Midas Dekkers on Homosexuality

He presented no data to back up his assertion that homosexuality in animals "reverts", neither to back up his claims that all animals observed in homosexuality were in captivity.

This segment is a column of five minutes not a lecture, you don't expect Dawkins to cite peer reviewed papers if he writes a column in the Times. Midas Dekkers is one of the Netherlands leading biologists. He was already writing peer reviewed papers on animal behaviour studies before I was born.

Quote: What are his credentials anyway? Does he have any history in biology?

Midas Dekkers is a biologist, probably one of the mose true core ones, because he doesn't classify humans as anything special over other animals, just that humans have some different behavioural patterns.

Quote:Remember: question everything Smile

Yet because his assertion doesn't fall into YOUR view that homosexuality is natural which you don't back up either, you will take that Italians word over that of Dekkers. I am showing in interpreting his viewpoint for you because you fail to grasp his message through the subtitles, and even have him pegged as a fundie whis couldn't be further from the truth. But you classify him as such and that is all she wrotes for you isnt it?

Quote:I make it a habit not to trust things relgious people say about homosexuality.


Dekkers is not religious, he is an atheist.

Quote:I'll leave it to others to put their opinion on this, but to me the guy seems to have the same old religious bigotry as every other fundie. He just wants to appear to be the nice guy.

No it is because you react to him pointing at a bible you can't see it in the proper context anymore.
