congratulate you, for there is a cure for this disease. At the cost of the dizzying highs of human emotion, we have suppressed its abysmal lows. And you, as a society, have embraced this cure: Prozium. Now we are at peace with ourselves and human kind is one. War is gone. Hate, a memory. We are our own conscience now, and it is this conscience that guides us to rate EC-10 for emotional content, all those things that might tempt us to feel again and destroy them. Librians, you have won. Against all odds and your own natures. You have survived."

I can't reply to this nut. So this will have to suffice.....
Have fun arguing with yourself.
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.

I was a bit curious as to what his definition of the soul was and here's the quote-
Quote:What is the Soul?
One secret to understanding God’s Universe is to understand the human soul The soul is NOT your physical body, nor your spiritual body (although many think differently)
The soul is the living, feeling, emotional, desiring, intentional, passionate heart of your true self The soul has sensory apparatus, passion, desire, emotion, feelings, aspirations, intentions, free will,
memory, personality, instinct, natural love, energy, appendages of the spirit body & physical body
Think of the soul as a container; an entity; full of experiences
Notice how he says the soul is not your physical body and then goes on to give it attributes we know require the physical body and are determined by brain structure and function. Please do not waste our time with any more incoherent, babbling drivel.

just need to clear that up!
Complete rubbish. The soul is an ancient interpretation of what we now know is completely physical. The idea that the physical body is an appendage of the soul is just...well, silly.
1) A lot of people feel that the soul isn't just an abstract concept, Christians aren't alone in this. What excatly is known as completely physical?
2) Support your materialist view of the mind-brain concept if you can with definition and support please.
It is difficult to conceptualize if one has not yet experienced the spirit world! As the earth plane we are on it is very limited!
As a spirit our sensory apparatuses actually increase, Sight, Smell, Touch (hot, cold) Textures, Emotions, Hearing plus more that I feel unqualified to comment! Most spirits say they actually feel more real than on earth! In every sense, literally!
Yet the soul is still apart from spirit but connected! The soul has substance; it is an object, physical although still unseen by spirit, untouchable, infinite and immortal! It encompasses your body! It is the real you, it is located in the 22th dimension! Emotions from the soul have substance too, that’s why we can feel them, some pleasure some pain, that’s why if you get embarrassed you may feel hot or Shake in fear! You experience emotions from the soul through the chakra points in the body. A lot is known on earth about the chakras because in spirit you can see them, mataphisics! In spirit all emotion can be seen! Anger hate and fear grief are dark and greyish like substance, that’s what makes us sick, disease, cancer heart attacks ect Love compassion ect are bright colours, more love more colour and brighter! The soul in the greatest of all creations in the universe! The potential power of the soul is unimaginable; power depends only on the amount of love with in it!
You could look at the earth plane as we are in preschool; our Soul is still baby in a sense! And so it is very basic in comparison to the spirit world!
Your intended life, really just begins when you progress to the 22nd sphere. You are soul only; we no longer need a spirit body to experience Life! Soul re-joins with the other half of itself! Graduation PHD in Love
Hope that can help you understand
There is also over 400 hours of free MP3 downloads avalible if you want to know more
My dad told me once about "22th dimension", I love to learn more about it, please send me the link to download the MP3. Thank you. I do understand what your mean my soul is not my physical body. I know I am here in this life to learn lessons, which mean that I am using my spirit body as the tool to experience Life. Nothing is real, and nothing really matter.
