...to live in a world in which one's highest emotions can be understood in biochemical and evolutionary terms, rather than a gift from God.

Love is a result of natural selection and without it, procreation is dead in the water.
Next question.

How narrow minded...who do you think created biochemical and the ability to come up with evolutionary terms? Oh right, now I remember, it oozed up out of primordial soup.
Next question?

I think God is biochemical and evolutionary....why is that wrong or bad. It seems to me even more amazing that God would create evolution and not just zap two people onto the Earth to start procreating and feeling bad that they 'ate from the tree of knowledge'

No.
It's not hard to admire the beauty of nature, a running animal, a mountain range, a flower, or a rainbow once you know what causes them, if anything it makes them MORE magnificent and fascinating. The human mind is similar, and we still don't have all the answers. The world's wonders never cease, and atheism provides frontiers yet to be explored, and curiosity is actually considered a virtue.

I don't believe that our emotions can be understood that way. I believe that scientist relate emotions in a scientific way because they feel that there MUST be an explanation for EVERYTHING. Call me nieve, but I live with the mindset that some things are just meant to be unexplained, i.e. death, love, child bonding etc. I guess in some ways ignorance is bliss.

"Methodical research in all branches of knowledge, provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things the of the faith derive from the same God. The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are" (CCC 159).

The highest noble part of us is the soul which is spirit and not chemical,and this is the part of us made in Gods image and can never be explained away as something lesser.

What world are you referring to?

no harder than to live in a world where we know that there is no "rain god" but "weather". Science doesn't replace God. it helps us understand him even better.
great question by the way!!! I bet you are a very cool person.

Au contraire, its easier when you know the truth. It sets you free, as they say.God, is one of the proposed solutions, which still does not answer the big question.But until the answer is known, its definitely the most popular acceptance of the solution..but one day..we will know.

No! It's easy. And really our emotions can't be fully explained by science. It doesn't matter if God exists or not. I don't care where my emotions stem from. They are a part of life; I don't need to explain or understand why I have them.
