Regardless, hormones develop the brain one way or the other and they are easily disrupted, so the point stands.SmartLXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447028072345461620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434842591971703006.post-91447981388181597622010-06-07T19:44:00.174-07:002010-06-07T19:44:00.174-07:00Correlation isn't causation, JD, but causation...Correlation isn't causation, JD, but causation causes correlation. The above may well indicate that everyone with these anomalies has a greater <em>tendency</em> towards alcoholism. <br /><br />The link to sexuality is more concrete. We know that all foetuses are female until 6-8 weeks, when the relevant body and brain parts are converted by testosterone if the chromosomes dictate a boy. We also know of a great many things which can interfere with this process, preventing a full conversion or causing a partial one where none is dictated. There are people out there with male bodies and female sexual instincts, and vice versa, and everything in between, there's no doubt about it. Whether this phenomenon explains all homosexuals remains to be established, but it's got to account for some of them.<br /><br />Meanwhile Williams is famous for waffling, but in this case expressing general concern is all he can safely do. Support for homosexuality (including in the clergy), and opposition to it, are both high enough in Britain that the Church of England risks losing multitudes to other denominations if it either unambiguously supports gays or unambiguously denounces them. <br /><br />In fact the Roman Catholic Church has advertised directly to Anglicans in an attempt to scoop up all its conservatives in case the CoE goes officially gay-friendly. With Glasspool's ordination, the Episcopalians have essentially expressed their interest in recruiting the opposite faction should the reverse occur. It seems more political than anything.SmartLXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447028072345461620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434842591971703006.post-75398085159144447612010-06-06T08:57:05.008-07:002010-06-06T08:57:05.008-07:00Froggie,
