Yeah, it does mean that actually, because then bio-electro-chemcial-
complexity love theory is just the same as gravity theory.

Gravity is physics. Love is biological, pshychological and cultural. A
theory of love in equations wouldnt work because love requires things
like social interaction between members of a population. Also there is
no 'theory of love', this is a biological understanding of love but
that's not the whole picture.

And you can
rightly see that any writing not basicly in line with gravity theory
is discarded, and so is any false love theory. Why do you think the
intellect of you all is typically consecrated in sarcasm, irony and
cynicism? It is because for instance when somebody in music sings
about the love the heart or soul or somesuch, the science machine
inside you cuts the meaning down to electro chemical bio rubbish.

I covered all this in my last email. In simple terms all emotions are
undeniably and very objectively the product of our bains. Knowing this
is much like knowing how a car engine works, it doesnt stop you
enjoying the thrill of the ride any less, and possibly a bit more.

I think you're got the wrong idea here totally.Understanding something
doesnt get rid of the magic, it just makes it more real.

Also science does not deal with meaning. I've covered this many times
before. Meaning is what we subscribe to things.

Gee, you are just lying when you say you have no doubt that love is
indeed biochemical.

That emotions are the product of the brain is common knowledge. Go and
explore this yourself, you don't have to take my word for it. No
really - go check.


You don't actually believe that, you are just a
liar.

No I don't believe that - I know that. It's abit like the Earth being
round - I don't believe that, I know that (having flown around it just
to check).

Who doubts here that Stew Dean is a liar? Who says that the
intelligent design folk are liars, Stew here is the liar obviously. As
before, it is very easy to see what's the good side, and what's the
bad side.

It is indeed. I'm on the educated and responsible side.

I have no doubt whatsoever that love is spiritual, which means that
love can't be established objectively, that we can only establish it
subjectively, by decision.

As you havnt actualy said what 'spiritual' means I think you have a
lot of doubt and confusion, it's just you want to be right more than
you want to be correct.

Okay, upto now I've not used any references, let's find a couple of
search terms to start you off.....

Phenylethylamine

Secondary Emotions

I'm not going to tell you where to look, just pick your favourite
seach engine.

Also the idea that art and science are opposites is complete and utter
nonsense. Have you ever been an artist? Have you ever written music?
How about a love song?

In simple terms your idea that by understanding the biology of love
some how means you can't write a whole hearted love song is simply no
true.
