A sentence by sentence breakdown of my post isn't an argument and you're only diluting your message by posting this. Instead of looking for the flaws in my argument try looking for the flaws in your own because as far as anyone can tell, the thrust of your argument is that instinct is the only factor in reproduction. By definition there can never be just one factor in any equation. Try arguing instead that instinct is the only commonality among all the different forces guiding evolution, do so without over-emphasizing its importance (because while people can't decide whom they're attracted to, they can certainly ignore them), and see if I don't respond more positively.

But I guess convincing me to agree with you would mean the end of this debate, and you'd hate that wouldn't you?
