Started by Andrew Yates · 9 months ago

    Seems like everyone wants to find only whatever fits their personal opinion.Real facts are overlooked for the sake of whats politically correct.


    Can't we just deal in factual stuff and not make up things that seem like they should be right?

    Chris, what do you consider to be factual stuff? Only what's in the bible? (based on your link to christianjournal.org). Why would you consider this to be made up? Have you read the original paper? If so, you would see that this is not just "made up".

    Well I hear Dr. on the raido speak that done the original gene study,He was hopping mad because everyone grab bits of his findings but not the whole report.They just took what would benefit their view.

    He being a homosexual found no proof of a genetic connection.

    BTW yes the Bible is factual stuff.

    Chris,

    Texts may only describe facts; they are not facts themselves. That's why experimental details and citations are necessary in scientific texts. Then, one may test how well a texts describes reality.

    You are welcome to submit any relevant Biblical text for publication. If an independent party can confirm its physical veracity, we will publish it to your credit. However, if you have something scientifically important to say about the Bible and biology, I recommend submitting it to Nature first (or we will and steal your credit!)

    As I understood that according to Darwin evolution, the genetic factors of homosexual behavior should have been lost during the history of human evolution. Homosexual individuals can not pass their genes down the line. I wonder if that's right?
