Stop it Pickles

Hi Scotty,I understand how how you could think that and it is wrong to plagiarize. The reason didn't write the response myself was because his post ticked me off. I was mad because his post was arrogant and also demonstrated extremely ignorance of what epigentics is , its history and how it is...

That is what epigenesis is about. The environment can change your genes or how your genes are expressed. It used to be called Lamarckian evolution and it became out of favor until recently. So the answer to the question of Nurture versus Nature could be yes- That nurture can affect nature. I...

Pickles the whole debate with you isn't about the subject at hand. Your goal was to try and embarrass me rather than discuss the issue. It really is never about the science, it is always personal with you. Your goal is to destroy me in any way possible. It is true that I didn't feel like...

This is an easy to understand article from Time about epigentics. It explains nature versus nuture which relates to the thread. This basically refutes your notion that epigenetics is old settled science. I can show you the latest literature is you wish stronger evidence.

I did not say epigentics was new and my understanding of it is just fine. What is new is we underestimated its importance. It is not a well defined understood process -sorry. Here is the definition of epigenetics: Epigentices is one example of where routinely evolution fails to explain biology...

I messed up. I left out the word not. I meant to say that it should not interfere with a persons right to have a civil union. I was in a hurry and said exactly the opposite of what I intended.

Where did you copy that from?We found the first genetic switch in the 60's by Fancois Jacob and Jacques Monod. They found that when a certain bacteria was grown in glucose in couldn't process lactose but when they grew in the presence of lactose without glucose then the bacteria would process...

I believe that same sex attraction is very real. I don't know it is nature, nurture or a combination of both.Epigenetics is a very interesting subject that describes changes in genes expression unrealted to DNA. We know almost nothing about it and it turning the world of Biology upside down...

I believe that gays can have equal dignity in relationship called "civil union". I think the dignity of the gay coupling is more dependent upon the acceptance of the coupling by society rather than the name describing it.

I think Christian churches will be fine but Christian organization and Charities will be significantly affected.

My eyes are going bad and I mis read spell check.

IMHO marriage will be a relic in the future and done mostly by religious institutions. Marriage will be replace by some kind of binding contract between those involved. It will not discriminate between any kind of sexual relationship. It will simply be a vehicle to insure rights, privileges...

I know gays that are now straight and visa versa. Who knows if is nature or nurture or a combination.Here is an interesting video about gay identical twins.: .

I am sorry but I had a hard time understand the first link. I also do not know if the quote was just a snap shot in time or things changed later. This is from wiki. As did other philosophies and religions of the time,[24] increasingly influential Christianity promoted marriage for procreative...
