    Why do the genes/gene-sets for homosexuality persist through generations?

    Now, obviously no one has all the answers on this topic. But I'd like to put forth a hypothesis of mine concerning the survival and societal benefits of homosexuality (in a portion of a species' population). If homosexuality persists, generation after generation, then there must be some...

    Gamebooks?

    Has anyone here played/read any (good) gamebooks, especially ones available for iOS/Android? Gamebooks are like the old "Choose Your Own Adventure!" books, except most gamebooks are more complex, with more detailed story lines and choice paths, and they often incorporate various dice rules to...

    Bacteria -------> Human - In One Step - What would this provide support/evidence for/against?

    The evidence for evolution's factual nature is vast, well-developed, perhaps even overwhelming. I certainly accept the idea's validity. But, hypothetically, if a bacterial cell replicated and produced, for example, a human, would that be evidence against evolution? Would it be evidence for...

    My Grandmother Just Suffered a Stroke

    My grandmother's health has been deteriorating severely for some time now. She has Alzheimer's, and has been losing her memory as well as generally declining in cognitive functioning. I just got a call, 30mins ago from my mother, and she told me that my grandmother has been taken to the...

    The Nunavut Song - Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie

    (You can skip to the song/lyrics, if you want, the first couple paragraphs are just some background info on Nunavut itself [and some of my thoughts], and the stuff after the song/lyrics is extra info on Nunavut. It's there if you want to read it, but the main point of this thread is the song...

    The Christian Missionary and the Inuit Man

    The following is an old joke, but an illustrative one, IMO. It seems clear that the unspoken answer to the Inuit fellow's last question would have been "In order to utilize your fear and ignorance so that I could convert you." (or something to that effect) I think it's an interesting way to...

    The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris (Link Between Lips and Labia? Buttocks and Breasts?)

    (Another long OP for a thread, I know. But it's genuinely interesting, and I'm not forcing you to read if you don't want to. IMO, it's worth reading, and I hope it can prove to be entertaining and thought-provoking for at least a few other people.) The Naked Ape was a book written by the...

    Islam and Alcohol?

    It was my understanding that drinking alcohol was forbidden in Islam. However, I recently read that there are several Islamic states wherein alcohol consumption is allowed, and being a Muslim doesn't automatically mean that one cannot drink alcohol. In fact, there are some groups of Muslims...

    Thou art God!

    I've posted this short essay of mine long ago on RF, but I think it might be more appreciated and get better responses in the Taoism sub-forum. I'm currently exploring Taoism myself, and there's a lot I like about this form of spirituality. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it, and since I'm hoping...

    Nudity and/or Sexualized Nudity - Dangerous? Immoral? Taboo?

    (I know that this is long, so in the second post, I've bolded the most essential part, so that people can still answer the question if they don't want to read it all.) I was recently talking to some friends about a television show franchise I deeply enjoy, Stargate (all three TV series, plus...

    The Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham (of AnswersinGenesis.com) Debate

    I was unfortunate enough to be without wifi when the Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham debate occurred earlier this year. I've been putting off watching it for a long time now. I'm now questioning whether I really should watch it or not. I'd rather not waste two hours of my time if it isn't worthwhile...

    Any Other RFers Living in Nova Scotia?

    I'm not exactly sure if this is where I should post this, but it's my best guess. I recently moved to Halifax to go back to university. I'm most likely going to be attending the University of King's College, but there are six other universities that haven't responded to my application yet...

    Saturn V Launch Video

    I watched this video of Saturn V's launch and it brought on a powerful mix of emotions. It's symbolic of our species' great potential. It's an example of what we can do when we work together. It's awe-inspiring to see something so magnificent and glorious as this come from a single species, a...

    On the Notion of Faith

    I found an interesting blog that I thought a few people here might like. On the notion of faith | Scary Reasoner Here is an excerpt: There've been some quite good posts there, but I'll stick to that one for now. What are your thoughts on faith? To me, I find it, like the person who wrote...

    The Shattering of the God-Gate - A Story to Participate In

    I've got a little game I'd like to play. I'm going to set up the beginning of a story, and anyone can add to it (so long as you're being serious about it, and not just being foolish ;) ). btw, it's not a contest, just try to make it interesting and well written. I know that the stuff I...

    Higher Dimensional Organisms

    Just a fun thing to think about: Supposing there are higher dimensions (beyond time), which is currently supported by a number of theories in physics, then could not organisms have evolved to live "there"? Second dimensional beings, Flatlanders as they've been called, would move around...

    Anyone Around Remember the Old Times on RF?

    Just hoping to reconnect with some of the people I came to appreciate during my time here at RF. I imagine many are gone now, but I hold out hope for some.

    Thou art God - Just a Little Something I Wrote

    Thou art God. Our time is to be abhorred, it fails the test of ultimate truth. Our history serves to imprison us in prisons built out of our ideas and misled actions. Fixed and frightened authority is arbitrary, and never to be trusted. Your own authority is to be especially distrusted. I...

    The Mind

    What is the human mind? Something other than a conglomeration of neuronal tissue functioning under the same laws that other atoms, molecules, and cells follow? I've heard people say that the mind is different, something special, because it rewrites itself (or at least edits itself) continually...
