What you are talking about are emotions as though there was an entity with an apron and big wooden spoon. If you leave a glass of water out in the sunlight for many days you will soon get algae, then you will get microbes swimming around then bigger ones and it goes on. There is no love there is not an emotion present it is natural law, things evolve without the temperance of any entity. If the water happens not because of the person's glass and tap it is much faster. Things go bump in the night and other things come from it. Stop trying to make more out of it. There is not a grand chef adding the ingredients because if there were, then we would have a problem with some of his mistakes.

Do you mean the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts? There is all this matter, and antimatter and energy and everything we can account for yet people also have emotions like fear and love which cannot be weighed and measured and sliced up? So do you think god is beyond the nature of the universe and sits elsewhere. Fair enough if it makes you happy but I believe emotions are the result of our brains and belief in god is an exaggerated function of the brain once used to comprehend of a predator larger than us and I am a committed atheist. I respect your view, respect mine.

Yeah, but it's easy to say "put some water oil rice veggies meat on the fire" but have you thought about how difficult that would be if you started with nothing?
First, create water, then make it drinkable. Next, you have to process some oil to make it usable, grow some rice, grow some veggies and kill some meat. Oh and salt? Gotta find it somewhere!
And btw, happiness, love, fear, are all energies, and they are all matter.

The only thing I'm aware of that is neither matter nor energy is time.
Those feelings/thoughts you are describing are our perception of the chemical/electrical state within our brains ... they are the soup that is formed when that unique combination of matter and energy exists.

Because the majority of Chrsitians are rude. And since you claim all these things are made - who made your God? Or did he "poof" suddenly appear? Pick up a science book and learn a little about evolution and then give us a call back.

No, I didn't actually.
But I'm feeling hungry now.
And you're right - 'imagination of god' does exist.

I am a Christian, and must say that is a poorly presented analogy
