I refer to my emotions because God promised to give me a new heart. He didn't promise to give me a new car, but instead a new heart. What else would i be looking for?

Your heart pumps blood. That's all it does.
Your emotions are a result of brain activity.

Friend, anyone who has an hear will hear, its not for me to prove anything.

I hear and understand what you are saying. But saying something does not make it true. There has never, ever been evidence for something that does not actually exist.

You assert that the soul is real in the same way that another person would assert that the Thetan is real. If there was evidence for a soul I would be over joyed. But alas and alack there is no evidence to support the idea that people have souls (or Thetans).

I don't see how my politely explaining my point as clearly as I could is the same as being a broken record. I'm hurt that you would take such a dismissive stance when I've been nothing but civil to you.

I've heard other people claim that Atheists are persecuted by Christians: but this is the first time I've been on the recieving end of it.

So we are arguing if Christians live in fear. Im not afraid. Are you?

Of death? No...I'm not too keen on the dying part though.

The difference is, my lack of fear towards death is a result of the acceptance of my mortality. Yours is the result of belief that you'll exist forever.

I suspect, based upon these two possibilities, that only one of us ever really has any doubt.

Its you who are ignoring

Dude........

You literally stated that science has no explanations for, or ways to investigate, emotion.

I shared some sources with you from neurosciences that demonstrate the exact opposite.

But *I* am the one that ignores things, ha?

For crying out loud...

You think that explains the complexities of human experience?

The human brain is a very complex organ of which we still have much to learn.

However, it is without question that "human experience", your thoughts, your emotions, etc, originate in your brain. That's the CPU you do your thinking with.

We can literally put you under a scanner and analyse your thought patterns.

In fact, these days we are actually already taking baby steps in literally reading someone's thoughts by analysing brain activity in real time.

Wow. From your explanation, the human is like a computer robot. I am just a robot. Thats what you are telling me.

Especially if what you are trying to sell is snake-oil ;-)

I've both listened to and met Ken Ham. He doesn't stray from his lines and create original dialog when you talk with him.

I'm just sharing facts with you.

I never said that humans are robots, that's what you are adding to it.
I can't help it if you can't deal with the facts. All I can do is bring the facts to your attention. You are free to ignore them.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/scientists-develop-brain-decoder-can-hear-inner-thoughts/
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have invented a brain decoder device that’s able to work out what you’re thinking based on neuron activity inside the brain

Your brain *is* the organ that you do your thinking with. That's just the way it is. Learn to deal with it.

Learn to deal with the fact that i have a brain. That shouldn't be a problem. I can do that.
