Can science explain why we humans have feelings???Why when we someone suffering,we feel pity??
You may as well ask why we see the colour blue. What in the world do you think neuroscience is all about?
If you are asking how emotions evolved, the simplest way to answer your question is to imagine for yourself what would have happened without them. The causality should seem clear from there. Primates are inherently social for their own survival, and if circumstances select for more complex social traits, the species is set down a path of acquiring the emotions we are so familiar with.
It is no more complicated than the evolution of fingers. If it works, it stays. If it continues to work, it continues to stay.

By the way the topic is:Where is god in diablo,not where is god in REAL-LIFE!!!
If you read the original post, that is actually not the topic, although I understand how the title could give you that impression.

the only thing science hasnt managed to completely explain is female orgasm
i guess women and god are what we'll never understand
anyway, there's one thing believing in whoever God you decide to believe and another to believe to what the "leaders" of "His" church say.
The biggest crimes against humanity happened because of religious fanaticism. Think of the crusades, the jihad and more. Did God ask for it? No. We have no idea what God wants or even if he exists. What we know is that people take advantage of the faith we (or some) have to manipulate their will and control their actions.
If you mean female ejaculation, that is indeed about as mysterious as the Big Bang.
Female orgasms, though, are very well understood.
what you said even more, but even the orgasm isnt quite well understood (at least as a function).
Its more than just "the pleasure" that would "lure" the species to reproduce. The feeling you're tired also is well explained (for the females mostly since the way we stand/walk doesnt help the sperm to remain where it should). But the feeling is still a mystery. Especially since its much stronger than male orgasm (and apparently us males are more interested in it than females anyway).
anyway, point is the fact the world exists (as with the female orgasm) is a mystery thats impossible for man to solve. :cool:
And now I retire from this never ending thread of argument over religion, I know God exists and that my church is true, so I have no need to argue over religion.
Please don't use my comment to fuel the flames.

Why in the world would you announce something so bizarre if you don't want it to be responded to?
Such declaration is counter to the objective of hiding. Did you play hide-and-seek as a child by closing your eyes, sticking your fingers in your ears, and repeating 'la la la' to drown out the seeker? Or maybe just telling them, 'please don't find me'.

LOL how did an argument about God's existence in the Diablo Universe turn into sex talk??

This is actually on topic. If you read the OP, the thread is not just about in Diablo, but in our world. And the female orgasm is still not completely understood, and therefore another thing people will point to that 'proves' the existance of God.

Okay so because I dont believe in god I cant say "hallelujah" when in an extremely euphoric mentally ill state of mind?
I think I can because I also joked around saying things like "hail satan!" so I think saying both cancels eachother out.
well you said no god was involved so i would assume you would want to not but i was mistaken

If the religion in schools argument is still going on heres my take.
There are no morals in society or in schools today. Every other word is a curse word, females wear clothes so small or revealing they might as well not wear pants or shorts. (skirts/tiny shorts) Children's minds are tainted (any word or phrase can be twisted so it pertains to sex). Middle schools give out free condoms, I mean come on middle school!
If religion was in schools these things would be less prevalent, (at least if the one I belonged to was)
BUT, I do not believe religion should be in schools, I believe parents should be teaching their kids BETTER MORALS.
Society in general could be taught a few things also. PG-13s are now as bad or worse than rated R movies.
All these things have now been deemed acceptable in society.
Basically, Satan is doing his job quite well.

The morals and outlook of today's youth have become more worrisome. While I was blessed to be raised in a well off community and never had serious family problems (other than an extremely bitchy mom), this is not the case for most of the youth in America. Most Americans are brought up in broken homes, and with more than a 50% divorce rate (as well as illegitimate pregnancies), young boys are brought up without a positive role model and support from a father figure.
The whole 'sexy' movement is a fad and imo, should not be viewed as such an evil. Yes a line has to be drawn and parents must tell their little girls that by dressing in a scantily clad way, that they are sending out signals that they are sexually assertive (which is generally a bad idea for those<14). It is Christianity in the first place that has chastised sex and the human body in our society (think about all those naked sculptures the Vatican castrated). Sex should be considered a beautiful and great thing, and not kept hidden and ignored by the parents, leading their kids to experiment to figure it out for themselves. And because of social things like the parental neglect, kids WILL have unprotected sex at a young age and possibly ruin their lives. The abstinence only policy given by the church is not going to stop this and so protection must be handed out if needed. I'm tired of people scapegoating things like Britney Spears or rap music or Marilyn Manson for things that are deeper, social problems that need to be adressed as a household, and nation.

I'm not fanatical, I just have strong beliefs. I don't go out on the streets shouting to beware temptation or anything like that. And sex can be a beautiful thing if between a man and woman and within the bonds of marriage. And the things about Britney Spears and stuff, I don't follow that crap, its worthless how people worship and obsess over hollywood. (not saying that you do, just how others do)
