Top misconceptions of Theory of Evolution you had to deal with

RE: Top misconceptions of Theory of Evolution you had to deal with
Trying to explain in detail the observed results of so complex and chaotic phenomenon as human sexual selection will have to wait quite a while.
Perhaps grants could be had?

I'm partial to a couple of (my own) explanations of gays.

1) It's a spandrel.  Essentially identical genomes, male and female, have to build neural structures which have many common features and functions like temperature regulation and breathing, yet have to tweak each sex into being attracted to the other.  Maybe this mechanism gets confused on occasion.  Such essentially accidental events will be very hard to prove.

2) It's a matter of self confidence.  If one finds all members of ones own sex abhorrent, how can one believe that members of the opposite sex would find ones self attractive?  Clearly, gay males have the reputation of better taste and grooming habits.  That something attracts women to your more stereotyped fat, foul, macho males is perhaps miraculous but keeps the species going?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
