Evolution or creation

In your opinion, did humans come into existence as a result of:

Is the history of humanity the result of slow evolution, or perhaps an act of conscious creation? Supporters of Darwin’s theory see us as the outcome of millions of years of natural selection and mutation, while believers in creationism point to the lack of conclusive evidence for “originating from apes.” Increasingly popular are also concepts combining both approaches – God may have used evolutionary processes in His plan. Others go further, suggesting that humans are the result of genetic modifications carried out by alien civilizations, which fits into the current of paleoastronautic theories. Which of these explanations sounds closest to the truth for you?

Telegony

Do you believe that a woman’s first sexual encounter, during which there was contact with a man’s semen, can cause her later offspring with other partners to show certain similarities to that first man?

Telegony, once popular among breeders and the aristocracy, is now making a comeback in online discussions. It assumes that a woman’s first sexual partner can “imprint” his genetic trace on her future offspring with other men. Official science claims that traits are inherited exclusively from the biological father, but there is the phenomenon of microchimerism – cells from previous partners can remain in a woman’s body. Is this a biological curiosity without significance, or a mechanism that science does not yet want to talk about? Supporters see it as confirmation of ancient knowledge, skeptics – merely a myth. And you, which side are you on?

Genetic Modification of Humans

Do you think genetic modification (CRISPR) of humans should be allowed?

The genetic modification of humans and embryos using CRISPR technology is a topic that ignites public debate. Supporters see it as a chance to eliminate genetic diseases and improve the quality of life for future generations. Critics warn, however, that “enhancing” appearance or intelligence could lead to the emergence of an elite superhuman caste, as well as to an ethical slippery slope where the line between treatment and human design becomes blurred. History teaches that every revolutionary technology carries both hope and risk. Is tampering with the code of life the courage of science, or the hubris of mankind?

Pornography vs. Romantic Movies

Do you think pornography distorts men’s perception of relationships to a similar extent as romantic movies do for women?

Pornography and romantic movies are two worlds that seemingly have little in common, yet both can similarly influence people’s perceptions of relationships. Supporters of the comparison argue that both men and women are fed unrealistic scenarios – men with visions of constant sexual availability, women with fairy-tale love free of everyday problems. Critics, however, point out that pornography more strongly affects the brain’s reward system, causing addictions and distorting expectations toward a partner. The question then arises – aren’t both of these forms, in essence, different faces of the same illusion that undermines real bonds?

Organ sales

Do you think voluntary organ sales should be legal?

The trade in organs is a topic that evokes both hope and fear. On the one hand, supporters of legalizing voluntary sales emphasize a person’s right to decide about their own body and the possibility of reducing the dramatic shortage of life-saving organs. On the other hand, opponents warn of the inevitable growth of the black market, exploitation of the poor, and the degradation of human life’s value to that of a commodity. In the background are questions about the limits of individual freedom, the moral consequences of the body’s commercialization, and the risk of creating “biologically privileged” castes. Is opening the organ market a lifeline for the sick or a gateway to dystopia?

Education and grading system

Do you think it is fair to grade a student with artistic or humanities talents according to the same principles as a student with a scientific mind?

Can an artistically gifted student be graded the same way as a future engineer? Today’s education system often tries to fit everyone into the same mold, where conformity to the key matters more than originality of thought. Supporters of uniform criteria argue that this is the only way to ensure fairness and comparability of results. Critics respond that this kills creativity and turns school into a factory of standardized minds. In the background lies the question: is this education, or programming society? And you – do you prefer equal rules or an individual approach?
