How did something with no awareness give rise to something with awareness, do you realize how dumb that sounds? No if we are made of chemicals, and we have awareness, then chemicals have awareness as well.
Look at the similarities, when you form chemical bonds, energy is released, when you form bonds with humans, energy is released. When you break chemical bonds, energy is absorbed, when you break human bonds, you feel like shit.
There's no energy released or absorbed when humans establish relationships with each other, what happens is it triggers our brains to release various neurochemicals that are associated with emotions we perceive positively or negatively.
Also, there are no ways breaking bonds with people can feel fucking amazing, having an enemy leave your life feels like freedom, having an abusive or manipulative relationship end is a wonderful experience.
These are human bonds breaking, these are relationships ending that can be as close as friendships or romantic relationships, in fact, they could even be friendships and romantic relationships.
So even in the poetic sense, your arguments second half falls flat
There's no energy released or absorbed when humans establish relationships with each other
This guy doesn't fuck.
What do you think emotions do? Testosterone, adrenaline, all of these are released as a result of these chemical reactions. The poetic ramifications of the truth are irrelevant, what matters is that physical matter reacts this way. Chemical bonds formed result in energy released, bonds broken require energy, thus broken bonds absorb energy.
Man is a creative force, woman is a destructive force, but woman is more in touch with feelings, we are more in touch with knowledge so we need each other. The balance of the two forces makes you you.
As for the first part, that it takes awareness to create awareness, you seem to have have misconception of what awareness is.
There is no free will, you and everything you are or do, is the result of biological determinism, purely physical.
Your genes are the blueprint of your design, your design includes the way you are affected by any environment you find yourself in.
Your genes determine what you have the potential to be or do, your experiences determine where in this range of potential your being and actions actually end up.
Nature and nurture are not in conflict, they simply fulfill different roles, everything is a mix of both, one which sets the limits on what could be, and the which chooses where within those limits the actuality will occur.
You get no freedom of choice in your choices, your biology and environment are what makes you "you".
Therefore the complex thing that is you came from the many changes evolution made to simpler beings that came before, and those came from even simpler beings, down to the first that were unaware, but alive, and awareness is merely the complex result of simpler unaware components coming together in such a way as to produce this result, and they came to all manner of arrangements, but this one was tge most survivable and reproducible, and before these unaware lifeforms existed, they were a collection of different unliving materials that were binding together under very specific circumstances that occurred in the first years of our planets existence, and they made all sorts of arrangements, randomly, but these, the ones that would ultimately lead to something meeting the definition of life, would be the most survivable and reproducible, and the easiest to create.
All complexity comes from the accumulation of simplistic components, from basic chemicals we get life, from simple life we get aware life, from aware life, we get intelligent life, and from that we get us.
is the result of biological determinism, purely physical.
Implying it was created, so by whom? Or is that a limitation of language?
Im using my language in such a way as to be charitable to the Christians who aren't creationists, and to atheists like Me, who sees only natural processes guided by the laws of nature, and for deists/polydeists, who see their God(s) behind those laws, and for the pantheists, who see these laws as being a part of said God.
