At least two of the three links clearly stated that genes mattered more than environment, but you are not reading them thoroughly. The circumstances of your upbringing certainly do matter, just not as much. This figure is believed to be anywhere from 65%- 80+% for the gene's influence.

It is faith based to believe that similar input = similar outcome despite the wide genetic variation of the organism in question that qualifies that outcome.

You're just doing the same revisionism shit here. I asked if you were saying that genetics was the only major factor, you confirmed that was what you were saying. Now you concede that

The circumstances of your upbringing certainly do matter, just not as much.

Glad you've finally found your way out of fantasy land. Before you were claiming that these things didn't matter in any real way, now you acknowledge that they do. I don't feel like arguing percentages with you, because the primary objective - which was to get you to realize your head was stuffed up your ass - has been accomplished.

Yeah not quite, you're framing and convoluting statements. Genetics are everything. You have become a great example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

Because very sincerely, that was an astoundingly weak retort. You don't want to do percentages because it proves my point...And you know it.

A few days ago I ran into a young-earth creationist that just casually dismissed the fields of geology and archeology as "myth". I could send him all the science you could ask for starting from the very basics, but do you think that would be anything other than a waste of my time? He's never going to accept it because he has his agenda, and will only listen to information that supports his agenda.

We're not having a debate here, at this point it's just a narc rant.

So...let's talk about your affiliation with the DNC instead.

If you'd like a resume you can hit me up on the backchannels.

Great...I was always secretly hoping you weren't actually doing this for free.
