From what I've read it's different, but you could definitely be correct. However loveual preferences for the same love don't seem to actual be choice related, considering loveual attraction itself isn't a choice.
Well that's why I said that it might not be a conscious choice so much as it may be something you have control over. Like addiction to games- people don't choose to be addicted but they have more than enough control over it. That kind of thing isn't a physical characteristic, I think it's the same kind of thing with homoloveuality.
Polytheistic beliefs which entire civilizations followed existed for far longer than our common monotheistic religions.
Many polytheistic religions are very old, no doubt. But beyond a few hundred years I've always really questioned how valid our dating of things can be. There have been more than one time where someone has sent things to organizations that will date things for you, and they've been way off. Judaism is extremely old, and by some sources I've read that it is considered the first formal religion to appear ever- not just the first monotheistic religion.
You can test both of them in real time. We have specific data suggesting gene mutation over thousands of years/species differentiation is all you really need for evolution. The big bang theory is the same way, we can test certain aspects of the universe expanding through the site of certain colors the further we look out. I forgot the specifics, but I'm sure I could find it if I looked hard enough. They're both theories, though. It isn't just some mass delusion.
Exactly, we can look at data and see things that suggest the two may have happened, but we can't test the theories themselves. And a theory is something you can test, you just can't test evolution. There's just no way. Mutation has happened over thousands of years sure, but we don't have any way to prove that those mutations ever led to changes on the scale evolution suggests.
But by no means am I saying that they're stupid or a "mass delusion." It's a valid hypothesis, but I don't think they can really be called a theory.
