No. Feelings are wildly inconsistent from one person to another, and within one person from one moment to the next. Beyond that, there are scientific explanations for feelings (emotional responses) and those explanations are themselves rooted in evidence and experimentation. Witness something like Jesus Camp, where the attendees swear on their lives that they felt God's touch; when in reality those transformative experiences were fully engineered by the camp organizers.

Jesus camp sounds like a terrifying place imho. You are right, emotional responses can be scientifically explained. Thank you for the response.
