Computers can play music, movies, games, surf the internet. Have you ever seen electrons performing complex mathematical equations or playing movies? Have you ever even seen an electron? Obviously computers are powered by Jesus, that's the Truth!

So what? Rocks don't express love, water doesn't express love... what's your point?
And, studying compostition is often the first step toward understanding cause, function and effect.
I think YOU just laid an egg, MG.
Ok, it's like saying, "have you seen a necklace stealing a 5000$ convertible(because we humans, following the analogy, are stolen pricey objects)?". What science says it's that emotions are followed by the release of some sort of CHEMICALS, not that they have to feel them.
Nice point, Doctor Whom.
And while chemicals might not express love to each other, they sure can react violently with each other... (okay, bad pun, I know)

I can't say for certain it was 'love', but I've seen a few carboxylate groups that were really attracted to water!
And little Polly Ethyleneterephthalate definitely loved Ben Zene, you only had to take your eye of their flask for a second and they were all over each other!
We can study the composition - chemical, biological, physical etc. of horseshit. However, given those chemicals, we cannot produce horseshit.
You can look at the grammatical, logical, intellectual etc. compositions of an arguement but still you can't produce a decent arguement for creationism.
by the way when someone says etc. it usually means they don't know of any more examples.
AL: "We can study the composition - chemical, biological, physical etc. of horseshit. However, given those chemicals, we cannot produce horseshit."
Well, I believe Garg just did... at least mental horseshit.
Craig Venter has recently created the first artificial organism.
Give it a few more years, then you'll eat your words.
"Humans have emotions. However, I have never seen chemicals in my laboratory expressing love to each other. Have you?"
The vulnerability of human emotions to chemical balances in the mind lead me to conclude that emotions are chemicals, or are at least heavily influenced by them. If there’s a non-corporeal soul complicit in the decision to wake up one’s wife at three o’clock in the morning (her time),then it’s a pretty useless accessory.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
