Firstly, nice plug of your blog, together with a topic that is emotionally engaging for quite a few people...
my simply question: What does science have to do with it? And are you talking about, science ( the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment) or the nature of "scientific proof"(basically, providing opportunity for falsification through prediction), which in itself is an oxymoron.
Truth be told, our definition of science does not apply to this. And why are we so obsessed with science anyway, it is as if the unambiguous nature of science and maths is our new religion to compare anything to.
LoA is a metaphor that works for some people incredibly well. For others it might be NLP, or shamanics, or EMDR, or psychology (oh yes, that ain't a science either), psychiatry (=pharmacology), Reiki, Sound Therapy,.... whatever helps someone feel empowered and able to change things in their life is valid FOR THEM. That is all that matters, what works for the individual.
How about this:
Love is a con. I want scientific proof of this "Love" thing. Not hyperbole, coincidence and instincts because they are meaningless in the great scheme of things.
