          What are you seeking to prove? by Arachnid2007-01-22 17:12:12
            Do we? by subbywan 2007-01-22 17:18:45
How can we create an experiment to prove "love"? I don't argue we experience it, but how does one set up an *objective* test to prove this?

We can prove we experience a set of physiological, chemical and neurological states based on given stimuli. But that's all.

As you say, we cannot prove some abstract concept like love. Did we really create it, or merely give an existing condition an easy identifier?

That said, did we create God as an abstract condition, or is it a pre-existing condition that we've merely given a convinient name?
