Pfft. A theory in search of facts.

This is a new field of science for me but, I've suspected for some time that something like this may be happening.

Here's a link to a more detailed explanation. I didn't post it because it is from (puke) Time Magazine.

Why Your DNA Isn't Your Destiny

“Sexual orientation”. There’s the point of the article.

Great article. I’ve also sensed that there was something to this, could never pretend to explain it though.

darwin 100% right? more like 1% right 99% wrong.

lamarck at least is proving to be far more right than wrong. i wonder now, after having been indoctrinated early and often about his being darwin’s favorite whipping boy and fool, about his faith. since his insight was so much deeper, i wonder if he was also another devoutly Christian philosopher. i’ll have to look into it sometime.

finally who is really being proved right by all of this?

that would be our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Typical misrepresentation of Lamarck. He said that acquired characteristics came in response to necessary adaptation, not in response to random mutilation. Cutting off the tails of baby mice - how creepy, like pulling the wings off flies or poking out a person’s eyes does not disprove Lamarck’s theory of why giraffes have long necks.

Doubt if there is much in this. I personally knew well two pairs of identical twins. There's genetics, mother's and Dad's diets, their behaviors, etc that are taken out of the equation.

In both cases, each person was distinctly different. The differences in their lives were consequences of choices, not what their parents ate or did.

Too bad they did not marry identical twin sisters. That would have been a hoot to track, eh?

People are not mice. Humans have a spiritual dimension, and that is the usual defining factor in life outcomes. IMHO.
