Krom- //Go on then prove them wrong [pro-gay theories] with your dizzying intellect. I'll take them over "old man on the internet" unless you can back up your point. // You're very welcome- I am not trying to make any "point" as such, simply endorsing very basic biology.
//The sibling correlation, for example, is very difficuly to deny. How do you explain it? // If you're referring to the Brock study, this is an isolated study carried out on a very limited number of people and is certainly not conclusive. As the New Scientist points out "the team’s study only looked at a very small number of people, so strong conclusions CANNOT be drawn yet. The significance of this preliminary observation, IF it can be replicated, is that it identifies specific molecules in the brain that may be important for heterosexual as well as homosexual development,” says Dean Hamer, a pioneer of researching the biological determinants of sexual orientation. The finding “COULD pave the way to a detailed neurobiological and genetic understanding of this fascinating aspect of human development”, he says. "- (my capitalisation).
//The idea that babies are pre-wired by nature to be "gay" is absolutely illogical as it would spell the end of a species.//
Krom- //Only if 100% of babies were. If a small proportion are born that way, though, it can actually benefit the herd because it gives them a collective advantage in child-rearing. // The same way that it benefits the "herd" if a certain number are heterosexual females? And as for small proportion, some would argue that the proportion of homosexuals in society is anything but! :)
