Isn't there more than proofs?

Waiting for a silly scientific explanation

May I politely offer that reason calls this to attention, "...I can't believe it's just chemicals in my brain." is an argument from ignorance. What you or I can not believe is not a sound base for our view of reality. That we have seen the brain is the organ from which thought comes, that thought has never been demonstrated to have another source, and that the functions of the brain appear to be strictly chemical in nature, leads me to think that it is a matter of chemicals in you brain.

Life is full of mystery, more so, in fact, if I do not allow magic as an easy explanation for the unknown.

It's not magic. It is chemicals in your brain. In fact there's a scientific formula to make music that will affect the masses in this way. Not just that, but there's an ancient formula that still holds true today, look up "The golden mean", it was a way of composing music to make sure people would like it. There's a whole range of sounds, ranging from binurial beats, to theta waves, that can actually physically change the way your brain works (while your listening to it anyway).

What I find ironic about this whole discussion is that many of them will turn around and tell you that their lack of belief in God is due to logical reasons, usually mentioning something along the lines that there isn't any evidence for such a being. However, if their emotions are merely just chemical reactions in their brains, then why isn't the same true for their lack of belief in God? If what they believe is true, it should be irrelevant whether God exists or not, they should believe or disbelieve in His existence solely due to the balance of chemicals in their brains rather than whether such a belief is logical or illogical.

I don't think it's just chemicals. I think it's JUST CHEMICALS! That neurotransmitters, the configuration of axons, neurons, dendrites and synapses, and a little electricity, reproduced BILLIONS of times (do you know how BIG a billion is? Count out loud, 24/7, and it will take you over thirty years to count to one measly billion) can produce such sublime emotions is INCREDIBLE! It's awe inspiring. It's why Einstein thought that if there were any sort of God, it was expressed in the natural wonders of the universe, not the supernatural.

Please take the time to watch "The extended mind: Recent experimental evidence" on you tube. Its a fascinating lecture that goes for over an hour, but well worth a listen. Our minds do indeed have a little bit of magic, and a little bit of mystery, which science is just starting to aknowledge & uncover. It has nothing to do with 'god'.

The mind isn't a computer, it doesn't react solely based on stimuli, it also reacts based on your thought processes.

Some soldiers don't flinch when they kill another man. They are desensitised.

You cry because you are sensitive to the music (I hardly know anyone who crys over music, what song was it anyway?).

Your reaction is because of your thought processes, stimuli aren't defined as "sad" or "happy" it's your thoughts that make the stimuli (in this case the music) upsetting.

tl;dr Your mind's interpretation of things makes you sad, not your genetics.
