*Sigh*

Scientific method

"Since Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen, 965–1039), a pioneer of scientific method, the emphasis has been on seeking truth"

2008 - 1039 = 969

*sigh* I am not trying to undermine the scientific method, I am merely pointing out the flaws in peer-reviewed scientific journals. here is an outstanding example of outright fraud published by peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Yes, and that's one case of fraud out of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of successful cases of peer review.

Learning how to research good sources is an important skill, if you one lacks it, it would be very difficult to hold down many white collar jobs, or get through many college courses.SIapshot
Ad hominem. Make your argument.

I did, it's caused by hormonal changes or genetics, and your sources are unreliable, that's not ad hominem, that's fact.

One, two, ten, exactly how many would it require to demonstrate a flaw in peer-reviewed science?

It is interesting to note that every civilization that's ever accepted this had been wiped out...America, I believe, if it keeps this up, will be added to the list, as well.
Also, in the Bible, the cities Sodom and Gommorrah were destroyed greatly in part because of things like this.

[QUOTE="murlow12"][QUOTE="Ring_of_fire"]Not all gay men are effeminant, don't generalize a whole group of people. Oriental_Jams

By definition, a man having sex with another man is effeminant. It's an act that only a woman naturally takes on.

Then how come numerous animals also show homosexual activity?

I'm kind of sick of discussing this ad nauseum, but I'll give you the abbreviated version. In the animal kingdom it is a sign of dominance and power, not a sexual act for pleasure. Think of it like violent rape in prison. Please do your research.

The genetic basis of animal homosexuality has been studiedin certain species of flies. Here, multiple genes have been identified that can cause homosexual courtship and mating. These genes are thought to control behavior through pheromones as well as altering the structure of the animal's brains. These studies have also investigated the influence of environment on the likelihood of flies displaying homosexual behavior.

Well I'm more interested in homosexual acts in chimpanzees, which actually resemble us genetically. Flies tell me nothing about homosexuality in humans.

[QUOTE="murlow12"][QUOTE="Ring_of_fire"]Please make the choice to be gay Get into a gay relationship for more than 5 years. Then, maybe you'll understand it isn;t a choice, because you can't do it MindFreeze

Of course I could do it. Just like I could go out and rob a bank, or have sex with a goat, or murder someone. All of those are choices I could make, and just because I choose not to do them b/c I know they're wrong doesn't mean I'm genetically predisposed not to do them.

Ofcourse you could do it. That's not the point. The point is that you could never be ATTRACTED to the person because you aren't homosexual. That's what it's about, not your ability to have a sexual relationship with someone of the same sex, but that you need to be born a certain way to be attracted to the person.

Attraction has nothing to do with it. Every straight man has different taste in women. Does it make me gay b/c I'm not attracted to Cameron Diaz or Julia Roberts and someone else is? Of course not. It's about procreation, not attraction. And gays just can't do it.

This is not a discussion of taste. It's about being attracted to either the same or opposite sex. If you are truly straight, you would never feel sexually attracted to any guy. Now the "challenge" is to, as a straight guy, try to become sexually attracted to another guy. It's not possible. You can pretend, and you can be sexually active with that person, but you'll never actually be chemically attracted to him/her. Making sense yet?

I understand what you're trying to say, it's just a ridiculous argument.

I really wish people would get off the debate of whether or not homosexuality is nature or nurtion. It would be all well-and-fine if people were looking to be more educated on the subject, however, that is not the case. Both sides, in general, use it as excuse to support their side of the debate. Distraction from the issue, in all honesty.

What is ridiculous about it? It just proves that you cannot change your chemical attraction, and further proves it is not a choice to be gay

From Wikipedia (it may be nasty, but you asked):

"Bonobo males frequently engage in various forms of male-male genital sex (frot). One form has two males hang from a tree limb face-to-face while penis fencing. Frot may also occur where two males rub their penises together while in missionary position. A special form of frot called "rump rubbing" occurs to express reconciliation between two males after a conflict, where they stand back-to-back and rub their scrotal sacs together."

"Bonobo females also engage in female-female genital sex to socially bond with each other, thus forming a female nucleus of Bonobo society."

Also:

Male penguin couples have been documented to mate for life, build nests together, and to use a stone as a surrogate egg in nesting and brooding.

This argument has become so predictable. Anyway, read this for some insight:

I know, it's from another "hate group" :roll" but it's got some pretty valuable info in there.

