I think it is important to remember that mutations alone are not the only mechanisms within evolution. Sexual selection (non-random mating), genetic drift, and speciation, for example, all drive change throughout time as well. Mutations alone can't explain the vast amount of change that has occured ...

August, Out of curiosity, what qualifications must someone have to be sufficient for judgement of something being or not being scientific? What qualifications must someone have to convince you that they know what they are talking about scientifically? Please don't misunderstand this question as bein...

Because I am honestly curious, where does it explicitly say in the Bible that is is a sin to be homosexual? The reason I say explicitly is because the Bible is a work of literature and therefore open to interpretation, no matter who you are. However, there are explicit statements (the 10 Commandment...

I actually think that the Gaia Hypothesis is a fairly healthy way to look at the Earth and our lives here. If we viewed ourselves as one with the Earth, then when we hurt the Earth (which we do all the time) we hurt ourselves. I believe this thought would improve our ideas and distortions regarding ...

I am wondering why other peoples' affairs, meaning homosexuality in this case, are anyone else's business? Why do people who are not homosexual care if anyone else is? Are homosexuals doing you harm? How can someone else's homosexuality affect you in any way? What happened to people minding their ow...

Well, I guess being vain was always something undesirable... I thought one of the points of Christianity was to be humble and realize that you really DON'T know everything. Also, I am not an atheist. However, I am a biologist and I am sure the two are synonymous to some people. I will address the ot...

Well Kurieuo, regarding the discussions about homosexuality, heaven and hell... I was merely responding to questions of other posters who claim to be Christian. Again, maybe some of the posters here should be enlightened to what it actually means to be a Christian. I grew up in a Christian church an...

Judah, I completely agree with you that the practices are physically harmful, and yes, the paper did highlight that quite graphically. My point of address, was that it just didn't show that homosexuality itself (as in, having an attraction to the same gender) was harmful at all. Practices associated...

Judah, I am writing in response to the paper that you posted. I read it and I have a few criticisms, along with areas in which I agree with the author. First, I will agree with him on the fact that gay people tend to be promiscuous. I don't think anyone can argue that... I have a few gay friends and...

But what I am questioning is, How is it wrong? How is being attracted to individuals of your same gender wrong? As long as you are discussing heaven and hell... I would also like to know how religious authorities who abuse their power (i.e. by molesting children, etc.) could still going to heaven, y...

Well, in response to that... I would like to know, Kmart, how you feel you are the object of authority on the matter and have the ability to say whether it is right or wrong. Isn't that a little vain of you? So, your argument is based on YOUR opinion as well. I have no problem listening to people ma...
