	To Infinity and Beyond Is space exploration worth the money and potential consequences to humans? Many people debate whether space exploration is worth the money and potential risks. One side of the debate says that space is a waste of time. They think it's dangerous, not worth the cost, and pointless. These people believe that there are already enough problems of Earth. On the other hand, many people say that space exploration is a must. They believe that we need space exploration to prepare for our future. For the past half century, Congress has agreed. Currently, "NASA receives 7-16 billion dollars a year for space exploration" (Dubner). The United States of America should continue spending money on space travel and preparing for our future, in spite of possible consequences.

	Global Warming (no title yet) The Danger Posed by Global Warming Must be Taken More Seriously Is global warming really happening?

Evidence of global warming is all around us. According to globalwarmingisreal.com, "That the earth is heating up and climate change is already underway is understood by virtually the entire scientific community."

	Born That Way Evidence Shows that Homosexuality is not Heredity. Homosexuality has been around for thousands of years, shown in ancient drawings and sculptures. However, the big question is if it's learned through environment or if it is hereditary and passed down form parent to child. Religion and science play a big part in this topic because some believe that God never intended for humans to go against nature, and others believe that science says there isn't a choice about sexuality, but that it is determined through our genetics. Dr. Dean Hamer, a gay researcher, discusses the current status on the subject, stating, "Homosexuality is not genetic…environmental factors play a big role. There is not a single master gene that makes people gay. I don't think we will ever be able to predict who will be gay" (Byrd). What she means is that homosexuality is nurture, not nature. Homosexuality is not genetic, but produced by environmental factors. Support: Why Homosexuality is Environmental, not Genetic 1. Evidence from Genetic Determinants 2. Occurrence in Various Cultures 3. Observations by social scientists. IV Works Cited Author, Firstname. "A sample Article". A Sample Website.
