Evidence for religion

"Heart = emotion"
For you, this may be true - for me 'heart' is more like what allows me to be present with emotions...beyond denial or reaction.
In other words, for me, 'heart' is a way of freedom. I find this enjoyable. And appreciate that this may not be how others see it or even use the word heart. Words are funny things - in that we can often assume that we use them in the same way as another. So much potential for misunderstandings this way, when really folk are trying to say the same thing

A heart is nothing more than a muscle that pumps blood around the body, anything regarding feelings/emotions etc etc comes from the brain... That is an undeniable fact..

Well, basically I'm putting context to you questioning my previous point of.... Why?
You said: 'how can you have a why from a falsehood'
I took it that you interpreted this as a proof of a higher being, kind of argument, whereas far from it.
I'm merely pointing to the fact that science won't answer the question that will always be there after everything else is explained.

Some people think that's evidence. Actually it's not. It's lack of understanding on our part, that's all.

People don't like that void, but it's just the way it is.

it was my point that there is no evidence for a higher being, so why would you leave the why to something that has little to no fact

I think we're in agreement, but the question why still remains.
Why a big bang? If beforehand there was nothing, which in itself is an impossible concept for most brains to conceive of.
Religion doesn't answer this with any evidence other than there must be a higher power.
Science doesn't offer any explanation either in my opinion, other than a lot of unprovable theories.
If people want to quantify that unknown as God, I don't have a problem with them, but the made up religions that evolve out of that concept are the problem as far as I'm concerned.

I think most of religion can probably be traced back to man trying to express the meaning of the seasons, birth, renewal, death, remembrance.....
basically our lives as a species with self awareness.
I don't think anything before our ascent to dominance on earth is ingrained in our consciousness. There is a gap there that primitive man couldn't explain from observation of his surroundings.

Science is piecing things together slowly backwards, but will never answer all either.

Another arfurclue merchant who writes a lot that basically amounts to nothing.
 
Evidence for God.

Change the sentence to "Evidence for Love" then discuss with your loving partner!

Bearing in mind that there can be two statements used when professing your love.;
"I need you that is why I love you."
"I love you that is why I need you."
