comment How do we know that homosexual relations is a sin?
I don't know who it was. Was he quoting a Christian? A Karaite? A child? A noted Talmudic scholar? If you can find out, include that information in the question as it is really that opinion you want to discuss, not Ibn Ezra.

comment Answering Atheist about Torah miracles
I don't know if that quote by Feynman is applicable here. He's talking (I assume) about sum-over-paths quantum mechanics, not evolution.

comment Gemarah on Baal Teshuva
This is kind of a vague request. In what way does he compare a Baal Teshuva to a Tzaddik?

comment What allowed Jews to change the way they pronounced words?
user2670 I'm not sure what kind of examples you are looking for. Examples of other languages that have shifted pronunciation with time?

The last doesn't sound like a question of Jewish law but of secular law.

comment What's the deal with showering on yom tov?
@Alex I don't think the "perhaps" in that sentence is even necessary. Besides, one could always turn on the shower to wash one's hands and then leave it running.
