We are only barely starting to understand the complex molecular processes of life.
Do not forget compared to what we know there is an infinity of unknown.
My lust for things whether sexual, food or bright shiny things cannot be pointed to by reductionist means.
To denigrate any attempts at a rational elucidation of what makes us tick is both pointless and absurd.
I prefer to think that the whole of our 'reality' is even stranger than we can imagine. As a devout atheist I think that the devil dodgers have at least got one thing correct. This is that at some fundamental level such as quantum mechanics and what we do not yet know everything is connected.
What we see as complexity could just be the eddies in some cosmic lattice of so called order.
It is up to us to try and discover what is real. Making up fairy tales leads nowhere. Only science based evidence that is peer reviewed works.
