Do you believe in evolution?

Random thought: Do you think Mother Nature is turning more and more people gay through the decades to help control the population increases? Is it part of evolution or has there always been this many gay people in the world but everyone was in the closet?

Discuss.

Evolution doesn't work that way.

This. Nature doesn't even work that way!

but what about MOTHER nature?

gets a regular pounding by father jackpotclown every other friday.

Are you the "do dogs have brains" girl? I love your work.

Evolution is a circle of life. Do you not remember the story of a cub named Simba? If you don't, you've clearly never read Bible and have no room to talk about evolution.

Evolution is right there in the old testiment people! Hercules was a monkey and the reason he had sex with his mother. As per science, it was spartans that were the first to turn humans from monkeys. The science is all there, I don't understand how anyone can deny these facts!.

Please, give science a chance and read about how In Ancient United States of America vampires were hunted to mate with sabertooths to create the superior human beings we see now.

LOL I'm sorry, what?

How can you start a thread about this debate when you can't even understand the hard facts I'm telling you of?

"I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me"

My, my "ignore user" button is getting a lot of use today.

OP, while your question was a) offensive and b) idiotic, I shall answer. Yes I believe in evolution. There have always been gay people and there will always be gay people. We're just out of our closets and proud to, finally, join society without having to lie or repress who we are.

That's not how evolution works.

Based on the question, I would have to say that you don't fully understand natural selection.

Read The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins.

The funny thing about natural selection is that there isn't any "selection" going on. There is no Mother Nature that is making decisions on what to do or not do. What happens is by chance, the choice is based on which conditiion is more suitable to the environment.

The question to ask would be what is changing in the environment that makes sexual preference either change or become more visible or more accepted or whatever. If that is the question, then my answer is that we, as a society, are becoming more accepting of it and it is leading to a growth in individuals being honest about who they are.

Ahhhhhhh, another thread to help kill time at work :drinker:

Well put.

There have always been homosexual people.

It has nothing to do with population control - I know several gay people who have kids and several people whose birth parents are gay. And no it's not because they were surroogates or the like, they tried living a "normal" life (because that's what was expected or other such circumstances), got married, had kids and then came out years later.
