A recent article on the genetics of eye color said "There is no single gene for eye color," while an article on homosexuality said "Human behavior is way too complex for a single gene to determine sexual behavior."

If both parents have brown eyes, all aunts and uncles have brown eyes, and all grandparents have brown eyes there is still a 7 to 8% chance their child will not be brown eyed. If there is just one aunt or uncle with green or blue eyes, the chance of the child not being brown eyed rises to 11 to 12%. The 11 to 12% range remains constant if aunts or uncles from both parents are not brown eyed.

These percentages resemble scientific studies on the percentage homosexuality.

Although it is not known why being brown eyed is dominant, the assumption of heterosexuality being dominant could be explained as needed to propagate the species. Although brown eyes are dominant, there are still blue and green eyed individuals, as there are still gay homosexual and bisexual individuals.

OK! So before GPS(Global Positioning System. If you don't know what that is, don't answer this ?) was created everyone used a compass. And, duh, a compass always points to the North Pole. So what happens when you get to the North Pole? Where does it point?

Many creationists claim the world is only 10,000 years old, yet there is solid evidence showing it is far older. So, where does the Bible say this?


If it doesn't, can someone explain where this idea came from?

the question is the P(black) and P(red).
do you add them to get 1
or do you multiply to get 1/4?

and the other one is P(jack) and P(heart)
do i add to get 16/52
or multiply to get 1/52?

i'm not sure if i'm supposed to only multiply if the question is P(A) AND P(b)
or P(A) OR P(b)
