Can you prove that love exists?
The title of this thread is my argument to people who say can you prove that psi exists. My feeling is that when we prove love or psi exists we will be a lot closer to proving that the other one exists.
If that makes sense. :lol:

One could simply look at the hormonal responses humans, and animals, can have for one another...so yes, it really depends on your definition, because love can also apply to loving your friends, family, not just your "love" for your girlfriend(or boyfriend...or whatever) :-P

you could use hate as an example as well but the common one in this sort of debate is Love, besides it is a nicer example.

only because it's considered more socially acceptable. In my opinion negative emotions are just as much part of being human as positive ones, though some may disagree.
and this argument is worthless, seeing as love is an emotion, and therefore felt, thus it must exist. It's like asking, can you prove that happiness exists? um, have you ever been happy? if the answer is yes, then happiness must indeed exist.

Winged_Wolf:
Yes, and you can pinpoint the activity in the brain that generates these emotions.
Pinpointing activity in the brain responsible for psi has proven much more difficult.
