Let me turn that question around: can chemists currently explain all about love, or attraction in general? Can they even explain part of it?

If your answer to both questions is "no", as mine is, then I don't think we should say that "it's all chemistry" (or even "mostly chemical"). I mean, I understand that what people mean by that is that there are probably natural causes for attraction. That's a reasonable assumption, but, by itself, it teaches us little that we didn't already know.
