"Are you born gay or do you 'acquire' it?"

I heard two people talking about this the other night, and was wondering what you guys thought. Is being gay in your DNA, or is it 'acquired' through your life?

So yeh, enlighten me...

What about insects? Did Noah catch two of every species of bug? Some of them only live for a few days you know. And cobras - I'll bet Noah never took Steve Irwin's advice on how to catch a deadly snake. And even if he did, wouldn't shoving his finger up the snake's backside to calm it down be like what the people in Soddom and Gemorah were doing?

That there was the great flood? It is what God says...

Maybe the christian flood myth is lifted directly from the Sumerian flood myth, and its all a load of b'llocks to start with?

Maybe they naturally grew...

Maybe they evolved?

There's some more though...

That's the overall average, not the strict average, but with elephants and worms both on the ark, the overall average would not be larger than a sheep, while most animals would be smaller than a sheep anyway.

Willmington's Guide to the Bible, page 29, question 35, in the article, "Questions and answers about Genesis 1-11:

"35. How did Noah feed and keep these animals for an entire year? Of course, we may only speculate. A possible solution might have involved that mysterious and remarkable factor of animal physiology known as hibernation. Hibernation is generally defined as a specific physiological state in an animal in which NORMAL FUNCTIONS" (emphasis Archangel's) "are suspended or greatly retarded, enabling the animal to endure long periods of complete inactivity. This suggestion would not seem to be unreasonable, for the animals went aboard two by two (the clean animals by sevens) and came off the same way--including the rabbits."

Best example yet of his idiocy. He'll come back now with a reply to some post a couple of days ago and completely ignore this. But now I've just said that, he'll counter it just to prove me wrong. Either way I'm right :)

Mwaha Forest Fan got mashed again.
