What would it be like to observe a civilization through a telescope for centuries before actually meeting them?
Watching reruns of "The Brady Bunch."
The denizens of other material planets operate in the subtle material plane which modern gross material instruments can never pick up
I believe this to be the aether. You're on to something here!
No wonder academia, at least sides of it, can be so ridiculed if not despised
Feeling dyspeptic are we? Cheer up, we aren't all bad.

If evolution is the answer to every question, why do we still have questions at all?
Seriously? Jeebus, let's at least keep the bus on the friggin' road. It's a simple proposition - humans are a product of evolution as is our behavior. Again, If you doubt or reject that proposition, then what's the alternative? That human behavior is externally bestowed by 'higher power(s)] or provisioned straight from the aether?

i think humans are primarily driven by love and that is our key strength.
when did the emotion of love evolve and how have the species who feel it fared? Good question.

"Feeling dyspeptic are we?"
jgill, it's passion.
You know, of course you do... we can get dyspeptic over things we're passionate about.
Look no further than climbers, just see the things they get dyspepsia (dyspepsis?) over, lol!
"Cheer up, we aren't all bad."
I know! Yayyyy!!!!!11
.....
Careful there, Healyje, that diagram suggests "love" might be a product of body mechanics - which could "upset" the "non-science types" on the thread.
"What are we, robots?!"

Yes Love is what drives the entire manefestation.
There is nothing but love period.
In the material world hate is just an imperfect reflection of love ......

Feel that?
Did you feel that?
Earthquake?
No.
It's alright, go back to work.
It was just another evolution taking place
somewhere in Christendom.

It may be more of a hormonal thing for men, based on physical attractiveness but I can assure you that women on the average put some thought into who they fall in love with. One night stands fall in the realm of chemistry usually (hormones, time within the monthly cycle + alcohol) but when selecting a mate, considerations like income, temperment, responsibility and attitudes toward children are just as important. And that's evolution too, by the way.

LOL.
"And that's evolution too, by the way."
Yep.
"considerations like income, temperament, responsibility and attitudes toward children are just as important."
Yep.
And that's brain mechanics (executing its programming) by the way.
Not some silly ol' time religious "ghost in the machine" "from another dimension" nonsense.
Woo.... Woo.... Woo.....

Hey I was responding to healeyje who said it was all hormonal (go back and look at his diagram). If you want to argue that he was wrong, argue with him.

Locker, careful here now.
Subject's suddenly gone delicate, tricky, again.
WARNING!!!!
Do NOT post any picture of a female, particular a pretty one, learn from your mistakes!
Do Not!
In light of having POSTED material in the past re infringements on womens rights (eg, attack on Malala, women in Saudi Arabia who aren't allowed to drive and then imprisoned, your stand against FGM, the plight of the African girls under Boca Haram)... even though ol' time religious related...
and thus showing (presumably fake) "sensitivities"...
...to then post pics of T'Pol or Seven (Star Trek women) or Nora O'Donnel (even if to draw out a subtle nuance in perception of beauty vs sex appeal)... would just reek of awful or brutish things, not the least... hypocrisy!!
God forbid... accusations of hypocrisy!! or proof of hypocrisy!!
This is a science-religion thread.
Don't forget it! We mustn't forget it!!

healey could not have made such an erudite observation. As a man, he's too busy obsessing over boobies.

In the material world love gets perverted into lust and sex.
Love comes from the heart the seat of the soul .......

"Hey I was responding to healeyje who said it was all hormonal (go back and look at his diagram)." -Jan
See, this is just what you do. A dozen times over. For some of us who have been around years, maybe dozens of times over.
Healyje posted a pic showing neurotransmitter and hormonal influences.
He did not say...
did not
did not!
did not say!!!
it was ALL hormonal.
Yes, you are a good writer. Esp regards English. But you are also a terribly inaccurate writer at times at least when it comes to the basic sciences of human functioning and who very often, like Moose so eloquently put it a ways back, "misses the point" on the finer underlying "under the hood" mechanics.
Yes, sometimes your posts are incensing, too. Like the one linking female beauty, posting pics (no r rated mind you), women's rights and... suggesting hypocrisy in one or more male posters here.
You should be more careful sometimes, is all.
.....
PS
I, HFCS, contrary to your allegation preserved here pages back... I have never EVER ONCE in all my time here... told a SEX joke concerning women... or posted any r-rated pic, NOT A ONE, to a booby thread... objectifying women as sex objects or whatever (or however you so slovenly described it).
But a reincarnated jackrabbit in idaho? maybe? but actually that was FortMental now that I think about it... I think... I just thought it was super funny.
One last bit...
Have I appreciated female beauty? from multiple perspectives? in ways no more gaudy or risque or out of bounds than Bullwinkle's artful nudes?
Sure I have.
No apologies, either, about that.
