If evolution is true, then why do humans love?

Question

Think about it before you answer, love makes us vulnerable, it lends us to poor decision making and can put us in physical danger.

Answer 1

Evolution is not true.
Humans love because we were made in God's image. God loved us and he imparted that to us.

Answer 2

Love makes us vulnerable is your opinion.
Love makes some of us, to do poor decision making.
And your idea that Evolution must be false because of love is ridiculous.
How do we not know that love is a survival instinct.
I don't think you thought about your question before you wrote it.
If someone asked you the definition of love, all animals would fall into the category of being able to love. I'm guessing you're asking this to say something like this " See God gave us the ability to love, and that proves there's a God." No sorry you got it wrong.
Feelings are not just for mankind but all living creatures....You may say no.... but what about fear? All creatures feel fear, it's a survival instinct....so maybe, love is too.

How about this for a question.
Evolution gave us the ability to create God in our own image?

Answer 3

We love because we are complex social animals with a long history of deriving benefits from loyalty, caring about ones family and by extension other tribe members and friends.

Very simple, very powerful, very beautiful - no gods required.

You said that love-based decisions can put us in harms way. And this is true. But how is it (in evolution or society) a bad thing for men and women to care so deeply for their children that they will risk great harm to protect them and go to great lengths to feed them and teach them how to thrive?

I wold consider it much worse for someone to pay tithes and let their children suffer for it, and that is exactly what some people do. After all, the Sky God must be served first.

Answer 4

I know what the missing link is! We are ALL ALIENS from another galaxy. We were put on this earth by God as an experiment. We crashed here and lost communication with GOD and that is why we pray. Telepathy is a form of communication ya know. WE didn't look like what we are now until we mixed with the chimps. Wha la! **** Sapiens. We still wanted to get off the planet so we tried to contact God by building giant pyramids. God just lets us do our thing here. He hears us, and throws more variables into the equation but leaves it up to us to come up with the solution. Only one GOD. All religions are man made. We will never know the truth and that is beautiful.

Answer 5

You're evolution questions really make no sense. Why do some animals move slower than others, that's vulnerability. Animals show love and affection, what's the point you're trying to make??

Answer 6

Dear Just My Opinion: Although some animals certainly feel love for their Young and devotion to their lifelong Mates, I do not consider animals in relationship to our Selves.

We are Created as Spirit-Minds in our Reality (This thing called Time being the Separation which took place in Eternity in our spirit-minds - not in the Garden of Eden). We have the appearances of owning bodies, being individual, having different personalities, etc. But our Truth is beyond appearances. The Resurrection and the story of Lazarus and others was the demonstration of our Reality and Truth. Truth could not be killed. Your Creator holds His Children, His Sonship, His Kingdom within the enfoldment of His Spirit Self. He fills all space and dimension.

NOW THE ISSUE: Human love does not feel the same as Divine Love - which is your heritage and background. What we call love knows no steadfastness. What we call love knows no sacred heart. Although, agreed, we sometimes look upon life-long devotions. However, it is not the QUALITY of Divine Love - whatever occurs, here, inside Time. What we call love is not of your greater Knowing, in your Reality. BUT - we DO contain, in our souls, the memory of that Love. When remembered or sometimes experienced through the Holy Spirit bringing it to you as a Gift, for a few moments of time - it bends you over. The human body cannot withstand a very strong dose of it! Bodies do not hold up well under the Power and Force of God - for His Love is a force - an energy - potent enough to dissolve your thoughts of having a body.

What we enact here, in Time, is a DESIRE to know love and have love in our earthly life. It's a poor resemblance. His steadfastness and sacred heart toward US is a whole lesson in itself. There isn't room here to get into that!

Suffice it to say - human love is an effort we make - because we are made of something higher - that exists inside of us. We know OF love. We know something about it! In Separation, we offer what we can. . . We are in possession of God's Gratitude and the Holy Spirit and Jesus' Gratitude for each and every small act of love we bring to each other. They offer you Grace in return.

Answer 7

Evolution is a lie. We were made in Gods image and we are made like him. Just as Jesus laid own his life for our sins, we were made to give of ourselves. If evolution was right, we would only want to kill and dominate each other. We care for each other when hurt, and not leave them to die. We are always learning new ways of curing diseases, to make life better. We are all part of a great human family made in the image of a loving God.

Answer 8

Evolutionarily speaking, pair bonding is very important for a species with vulnerable young who are dependent on parents.

Seems pretty intuitive to me.

Answer 9

Because it is also used to create bonds with others. We are pack animals, this is how we survived. With out the bonds that we share then there would be no unity, and we would have not evolved to the point that we are today,

Answer 10

Why don't you actually learn about evolution before trying to bash it. Go get a degree in biology or something.

Answer 11

Love does not make us vulnerable, it makes us stronger. I'm sorry that you have not found it yet, but when you do, you'll know what I mean.
