There's statistical evidence and there's spin.
I'll go with the evidence anyday.

Dear Proxy,

Statistics are not always accurate.
Reliable research findings can be
produced only by the use of reliable
research methods.

Cause and effect can be traced by
establishing correlations between independent
and dependent variables. It is necessary, however,
to apply controls to exclude the possibility that
some variable other than the one being studied is
influencing the relationship under investigation.

Logical analysis is also necessary to establish
that a relationship is causal, not spurious.

Foxy,
For your information:
The covariance between heterosexuality and paedophilia is negative, giving a correlation coefficient between -1 and 0.
The covariance between homosexual and paedophilic behaviour is positive, giving a correlation coefficient closer to 1 than 0.
Homosexuality is the standard deviation and paedophilia is a variance on the abnormal distribution.
Observers with a negative (ie leftward) skew are sometimes unable to correctly interpret the observable results.
This can lead to a Type 2 error, resulting in the incorrect rejection of the hypothesis that homosexual and paedophilic behaviour are statistically linked at the 95% confidence level.

Dear Proxy,

We all get frustrated when we try to communicate
with people of any generation who don't
comprehend what we're trying to say
or who don't seem to consider our point of view
as being valid.

Therefore start your own thread on homosexuality.
You may have greater success.
