Nice twisting of words. You should be a lawyer.There is no single-celled human organism. A "human being" is a living human organism in the state of being. This is not about what you or I "consider" or "believe" ...Biology is a Science, not a faith. Biology says (not me) that when a zygote reproduces new cells it meets the criteria as an organism. I'm sorry if that is an inconvenient truth for you or if it interferes with your beliefs.

You know are as all knowing about CDZ rules as you know about biology.....Look, DW... this is the CDZ, if you don't have some valid evidence to support arguments and refute what is presented, you need to sit this one out. All you've been doing is throwing your emotive opinions at me and demanding I accept them as facts.
USMB Rules and Guidelines...I know everything in the biology book....
USMB Rules said:"Zone 1": Clean Debate Zone (CDZ) / Introduce Yourself (Welcome Threads): Civil discourse is the focus here, regardless of topic matter. Constructive criticism and debate is the tone. No insulting, name calling, or putting down other posters. Consider it a lesson in Civics.

Since you want me to "sit this one out", I'll do so. It's your call. Have a nice day, sir.

So your proof is from second hand accounts recorded in a book written by illiterate peasants from thousands of years ago? Again, you keep making these huge leaps. Science requires more than two personalized accounts. Try again.
One of the better collections on the subject of 'transgender' issues, and updated as new info comes out.
Download My Genes Made Me Do it - Homosexuality and the scientific evidence |
Some of it I disagree with, but not a lot. What is certain is that most of the 'science' claiming homosexuality and 'transgenderism' is 'normal' is complete junk, just political propaganda, and not in the least 'scientific', and just a hoax.
Not everything can be blamed on genes, most often it's the interaction of genes and environment, and when it comes to human behavior, it's very complex. I think there is a tendency to blame genes on behavior far too broadly. But that does not mean there isn't some sort of hard-wired biology involved in certain behaviors or illness'.
Denying that the brain can't have genetic abnormalities is like denying that the body can't. The brain after all is just another organ and part of the body.
Homosexuality has been a part of the human experience since recorded history. Despite horrendous oppression, torture and death in some societies it persists at roughly the same rate. Likewise is the utter failure of "ex-gay" programs. At best, they turn men celibate. That seems to support the idea that there is something besides just "behavior" involved. Whether it's "normal" or not is irrelevant. Defining what's "normal" is culturally based as much as biological. At one point being black was considered biologically inferior. Perhaps it's better to step back from using labels like hoax and abnormal when describing things like this. What is the point in it? Do they harm anyone? No. They just want the same rights as any other human being in this country. Why is such a concept so hard to understand?
Here is an article on a fairly recent study:
Homosexuality is Genetic: Strongest Evidence Yet
Scientists have found even more evidence that sexual orientation is largely determined by genetics, not choice. That can undermine a major argument against the LBGT community that claims that these people are choosing to live "unnaturally."
That's at least according to a new and groundbreaking study recently published in the journal Psychological Medicine, which details how a study of more than 800 gay participants shared notable patterns in two regions of the human genome - one on the X chromosome and one on chromosome 8.
While many previous studies have looked into potential genetic drivers of homosexuality, these studies often boasted a significantly smaller sample size or lacked common controls. This is the first study of its kind to boast such a robust sample size and also be published in a scientific peer-reviewed paper.
Most stunningly, the team who conducted this study comes from the scientific community that has been hesitant to acknowledge the claims of previous studies, not because of their own opinions, but because of a lack of conclusive data.
The article concludes with: Still, the researchers stress that regardless of genetic preference, genes are but a factor in the greater picture, taking into account that social and cultural pressures can still effect an individual's sexual lifestyle, no matter how they were born.
Their life begins at conception when they become a genetically distinct organism. However, they don't become a "child" until the zygote grows enough to be identified as one.So when does a new child's life begin? What does the science tell us?
We become human beings through stages of growth, not instantaneously at conception. The idea of "life begins at conception" is related to religious ideas of a person's soul, not biological fact. Obviously the sperm and egg were already alive prior to forming a zygote.
Except for Josephus Flavius, why would the Romans give a fuck about a carpenter rabbi?
That fact remains, whatever happened had a lasting impact on a lot of people. A movement that grew. Do you really believe was completely fabricated?

Being forced to recite words isn’t building loyalty.
We're talking about facts. Like the fact that the polar ice-cap grew an astounding 60% (over 900,000 sq. miles) by 2014 when progressives claimed it would be completely "melted" by then. We have progressives denying indisputable climate data like that, indisputable biology like chromosomes, etc.Ok...now it's clear...we're talking about evidence based science (like evolution and climate change) vs faith based pseudo-science like intelligent design.
Don't you consider that to be at least slightly problematic, if not worse?

The left beleive in unintelligent design. That an inorganic universe somehow magically formed complex dna code out of thin air by random chance.
