An idea is not “anti-science” merely because it makes you or anyone else feel uncomfortable.

- orwin 5y ago4. Someone who thinks that homosexuality is immoral and dangerous. I'd argue that this is anti-science. The biological theory "en vogue" is that homosexuality (not the sexual act, the falling in love part) is determined by hormonal balance during pregnancy. I don't think any theory argue that this is dangerous, and well, about immorality, it has nothing to do with science. So this idea is anti-science, and i don't think is interesting enough to take a spot on a shelf in a science university. Maybe in the reserve. Are you disagreeing with that?
- esyir 5y agoMorality has little to do with science, and this case is not different. For an extreme example we determined that murderous psychopathy was related to a developmental hiccup, would you be surprised that people would call it immoral or dangerous?
