Don't hide behind social institutions.......

If you've had your laugh, let's get down to the discussion.
It is easy to laugh, hiding behind socially accepted positions. But why don't you take me apart point by point, using logic. Afterall, something as funny as this should not be difficult to prove wrong.

All of these human institutions are mere puppets in the hands of those in power. We all know how it works. It took 200 years for 'science' to accept that there is widespread evidence of male-male sex in the wild. And it was almost forced to accept that. It has consistently suppressed all information on such incidences in the wild --- and this is documented. The first person to report widespread female-female sex amongst Macaques monkeys was laughed out by the authorities. The discovery channel when talking about animal sexuality still pretends as if the animal world is heterosexual --- absolutely no mention of sex or courtship between same-sex.
That Christian missionaries have destroyed several archaelogical and other historical evidences that did not meet their view of this world is not hidden from anyone. Many of the culprits were accredited scientists. The human institution of science has taken after its predecessor 'religion' where what is presented as 'fact' is what those in power give their stamp to.
The Christian/ heterosexual science was more interested in proving that masturbation leads to blindness and insanity. That circumcision was a healthy process. And that so-called 'homosexuality' was a mental disorder. They had to eat their words. But not before so-called 'homosexuals' became politically powerful and forced them to. therefore, 'Science' (including archeaolgoy, biology, sociology and what have you) is not about the truth. It's about power.
So, you see! 'Science' is not infallible, and mere non-validity by these institutions is not reason enough to write something off.
But
I'm relying mostly on what has been given the 'stamp' (although hesitatingly) by arhaeology, biology, and what have you. But where I don't agree with it, I will give evidences for my reason of disagreement. And I'm relying most of all on empirical evidence, because that is the most reliable.
Whatever I have asserted has been drawn from 10 years of work experience (groundwork) and careful research. The conclusions are all based on what 'your' scientific institutions have already 'accepted' as 'facts'. So I can answer most of your queries regarding this, citing 'authoritative' researches whereever required.
However, I may add that I'm an honest seeker of truth, and if I'm proved wrong either totally or partly, I would not hesitate to change that part of my assertion. I would give more value to empirical evidence than to established scientific theories.
