the incredulous refuse to be impressed by anything. I believe there are things in this world that cannot be scientifically quantified. Can we quantify love? Or see it? Or feel it? But we know it exists - we assume it's real. As one of the incredulous when in regards to certain claims of the metaphysical in general,or the the religious in particular, I have long learned not to be easily impressed. This is probably wise when remembering, for instance, a long history of mendacity, the conflicting claims of the major faiths and lack of extraordinary evidence for the central extraordinary claims. As for love, it is not only humans who mate for life. I don't think it is a power from above, or 'from the heart' but just the sentimentalised (and extremely enjoyable) psychological manifestation of a biological imperative (one which is more defined in some societies than others it may be said). But it is dangerous to assume that because there are something we cannot see that exists that that is true of all proposed invisibles.
