Emotions in the brain have been shown to be the result chemical reactions alone.
However, I do not believe that it accounts for the conscious perception of those emotions.

Emotions Chemical Reaction Brain - Google Search
Just look around. Meanwhile, I will try to find a decent article explaining in depth these things.
I got this book once called "the GOD gene". It explained religious experiences as just chemical reactions in the brain. It didn't prove God or disprove it, it just said about how religious experience is implanted in our genetic code and crap. So either God could have built this in (which is what I think), or the bullshit theory did it. You know the evolution theory.
Your probably better off getting full-length books than just random crap off the internet. They have alot of information and explain things in depth, unless you can find a decent e-book on the net.

Good point, Guidosoft.
Thanx. I am working on reading that PDF document btw. Interesting, but so far I see nothing that actually explains consciousness, just some interesting relationships.
