[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1162129, member: 14544"] Ron, You've always seemed quite sincere with your questions and positions on this type of topic, so I'll throw this out for you to chew on as a one time post. I'm interested in your reply if you have one, but as stated I will leave it at that. Love is considered by many to have a chemical manifestation in the synapses of the brain, therefor it would be considered to have a physical presence. But what is physical? We predominately define the world around us by the 5 senses that we have and the language we collectively use- this seems rather limiting to me. I can't help but think that an avalanche of information is under our finger tips, that we can't appreciate because we don't possess the senses to even know it exists. Our human bodies are so finite. We can't know, what isn't known and therefor we all make decisions based on beliefs. I marvel at the creativity of our physical world and how it was all created from 3 basic atomic particles (protons, electrons, and neutrons) and the differences in all matter is just due to variances in the numbers of these particles. It feels like a physical world, but in reality it's all energy and in various states of stability. But by simply using any or all of my 5 senses, I wouldn't know this. When I contemplate your question, I see it is ultimately a catch 22. And more accurately, it is a question of perspective, ultimately as stated above, a belief. By observing natural law, one cannot disprove that God or Satan exists, if God and Satan are supernatural. In addition, if you were to observe an act of God on our physical world by a natural venue, and you do not believe He exists, would you not explain it away by natural means? Perspective matters in how you interpret what information you receive. What if the hand of God reaches into our world daily, but we don't recognize it because we don't have the right perspective? The same question for physical presence of evil. Does that mean it wasn't there?
