I would hope that we could have a rational discourse and civil conversation rather than an argument. I cannot imagine what you would find objectionable about my post other than the categorization of Sexual Preference of same sex individuals as a genetic mutation?

I guess Sexual Preference is the wrong wording since in the majority of people it is not a "choice".

I do not get it

Is this an attempt to make fun of President Barack Obama who graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard and was the President of the Harvard Law Review?

Or is this an attempt to make fun of the incredible number of scientific contributions that the United State has given to the world?

Or do you just hate apples?

Sometimes mutations provide NO benefit in a given environment BUT they do NOT provide any Negative traits either. SO procreation carries on and that trait is passed on as a neutral trait.

The "Problem" as you call it is Evolution.

Evolution is simply a Mutation doing the job better in a given environment. Most "Defective" births are just mutations. It just shows us how many mutations come about that are not suited to our environment.

Then once in every huge pile of worthless mutations comes a mutation that is hella beneficial to our environment.

Take "Daniel Tammet" as an example. He was born with a mutation in his brain that enables him to perform "Synesthesia" as well as having a very powerful photographic memory.

He also has something that we consider to be a negative mutation known as "Asperger's syndrome". This makes it VERY difficult for him to participate in our social structure that is deeply relationship interdependent.

Again another mutation that he has is something known as "Homosexuality". He has an attraction to men thusly preventing him from reproducing with his desired partner and passing on his genes.

He has an incredible mind. His ability to learn the world's most difficult languages in less than a week is incredible. He has the European record for memorizing Pi the the farthest out digit. I would kill for a memory as powerful as his.

It just needs to be worded differently

1 Zero divided by 1 Zero = 1 Zero

0/0=0

If you split nothing by an amount of nothing you get nothing

I don't really even know what you are saying here. Are you trying to say that you don't remember playing when you were a child? That you didn't have friends that were female?
What exactly are you trying to say?

That examples of your experiences in your life cannot be used as examples?

Yes I know this. It can relate to amoeba or whatever the life form was that first developed separate sexes. Not Being identical helps to prohibit competition and encourage teamwork among separate sexes.

Or so it would seem to me.

Have yall ever heard of the "Baby X" experiments?

http://www.springerlink.com/content/p88566041u435g96/

Abstract The present study investigated adult behavior while interacting with a three-month-old infant under conditions in which the child was introduced as a boy, as a girl, or with no gender information given. Gender labels did not elicit simple effects, but rather interacted significantly with the sex of the subject on both toy usage and physical contact measures. There was a stronger tendency for both male and female adults to utilize sex-stereotyped toys when the child was introduced as a girl. Most of the findings, however, reflected a differential response of men and women to the absence of gender information. In this condition, male subjects employed a neutral toy most frequently and handled the child least; in contrast, females used more stereotyped toys and handled the child more. All subjects attempted to guess the gender of the child (with ldquoboyrdquo guesses more frequent, although the child was actually female) and all justified their guess on the basis of stereotyped behavioral or physical cues like strength or softness.
This research was supported by Grant No. OCD-CB-151 from the Office of Child Development, Phyllis A. Katz, Principal Investigator.

I came to LOVE toy guns, violence, building stuff and taking stuff apart, making tree forts etc. I had many female friends and female play partners. Even when we were alone without the influence of parental objection they RARELY wanted to play the same types of games. It was NOT bias from society influencing the females choices, it was simply genetics.

Men and Women are Hardwired differently. It seems that we inherited these predetermined preferences from our ancestors. Perhaps it has been around as long as since when our ancient ancestors first had a split in their genetic line that gave them two separate sexes.

Being A Sexual does not have the benefit of the diversity of exchanging genetic code as having two separate sexes does.

Maybe when splitting the species into two sexes the ones that had the highest survival chance were the ones that did not compete with each other?

Lets face it if all women were as aggressive as men and had the same interests we would probably have wiped ourselves out along time ago.

Perhaps it is just that Women do not find Math and Science interesting or exciting?

I am willing to hypothesize that if you offered 100 women a guaranteed job with the same paying salary of being

1) A Model
2) An Actress
3) A Scientist

that 99/100 of those women would pick 1 or 2

-Method of Religious Discovery-

1. Pray to God to give you a question

2. Gather information and resources (observe) through God's Will

3. Form hypothesis with God's help

4. Perform experiment and collect data For God

5. Analyze data because God Wills it

6. Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis and praise God

7. Publish results in religious articles

8. Retest (frequently done by other Religious Believers)

There, I changed it for you. Is this what you were looking for?