The more I see the religious attack homosexuality using the "God/bible says so/" and "Its not natural/is a choice" (blah blah) excuses, the more I lose faith in their intelligence.Cedmln
You may be surprised to learn that I agree with this completely. As Christians, we can't rely solely on a book that those that we're arguing with don't acknowledge as valid. In order to be taken seriously, we need to provide more than that. Funny thing though, every time a Christian group comes out with a study or some new evidence, liberals and "intellectuals" call them a "hate group" and refuse to acknowledge their work.

So what it's gonna be? Should we argue the Bible, which you ignore, or should we argue science, which you also ignore?

Ironically, my sources included a scientist on the Human Genome Project, the results of which have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

And every single source I present is straight from a medical or scientific journal/study. Since you seem to have missed my last two posts on the subject, I'll try again:

-Finger length ratio, a characteristic controlled by prenatal hormones, is different in people of distinct sexual orientations

-Auditory systems in the brain were found be larger in homosexual men than in heterosexual men

-The fraternal birth order effect is the strongest known predictor of sexual orientation. According to several studies, each older brother increases a man's odds of developing a homosexual sexual orientation by 28%–48%

-Gay men have, on average, have larger penises

-Gay men's brains respond differently to fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

-Three regions of the brain (medial prefrontal cortex, left hippocampus, and right amygdala) are more active in gay men than non-gay men when exposed to sexually arousing material.

-Gay and non-gay people emit different armpit odors

-Gay men are more likely to have a counter-clockwise hair whorl pattern

-Gay people are significantlymorelikely to be left-handed or ambidextrous than are straight people

-Gay men may receive higher scores than non-gay men on tests of object location memory

Peer review isn't perfect, but it is nessasary for a source to be credible.

and that reasoning doesn't make sence, are you saying a person should be able to cite anything no matter how terrible, and anybody saying that's not a good source should just accept it? That's ridiculous.

Links, or it didn't happen, dude.

Anyway, get married doesn't mean procreate. The having_children_being_gay is another topic. I mean, nobody's gonna get hurt if a guy go out with another guy...

[QUOTE="murlow12"][QUOTE="Ring_of_fire"]Please make the choice to be gay Get into a gay relationship for more than 5 years. Then, maybe you'll understand it isn;t a choice, because you can't do it Erinye_

Of course I could do it. Just like I could go out and rob a bank, or have sex with a goat, or murder someone. All of those are choices I could make, and just because I choose not to do them b/c I know they're wrong doesn't mean I'm genetically predisposed not to do them.

Ofcourse you could do it. That's not the point. The point is that you could never be ATTRACTED to the person because you aren't homosexual. That's what it's about, not your ability to have a sexual relationship with someone of the same sex, but that you need to be born a certain way to be attracted to the person.

Attraction has nothing to do with it. Every straight man has different taste in women. Does it make me gay b/c I'm not attracted to Cameron Diaz or Julia Roberts and someone else is? Of course not. It's about procreation, not attraction. And gays just can't do it.

This is not a discussion of taste. It's about being attracted to either the same or opposite sex. If you are truly straight, you would never feel sexually attracted to any guy. Now the "challenge" is to, as a straight guy, try to become sexually attracted to another guy. It's not possible. You can pretend, and you can be sexually active with that person, but you'll never actually be chemically attracted to him/her. Making sense yet?

I understand what you're trying to say, it's just a ridiculous argument.

What is ridiculous about it? It just proves that you cannot change your chemical attraction, and further proves it is not a choice to be gay

You say it's not possible, I say it is possible. We can both come up with scientific studies to support our position. You convince yourself that people that have changed sexual orientation are "pretending"; I say it's legitimate.

The main issue is procreation, which all of you liberals seem to be avoiding.

gays can procreate, haven't you ever heard of artificial ensemation or seragate mothers?

Links, or it didn't happen, dude.

Anyway, get married doesn't mean procreate. The having_children_being_gay is another topic. I mean, nobody's gonna get hurt if a guy go out with another guy...

Artificial ensemination is pretty much common knowledge that it exists.....same with surrogate mothers.....

Exactly. They'll turn their kids gay and pretty soon they'll convert the entire world over to their perverse religion of gayness.

The behavior of some Christians in here is disgusting and repulsive. Dear God, no wonder we're stereotyped as redneck idiots.

Also you guys should get back on topic. The topic of allowing gay marriage has nothing to do with whether or not gays choose to be gay or are born that way. Marriage is not owned by religion, so the idea that homosexuality is wrong because of Christian dogma is irrelevant.

I think it should be allowed in legal terms but I don't accept it in Biblical terms. But on that note I also don't think Biblical marriage should be any of the government's business. Why can't they just honor separation of Church and State?!

Somehow secularism is equated as being atheism with most theocratic folks, as if one has to be an atheist to oppose sharia law. lol
