yeah
and scientists/researches believed that there was a gene responsible for making some people gay too, that doesn't mean it's true.

Friar and Ariala -

Both of your views fit mine. Everything is a chemical reaction. We are walking bags of chemicals. But the question is, as Friar stated - how did the gene get there? Are we the only animals with it? Why does the gene work in some and not in others? It's all very interesting.

It is a claim

that should be understood within the context of the tendency to reduce everything to chemicals and other things that can be observed and plotted on a graph. 

But, even if it were true, how did it get there?  Do we find the same thing among animals?

Everything you can think of is a chemical reaction in the brain...that
neither proves or disproves God...it simply allows us an avenue to experience him.  If our brains were dead, we wouldn't have that avenue.

That really does take us into some interesting areas.
I may have to hunt down that issue and read the article myself.
