Since when has the public ever gotten an award for ability to think clearly?

They may be onto something. Maybe we should submit the mysteries of particle physics and cosmology to polling as well. The answers are out there.

“Half of Americans in Gallup’s 2018 Values and Beliefs poll ...”
Well, I guess that settles it. The masses are never wrong about anything...
To: Ennis85
Yeah, and 50% of the population is, by definition, below average intelligence. So, I could see where they might think it’s nature, instead of environment.

I thought sexual abuse in childhood played a big role.

When “nature” means molestation in childhood.

I say (as if anyone cares) that the demarcation isn’t sharp.
For some people, nature takes over. But, there may be some lisping betas for whom some sort of sexual confusion was biologically almost certain.
To: Ennis85
Yes, it’s called the sin nature.

Was it the Hawaiian/Indonesian/Pakistani Nature or the Frank Marshall Davis Nurture?

Yeah, I have to admit that a lot of the public isn’t very bright.
To: Ennis85
And they say propaganda doesn’t work on Americans.

Know a guy pushing that. Not sure if he’s really gone over the edge or just wants to see if you’ll follow him down the rabbit-hole.

"... More Say 'Nature' Than 'Nurture' Explains Sexual Orientation....... Any chance some could be "Nature" ..... some could be "Nurture" ..... Some could be "Nature and Nurture" or do they all have to fit neatly into one single package?

Yep. Let’s do a poll on whether the Earth rotates around the Sun. What we need on this issue (and many other issues for that matter) is science that is not politicized. That used to be normal but now its hard to get.

More important than nature or nurture is free will. I have been attracted to quite a few women in my life, including after my marriage. Nature/nurture may say “go for it”, but free will says “I took a vow”. Free will always wins.
