That's fine.

What evidence is there that single cell organisms don't experience love?


I would say everything we know from our human experience with love as well as scientific knowledge does not show anything to indicate a single cell organism has the capacity. I can't show it absolutely, but then I tire of the absolutism game. I cannot prove I am not in the matrix in any absolute way either.

Would you say a wolf has less capacity for love of his fellow wolf than man of man?


I would say human experience with the emotion of love is seen with many other animals including wolves, or we at least see similar signs we identify as love.

I have no idea how my 3rd comment refutes the 2nd in any way. Perhaps you could elaborate.

I kind of wondered if you were to tired to see your mistake. Happens to us all.
