Well, there are some rather important glands called the ad-*renal* glands
that surely do have a lot to do with our emotions. I have been floored
enough times when I have taken a naive approach to scripture to learn not to
be too quick to decide what the authors knew and didn't know. The
illustration I used earlier about the rabbit chewing his cud was another
example where the "experts" naivete left them looking foolish.
