    Prove that love doesn't exist.

    I'll prove it does..



    Oh, and yeah.. I know I'm hated for trying to start a study thread.

    It's cool, that's what love's all about. I still love ya.

    Haters welcome.

    j/k - lol

    You are all welcome, not just the haters. wink






    Anyone like to disprove my claim?

    LOVE is real and beyond science's grasp.



    Good luck with that...

      Can you prove that some who crittersize your thread actually love you and do not hate you?

      If you are able to do that then you need not prove no other thing.

        Not sure I follow exactly.

        They may not love me. [pretty sure I know a few who have told me verbatim]

        You mean prove that one who was pursuing 'tough love' toward me and trying to help indeed loves me?

        I don't really see how that proves or disproves Love itself. Sincerely.

          When a man learns that those who speaks for him are more detrimental to him rather than those who speaks against him.
          While neither of the two are really his enemy.
          This man is able discover the true nature of love.

        I claimed it. Not explained it. The concept is already well driven into reality and humanity.

        I asked if you could disprove it's existence in light of it's escaping science's grasp.

        This is why you 'chuckling' over a law I did not write doesn't bother me a wink. That is scientists before me that wrote that. And the world collective of scientists accepted it as a Law.

        And I still love ya even though your trying really hard to make me look bad..

      Is there "proof?" No, but there's plenty of evidence. It's not beyond science's grasp. Sure, you can't do a blood test to show you love someone (chemical changes in the loving brain notwithstanding), but there is plenty of evidence people love each other.

      I know I sound like a broken record to you, but until you understand, the same lesson has to be presented to you over and over again.

      If love is real, but beyond science's grasp, YOU NEED TO PROVE THAT!

      Yes, you need to, somehow, prove to us that LOVE is real, and, then you need to prove how it is beyond science's grasp.  And, somehow, you need to use a medium other than science to prove this. Why? Because it is beyond science's grasp.

      Good Luck! smile

        No. I need not. That is well established.

        Science has never yet explained reasoning or cause for selflessness.

        Sacrifice is well observed daily, where have you been?

        Also, I didn't say logic and reasoning cannot provide answers. I mean specifically, atheistic modelled approach of physical elements and the physical approach of explanation will not provide the answer. That is what they call science.

        Love is not physical. Nor is everything that exists physical.

          Sorry Vector, but you are either wrong or uneducated.   Love and every other emotion is a series of chemical reactions in the brain and subsequent neuron firings. Feelings of good will and love can be reproduced in a lab.  Serotonin is a key element in this emotion.  Soon all will be reproducible in the same fashion.

          Selfishness and compassion are direct Darwinian processes arising from evolution.  Selfishness is self preservation and survival, favoring your bloodlines over all others.   Compassion is a societal response arising from the desire to have good deeds returned to you one day so we can all live in harmony. 

          Again, no god in the equation.

            Vomit + more vomit = lots of vomit.

            Chemicals are signs for your body to use. They communicate dear sir, they don't cause.

            You burn your hand and chemicals are sent via electro-chemical impulses.

            I suppose you'd like to suggest the pain is caused by chemicals there too?

            Your wasting my time ignoring things I've placed into this discussion and repeating outdated theories.

            The language of dna is wrote with chemicals as well, just like you're writing words into that little box. Each combination has a different "meaning" like the combinations of letters we call "words" which also have "meaning."

            It's a communication tool. Not the cause for the message being sent..

          And, of course, you have evidence to back this claim.

          Love is the result experienced from a chemical reaction in the body, so its origins are physical...like hate, envy, sorrow, delirium, confusion, anger, and fear.

          If you can't accept a scientific basis for LOVE, then you can't accept a scientific basis for the others either.

          Of course, you could go right on believing in whimsical, magical, invisible realities...which explains, absolutely, nothing!

            Still not addressing what chemicals ARE little fella.

            So the chemicals cause the lust for another person?

            Or is the cause not the direct result of a thought pattern that stimulates the correct signals [ie-chemicals] to flow as in the case of fetishes?

            The cause is the action the eye perceived by the observed person, a flash of a foot in the wierd fetish case.. NOT by some chemical - the chemical came from the thoughts TRIGGERED BY another person's foot..

            I don't even know why I'm attempting to explain this to you.

            It's not that hard to understand communication, language, and systems....

    Sure.  Your statement is that "love exists" AND that "love is beyond science's grasp"

    To prove anything, you must have a definition of it first - define love as the presence of certain chemicals in the brain.  To prove the negative of a future event, one must also either have infinite time or accept partial evidence as proof of a possibility - the latter will be necessary as we do not have infinite time.

    The first part of the premise is not in contention and is accepted as true.

    Science can quite accurately detect those chemicals in the brain that produce the "feel good" feeling we commonly denote as "love"  Therefore it is not beyond the grasp of science, and the second half of the premise is false.

      vector7posted 11 years agoin reply to this

      Chemicals in the brain don't explain the meanings conveyed by them.

      The chemicals are communicative signs that are used as language to the brain. The word love doesn't explain the meaning of the word itself any more than chemicals used as language explain the meaning conveyed by them.

      That is an outdated approach and excludes completely the understanding of how chemicals are used as communicative tools in the brain.

      The chemicals are not the meaning or the cause. They are a tool of the electro-chemical machine called the brain, just as these words aren't the cause for my reply but are a tool called english language [ie-communicative signs] by which we convey meaning through the social system, which works parallel in comparison to your brain.

      Nice try on "the chemicals cause it" though. I've did many a night my share of homework.

    I think that it depends on what you mean by "proof" and as well "love." It's key to the discussion.

    If you talk about love as it's portrayed typically, then you can hook a person up to some instruments and check their bio stats, measure brain activity in certain areas or whatever else medical science does to  indicate response to "stimuli" and have someone they care for deeply enter the room.  You can call that a "proof" because of how the definition was made.

    Scientific proof is really very well documented observation.  I hypothesize on what I believe is correct, then conduct experiments and observe how closely my hypothesis aligns with my observation.

    To prove love, we need to define love, i.e. it's characteristics, and then design the methodology to prove it (experiment, observation).

    So first - what is love?
