What miraculous processes do you suggest occur in human brains ?
Similar to the rest of your body, the atoms of your brain behave according
to the known laws of Physics. Do you seriously doubt this ?
Human behavior is therefore subject to these laws as are the stars. There
is no doubt that love and hate and their
associated behavior patterns correlate with physical processes in the brain
and
in other body parts. Anybody who doubts that should read up on
the Physics and Medical Sciences. Even with todays
primitive methods, emotions and behavior patters can at least partially be
forced
via electrical stimuli and chemicals etc.
If you want to make an argument about the incompletenes of physics and
science,
I believe you would need to do this in a much more sophisticated manner.
