You can't possibly expect people to just accept statements at face value, regardless of how poorly they fit with observable fact, now can you?

'bang'

Yes. Bang. You've never studied microchemistry, have you?

Yes. Bang. You've never studied microchemistry, have you?

And you responded because you have no control...your chemistry made you do it!

The devil himself no doubt!

Well then...clever boy....take your pick what ever you are made of.

And that lump is going to answer me..... as a chemical reaction?

Where science says brain chemistry determines how we feel a religion might say it has more to do with demons for example. Well nobody has observed demons but they observe people doing crazy **** or even one of their hands being possessed (alien hand syndrome). Where science may have an answer for it religion will have another. That was ok back in the day when superstition was rampant but there is no longer a need to stick our heads in the sand.

Is that the same as having your head in the 'dust'?

Literally.
