If you mean that it's in the bible, then the same evidence exists to prove the existence of Frodo. To which bad evidence are you referring?

While the physical mechanism is the cause of that sensation, there is more to the sensation than just the physical mechanism. Similarly, even if love is causally reducible to a physical mechanism, what love is, is the feeling that I am conscious of. To think otherwise is to just ignore the phenomenology of the whole thing.

I'm saying it can be proven, I'm not defining it. Love is very philosophical, and that aspect cannot be fully explained through scientific method. What can be explained is that it is present or not. That's all I was saying.

Speaking as someone who has his degree in psychology (4.0 GPA) from a private university famous for it's psychology department and is getting his masters, and is the son and fellow researcher of one of the more prominent psychologists on the west coast, I think that you should probably post at least a shred of evidence that I'm wrong before you start throwing scores at me. Read the evidence I posted. I presented two books and an article written by a well respected doctor of biochemistry. Maybe instead of assuming you know the first thing about biochemistry or psychology, you should fact check first. The dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life is that the WWE is real. Think about it.
