That's true, NetDoc. For instance: We know as a scientific fact that Spinkles and Ceridwen's bodies release a lot of the neurotransmitter PEA whenever the two see each other. PEA makes them elated and even giggly. But that doesn't explain why Spinkles and Ceridwen's bodies release PEA when they see each other, and not release it when they see -- say -- George Bush.NetDoc said:Actually,
They only quantify how our bodies synthesize the chemicals... not how the trigger mechanism actually causes our body to do that. They got the "how", but not the "why".
Well since they voted for him, we aren't so sure about that statement!and not release it when they see -- say -- George Bush.

I don't know about that...I've never been attracted to blondes before, but Maize is blonde.Druidus said:Genetic predisposition to like certain features would cause that. Coded in our genes, whether we like skinny or plump, round or blocky, muscular or non-muscular, tall or short, male or female, etc.
I'm not going to argue that...but why would hair colour be any different from any of the other possible 'genetically coded' characteristic preferences you listed? I've been attracted to people of different shapes and sizes, there's not really been a constant that I can put my finger on, thinking about it. That's an awful lot of variables to try to find 'programmed' into someone - especially since scientists are having enough trouble pinpointing what causes plain old sexual orientation.Druidus said:Perhaps another aspect of Maize's character has attracted you?
You have a stronger faith in science than I.Druidus said:I do believe that science can explain all attractions, but only because I believe science could explain everything, even God/s, given time and ability. However, I doubt we could now. i also believe that there are mysterious, mercurial, forces at work in love as well.
Is it now? Funny how them thar babies learn so darn quick.pah said:Since emotion is a learned behavior
Really now? The origins as well? I have yet to see that.But, can science "explain moods and feelings"? Of course it can.
Perhaps you could start here.NetDoc said:Really now? The origins as well? I have yet to see that.
Ah, but so rudimentary and limitied. Aspects of love are not fully learned until adulthood, for example. Sadness is wholly selfishness at birth and growth provides distinctionNetDoc said:Is it now? Funny how them thar babies learn so darn quick.
