“
And no matter what religious fundamentalists may feel about scriptural dogma condemning homosexuality, the biological fact is that homosexuality is completely natural in many species, occurring with frequencies that are largely biologically and culturally independent. It is no more a choice than is poverty or prosperity. It is essentially an accident of birth. Legislation creating artificial biological discriminants, where none actually exist in nature, cannot survive the march of time, or the continued onslaught of reality.
Religion is a powerful force, and it has held sway against nature in many cases for millennia. But whenever religious dogma tries to overcome the facts of nature, be it the age of the universe, the existence of a big bang, evolution as the source of biological diversity, or the inner workings of human biology, knowledge and reason will slowly whittle down resistance, and reason will win out. Religious fundamentalism, as powerful a force as it often appears, is unsustainable in a world driven by science and technology.
Ultimately, the fundamental lesson of science is quite simple: the universe is the way it is, whether we like it or not. Our job as humans is to figure out how it works so that we can tailor our philosophy and our actions as biological entities sharing a planet with the rest of nature, to maximally benefit from our knowledge.

“Top 10 Most Read Books in the World”. Visual News makes a bar chart to compare the top ten books in the world, based from a report from the website Squidoo. The infographic shows that 3.9 billion Bibles have been printed and the Bible is the most read book in the world.
I was truly surprised by this? 2nd most read book is quotes by Mao Tse-Tung or Ze-Dong or however you spell his name?? At least LOTR is up there <3 ha
