Come to the Netherlands! We've got some stuff to calm you downKarl - Liberal Backslider said:Sexual desire is not the primary "propellant" of evolution. Natural selection is. It's not just about shaggability. You've got to survive long enough to shag.
all that ignoring people must consume large amounts of your brainpower.Colossians said:Good night all. As apt as I am at debating 27 evolutionists at once, I have energy levels to consider, and in my country, it is night.
That being the case, consider Karl's mannerism to represent that of the of the whole forum... and quite possibly the human race in general.Colossians said:Backslider,
Consider yourself out of contention by virtue of your mannerism. I will not be responding to you further.
I know what the question is: I wrote it.
The question is not about whether intellect automatically invokes sexual dysfunction, but about how intellect can come into being from sexual processes, which are fundamentally and inherently a-intellectual.
Accordingly, the existence of only one instance of unwanted intervention of the intellect into the sexual act, stands as inductive proof for the impossibility of such facet to arise through a mechanism which has sexual desire as its primary propellant.

[size=+1]Acute low doses of melatonin restore full sexual activity in impotent male rats.[/size]

Evidence exists that repeated injections of melatonin in rather large doses inhibit sexual performance in male rats. In contrast, systemic injection of small doses of this hormone stimulates sexual activity of normal male rats. In these experiments, systemic acute administration of melatonin in small doses (10-100 microg/kg) induced the appearance of ejaculations in impotent Wistar male rats that were selected as showing null sexual approach or showing mounts, intromissions but no ejaculations. This effect was partially abolished by the simultaneous peripheral injection of the non-selective melatonin receptor antagonist, luzindole, or by the acute administration of serotonin or of the 5HT(2A) receptor agonist, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI), into the amygdala or the ventral hypothalamus. These results suggest that melatonin may stimulate, in a dose-dependent manner, several copulatory parameters of male sexual behavior and may restore sexual activity in impotent animals by interacting with brain receptors, i. e. melatonin and serotonin receptors.

Colossians said:The intellect has no bearing on the instinct of sexual desire, except to cause it to abort, a common occurrence, which if common in one person, is labelled "sexual dysfunction".
Colossians said:Such intellect then cannot be validly said to have arisen through a mechanism of evolution, for it would not pass the initial test of supporting sexuality.

rats suffer from impotence too!

DJ_Ghost said:There is no such thing as inductive proof, as I have told you before. Induction can not provide proof. This is what is referred to as the logical flaw of induction and it is why no serious field of human knowledge construction uses induction when trying to learn truth or potential truth. induction is only really still seen in practice amongst philosophers who are using it as an exercise in What ifs and any decent philosopher is well aware of the limitations of induction and why it is no use when trying to uncover actual, verifiable and reliable knowledge.
Induction is used in some math proofs but I think it can be tricky. A small flaw in logic can cause you lots of headache - one of our classes spent a few minutes debunking the professors inductive proof that any size group had all the same age, because it follows the proper inductive pattern:caravelair said:correct me if i'm wrong, but i think induction is still used in mathematical proofs. i believe there is a non-inductive proof which proves that inductions works for proofs in math.
Fair enough. Nobody said trolling would be easy.Colossians said:Good night all. As apt as I am at debating 27 evolutionists at once, I have energy levels to consider, and in my country, it is night.
