    Why do the genes/gene-sets for homosexuality persist through generations?

    Or do you mean that because a roughly equal percentage of women would be lesbians, therefore any possible social benefit/s of "extra" available females would be negated? If so, various sexologists/psychologists (including Kinsey, I believe) have shown that females in general are bisexual...

    Why do the genes/gene-sets for homosexuality persist through generations?

    Well, yeah, I don't propose to have all the answers. That's why I posted the thread. What I mentioned, yes, only applies to males. But when I get to a keyboard, I will try to flesh it out and try to offer an explanation for female homosexuality as well (though I'd think it would be strongly...

    Why do the genes/gene-sets for homosexuality persist through generations?

    Now, obviously no one has all the answers on this topic. But I'd like to put forth a hypothesis of mine concerning the survival and societal benefits of homosexuality (in a portion of a species' population). If homosexuality persists, generation after generation, then there must be some...

    Gamebooks?

    Has anyone here played/read any (good) gamebooks, especially ones available for iOS/Android? Gamebooks are like the old "Choose Your Own Adventure!" books, except most gamebooks are more complex, with more detailed story lines and choice paths, and they often incorporate various dice rules to...

    Bacteria -------> Human - In One Step - What would this provide support/evidence for/against?

    Well, it's certainly all clear now... :rolleyes:

    Bacteria -------> Human - In One Step - What would this provide support/evidence for/against?

    Because this is something I frequently see get said, both here and elsewhere, and I've never really thought too deeply about it. It's just a fun hypothetical based on the common idea that bacteria jumping to humans would disprove evolution. I contend that it wouldn't necessarily disprove...

    Bacteria -------> Human - In One Step - What would this provide support/evidence for/against?

    The evidence for evolution's factual nature is vast, well-developed, perhaps even overwhelming. I certainly accept the idea's validity. But, hypothetically, if a bacterial cell replicated and produced, for example, a human, would that be evidence against evolution? Would it be evidence for...

    Evolutionism CRUSHED by Creationism

    My Grandmother Just Suffered a Stroke

    Thank you all for the support in this difficult time of my (and my family's) life! I really appreciate it; it means a lot to me that people are compassionate in these matters, even online. She did pass away, just last night. It's been rough, and most of our family, at least those who were...

    My Grandmother Just Suffered a Stroke

    It looks like she's not going to make it, my sister just called. We're going to rush to get there before she's gone. :(

    My Grandmother Just Suffered a Stroke

    My grandmother's health has been deteriorating severely for some time now. She has Alzheimer's, and has been losing her memory as well as generally declining in cognitive functioning. I just got a call, 30mins ago from my mother, and she told me that my grandmother has been taken to the...

    The Nunavut Song - Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie

    (You can skip to the song/lyrics, if you want, the first couple paragraphs are just some background info on Nunavut itself [and some of my thoughts], and the stuff after the song/lyrics is extra info on Nunavut. It's there if you want to read it, but the main point of this thread is the song...

    The Christian Missionary and the Inuit Man

    I think he means that he's asked the "'who's going to hell' question" in threads that are directly about (Christians) judging people (in whatever manner and within the scope of whichever subject), and received the replies he mentioned in his earlier post, which is (to some degree) counter to...

    The Christian Missionary and the Inuit Man

    I find the same, in general. To be clear, it says nothing about those Christians who do not believe in judging non-Christians/others, or those who decide that such is against the "true spirit" of Christianity (such as, according to himself, Mister Emu) - if that's what you believe, more power...

    The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris (Link Between Lips and Labia? Buttocks and Breasts?)

    It's all in how we treat our young, the cultures we/they grow up within, and how we react biologically/physiologically to those cultures/environments. We don't have to be chimpanzees, but our views (or, rather, the views of the majority) on religion, sexuality, childrearing, etc., ultimately...

    The Christian Missionary and the Inuit Man

    lol, Mister Emu, it is, essentially, just a joke, and is not meant to portray an entirely accurate description of Christianity. At the same time, though, it does accurately portray some Christians, whether it portrays the view of the majority or not. I think the main point it illustrates is...

    The Christian Missionary and the Inuit Man

    Good for you, I agree with your views on "spreading the 'Good News'". I agree, it's definitely not a definitive depiction of Christian views. Interesting, thanks for that. I wasn't aware of that particular verse.

    Islam and Alcohol?

    As far as I know, that is what the Qur'an says; alcohol is not labelled haaram (in the text itself). As I said before: "I'm not going to trust an article by an admitted non-Muslim on the matter." I don't know why you felt you needed to say that, as I made it clear that I understood that...

    The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris (Link Between Lips and Labia? Buttocks and Breasts?)

    lol, thanks. I have noticed a trend toward "info bites" as opposed to longer and more detailed articles/books nowadays, at the very least on the internet. I agree. Here's an example suggested by Morris (gelada baboons): The chest of a gelada baboon: The rear of gelada baboons...
