Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

If you're going to disagree with something, make sure you're not throwing tomatoes at a strawman."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

"credible".

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostHe has the only hypothesis that isn't idiotic on its face so far, which is a lot better than the "it's genetic" retrds whose hypothesis has been disproved.
Let's see you do better. Also what does homophobia have to do with this? Are you claiming it's impossible for homosexuality to be caused by a pathogen? It seems to me you much prefer discussing people to actual arguments, like a hundred year old church lady who fills up her days with gossip while waiting to die.
The homophobia arises from using such terms as disorders and pathology to describe a normal, permanent aspect of human variation. Just because a variation is in the minority doesn't make it pathological. That was the purpose of the handedness comment, by the way. There was a time, within living memory, when being left-handed WAS regarded as a disorder to be cured. Hopefully, the sinisterphobes have vanished.

Originally posted by lilpixieoferror View PostI'm sorry Phank, but insulting an entire belief system for your dislike of one person is the very definition of intolerance and bigotry. Don't worry though, perhaps if you act more smug and self satisfied than you already have; you're hatred in action will manage to disappear into a puff of smoke.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostLeft handedness doesn't lead to bloody colons, AIDS epidemics, raping teenagers and a slew of other mental and social issues as far as I know. Though the incovenience is probably enough that it can be cured with a trivial treatment there's no reason not to do it.
