Emotion to science...

*RayMe* · Dec 14, 2007, 12:36 AM

Well i recently watched this documentary on Emotion and Feeling and it's connection with the brain...

Well when we feel something (in thier studies) our brains makes a special pattern of chemical and brain frequency... so to science... feelings and emotions are triggered by them.. including love... (they are now studying it still) This studies are still ongoing and they has been proofs to the theories that has been made...
(it even showed the connection of love and lust..)

-So do you think that this feelings we have and feel are merely... chemical reaction in out brains? or is it so much more?
-Do you believe in this sort of studies?
-Whats your opinion in this matter?

-Nope... Feelings aren't just chemical reaction and such, God gave us this feelings for us to be happy. And of course, to make us feel all so sweet...
-Nope. I disagree with them. I mean, how could they say that! Don't they have feelings! I mean, sure, we have all these sorts of gadgets, experimentations and such, but, how can they explain the feeling of happiness or sadness? They have no rights at all, to declare such things!
-All I can say is that people, I think, forgot what true meaning of love and emotions means. People have changed and well, they think they're so highly with things they invented. They forgot that God made us to love and feel somethings that can never be explained by science.

Phew! That was a weird post from me. >.>

No it isn't that way .. and if you think about it from even ancient times The Heart shape was the symbol of love and not the brain

maybe but as you said trigger them and not creating them ... so it may have some kind of effect to make our choices nothing else ...

there's something called "Love from the first sight" if the brain chemical effects affect that way then the first girl i saw in my entire life would be the first i loved .. but no because there's something else something more about this matter ...

- To me Emotions are much, MUCH more. More so a force taht can be controlled, such as we feel it, we can choose to let it ini or unleash it. Then again this is coming from a guy who finds majority of science to be nothing but crap, lol.
- The study? Another waste of time with Science trying to seem ALL knowing, and right.
- My opinion, didn't I just list it?

Well... one day maybe science would overcome that.. @.@ maybe they will find a way to change the biochemichal changes in our brain and control our emotions... @.@

That is very possible.. now they are trying to understand the pattern...and how to trigger changes... scary... maybe we'll be like robots in the future or...robots will have feelings...

... @.@

Well ayu...they have solid proove on that... sheesh

Well everytime something happen when we think... chemichal and brain pulse goes differently... and they give certain effect to us... cry,laugh,energetic.. ect ect...
There has been one incident here... where... a granny...lift up a car by her self... because she was angry because the car's tire rolled on this little boy's foot...

(explained by a teacher : The granny was able to pull that stunt out because of the adrenaline kicking in - triggered by anger and love...)

I'd say yes and no.

It's a proven fact that our brains send electronic signals and chemicals to our nervous system and other various body parts in order to make us function. It's also a proven fact that the brain produces a chemical called dopamine, which causes humans to feel emotions of happiness, joy and love.

Yes, our brain's production of chemicals is the main reason we have emotions at all. But sometimes those feelings can be produced by other things, such as drugs. Ecstacy makes the brain produce a chemical called serotonin, which is what is produced to incur certain moods. It also makes your brain produce more dopamine that usual. So your feelings of love toward someone may be as artificial as a three dollar bill.

The same can be said with alchohol. It makes people angry for little to no reason at all. So, I guess you can say that science is right, but the chemicals you put in your body usually dictates the chemicals produced by your brain.

If these feelings that we all have at a time would be only chemical reactions in our brain then maybe we'll be able to control them in the future*thinks*...but i don't think they're just reaction in our brains because we feel more and we can never control them..umm...God created us to have feelings not just to think..i mean the one that stays above it's the brain but lower we find the heart that helps us to love..

Sometimes yes,but not always because these kind of studies don't always tell us everything we would want to find out and they don't always tell the truth(at least i think so from my own experiences).

What else should i have to say?because i already think i said enough

*LichGRIFFIN* · Dec 14, 2007, 10:13 AM

i just have to agree with everyone here .. i mean everything in nature goes according to certain law that's devoted to serve the purpose .. from neutin's gravity's law to endless laws that control our surroundings environment and almost everything .... so maybe the brain chemical changes have only side effects on our choices but as i said before from ancient times it is a separated thing to put heart and brain in two totally different levels ...

Technically speaking, you can't feel with something that pumps blood throughout your body. On top of that, your brain controls you; not the other way around.

God may have given us free will and the ability to think and feel for ourselves, but that doesn't mean that the brain doesn't work on a scientific level. Saying that the chemicals produced by the brain don't have an affect on how we think, feel and react is like me saying that the left lobe of my brain controls my right testicle.

If it's proven then it's proven. I may not 'look at it' that way, as in all scientific and stuff, but it helps explain why things affect us and why we act certain ways. It helps us understand on the physical level what exactly is going on in there.

We are living beings made up of cells. Whether created by a God or evolved from the primordial spectrum of organisms it doesn't matter. What we have in us is what's in there, plus more.

I can agree with that point of view. It's not wrong to agree with science but still think there's a bit more to it. In fact, that's why there are scientists. Because there's more to life than what they've 'discovered'.
