^ exactly. So yea, anyone have the answer??

Hypothetical situation.

Say we have a spacestation and a rocket. The spacestation has a docking port, but at rest, the rocket is too long to fit into the docking port. However, at 90% the speed of light, the rocket will fit inside. When the rocket is traveiling at 90% speed of light the space station appears contracted (from the rocket's point of view), thus making even less room in the docking port for the rocket to fit. So, will the rocket fit?

What causes Deja Vu? (short and to the point )

I'd say AT MOST there is genetic factors that COULD determine flexibility with your sexuality. Different levels of different chemicals or something.

I just responded to what you said. More males would support it being a social behavior, and less of a genetic behavior. What % of the rats exhibited homosexual behavior?

Sorry, but this indicates nothing about a genetic component to homosexuality. :lame: If it were genetic, why wouldn't two male rats be homoesexual? And you've yet to make a valid against evolution eliminating genetic homosexuality.

What causes me to twitch when I sleep in class? At home I sleep fine, but whenever I fall to sleep in class or in the car, I wake up because of violent twitches. It usually feels like something menacing is about to happen, like i'm about to fall or something. Then I wake up! I'm sure there is a neurological reason for this, but its annoying, especially when I get wierd looks from people sitting next to me in class. It only happens when I fall asleep in the car or in class.

I never commented on your horomonal point because its more valid than a genetically inherited sexual orientation; which I disagree with. . I said "Well its certainly not genetic" To which you responded: So I made a case for the evolutionary incompatibility of genetic homosexuality.

You didn't win anything because the arguments not over. You sidestepped the issue and claimed victory. Its not the same thing with homosexuality, which was my argument. :flame:

..are contributing to our obesity problem.

I'd say a lack of a healthy diet, stress, and laziness are contributing to our obesity problem.

Obese people reproduce too!

Lemme guess, its on a collision course with earth? ::snicker:: wheres adam?

neureal.com has 100MB of space and 2GB transfer for $3.95 monthly. I know they're pretty reliable, but its not the space your'e looking for. Other than that, I don't have any suggestions :/

lol. Highschool understanding of evolution. Spare me! You mean my intro to biology understanding In all seriousness, as far as I understand it, its all about reproductive success. Dwarfs can reproduce, they're just rare. Achnodroplasia is rare is because of natural selection. People who are not affected are homozygous recessive, and unless they reproduce with a dwarf, will not produce one. This results in most of the alleles being removed from the population. ----- Still however, if gene "A" even indirectly affects it, and a carrier of gene "A" fails to reproduce, gene "A" will slowly decline, even though it doesn't have a direct effect. Take for example red blood cells. People with normal red blood cells are susceptible to malaria. Normal RBCs don't CAUSE malaria, but they cause a person to be more suceptible to its symptoms. Someone who catches malaria with normal RBCs is more likely to die as a child before reproducing. However, people with sickle cell anemia are more likely to survive malaria as a child and live to reproductive age. Although sickle cell anemia is definatly not a GOOD trait to have, it allows the person to reproduce and pass his genes on. After awhile people with normal RBCs will become more and more rare in areas where malaria is rampant. This is a case where we see a gene that makes one more SUCEPTIBLE to something become more and more rare. If there is a gene that makes someone SUCEPTIBLE to homosexuality, then it will become rare, if not eliminated.

Yes, but it all comes down to reproductivity. Bottom line, a homosexual is less likely to reproduce than a heterosexual, and therefore the heterosexual takes evolutionary preference.

Yes, but cancer and alzheimers don't typically affect reproductivity because they usually occur after the peak reproductive age. Diabetes is probably alot more common now days because of poor dietary habbits.

Check out this thread here Always be wary of deals that are too good to be true!

Well its certainly not genetic

I'll post more on this later, but there is some theory that it targeted the homosexual population. Someone gave me a video on it one time, it was very informative. Explained both sides of the argument, and it seemed both sides had valid points. I'll try to dig up some info.

Interesting thought, Aman. Very interesting. Be back later, I need to go think on that.

In under 10,000 years we went from the first written languages to the internet. Technology is an exponential gain. Look at whats happened within the last 150 years. We went from riding horses to riding to the moon. Cars, flight, medicine, computers, the internet, phones, CDs, DVDs, televisions -- just to name a small few.

Only you would celebrate a 3 month anniversairy.
