where does love come from? That funny feeling that you get in your heart and stomach when you see your kids, your parents, your spouse or friends?
If a loved one dies, you suffer deeply... that´s love. This beautiful feeling, just evolved at the cosmos from a cell? From, nothing?

When people say that love separates us from animals, why would God think that all those species in the world were unworthy of getting this "beautiful feeling", but humans were?
I don't want to go out and offend anyone (since I'm Atheist), but there are just too many loopholes and unanswered questions when it comes to God and religion in general. Something as important to a person as faith shouldn't be that ambiguous. Things happen every single day that have people questioning God again and people rack their brains trying to figure out some logical reason why it happened. Like Hurricane Katrina for instance or the horrific tsunami that destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives. Why would the all-loving God leave billions of people to suffer in such a cruel world? It just doesn't add up.

Animals also experience emotion. Have you ever seen an elephant hold her dead child in her trunk rocking it gently as the other elephants gathered around and layed their trunks on her back? What is the explanation for such behavior if not emotion? Emotions are caused by physical processes just like everything else. This doesn't not in my mind diminish the power and beauty of existence. Emotions have evolved to strength our bonds with each other and as a mechanism of survival. Why this should diminish our lives in some people's eyes I don't understand.

Just because we don't have the answers to all life's questions, does not mean we need to make up fairy tales and force them down everyones throats. Why are people so uncomfortable in saying that we just don't know the answers to many of life's mysteries? And live our lives as moral and decent people without worshipping a god.

From an evolutionary perspective, it helps a species survive if they care for each other, particularly kids, spouses, et cetera. And nothing evolved from nothing, that just shows how little you understand evolution.

Just because God might not exist doesnt mean you dont.
If god doesnt exist, you still do - Love is your central nature expressing itself in emotion.
Its still profound and worthy and beautiful - even without a god.

"If a loved one dies, you suffer deeply". May I ask why? If God exists, that person is in a better place. Why aren't we happy? Don't you believe in God?
At least in my case... love comes form, precisely, the ones I love, not from nowhere.

It just depends on your definition of god. If you see god as creation, love, infinity, the universe, a great energy, then things start to make sense. Religions mislead people terribly.

It's a physiological event that has evolved with us as a survival mechanism. It seems magical because it happens within us and we don't see the actual mechanics of it. All we have is our personal experience of love that truly is a full body/mind experience.
It's biological... nothing more. Your question is a non sequitur.

What in the world would a "god" have to do with this? Your question makes no sense at all. It's like asking "If Gilligan's Island is fictional, why do I get tired?".

The existence of love and other feelings we cannot explain does not automatically lead to the existence of a god.
