The current understanding of the genetic basis of homosexuality suggests that same-sex sexual behavior has a genetic component, with evidence pointing towards a polygenic influence[1][2][3]. While early claims of a "homosexuality gene" lacked power and yielded contradictory results, recent genome-wide association studies on large datasets have confirmed modest heritability but no major locus, indicating an extremely polygenic genetic influence on homosexuality[4]. Studies have shown that genetic loci linked with same-sex sexual behavior cannot predict individual orientation, highlighting the complexity of human sexuality and the small fraction of same-sex behavior explained by genetic variation[5]. The biology of male homosexuality, rooted in the brain's hypothalamus, has evolutionary origins, but our understanding of its genetic underpinnings is still evolving. Genetic studies, including family, twin, and molecular genetic research, support the notion of a strong genetic basis for same-sex attraction, although specific genes predisposing to such attractions are not definitively established.
Which is of course part of the falsifying process I explained to you in my last post. Even with all that we don't know the one thing we do know is there is more evidence for the big bang than there is for god.just_sayin said:Zeus,ZeusAres42 said:MayCaesar said:When you say that you "don't believe" in Big Bang, what exactly do you refer to? The specific claim that the Universe used to be much denser than it is now? The claim that it is expanding? The claim that it is not infinite? Or, perhaps, you believe that the entire physics framework used to arrive at the Big Bang Theory is wrong somehow?
As it is, your statement sounds similar to, "I don't believe in engineering", or "I don't believe in marriage". It is far too ambiguous to lead to a meaningful conversation without further clarification.
@MayCaesar
Maybe they even meant this:
I mean the sitcom. They may not believe in Sheldon Cooper lmao.
Let me do a Zeus and quote an AI on the subject:The Big Bang theory is a widely accepted scientific model explaining the origin and evolution of the universe. However, like any scientific theory, it is not without its limitations and areas of ongoing research and debate. Some of the key challenges and open questions associated with the Big Bang theory include:
Singularity Problem: The Big Bang theory describes the universe as originating from a singularity—a point of infinite density and temperature. However, the concept of a singularity is problematic because it suggests that our current laws of physics break down under such extreme conditions. Resolving this issue requires a theory of quantum gravity, which would unify quantum mechanics and general relativity.
Initial Conditions: The Big Bang theory does not explain what caused the initial singularity or what conditions prevailed before it. Understanding the initial conditions of the universe remains a major challenge in cosmology.
Horizon Problem: The universe appears to be uniform on large scales, with the same basic properties in all directions. However, regions of the universe that are now very distant from each other were never in causal contact (they couldn't have interacted or exchanged information due to the finite speed of light). This raises the question of how such uniformity arose without communication between these distant regions.
Flatness Problem: Observations indicate that the universe is very close to flat, meaning that parallel lines will never meet and the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe's curvature should evolve over time, but it remains remarkably close to flat. This fine-tuning of the universe's geometry requires explanation.
Dark Matter and Dark Energy: The Big Bang theory relies on the existence of dark matter and dark energy to explain various observations, such as the rotation curves of galaxies and the accelerated expansion of the universe. However, the nature of dark matter and dark energy remains mysterious, and their existence has not been directly confirmed through laboratory experiments.
Inflation: To address some of the issues mentioned above, cosmologists have proposed the theory of cosmic inflation, which suggests that the universe underwent a rapid exponential expansion in the early moments after the Big Bang. While inflation has been successful in explaining several cosmological observations, the details of how inflation occurred and what drove it are still not fully understood.
These challenges and unanswered questions drive ongoing research in cosmology and theoretical physics, with scientists continually seeking to refine and extend our understanding of the universe's origins and evolution.
It appears your AI is indeed more informed than you and @MayCaesar. Good to know.
