Topic: Did God Create Homosexuality?

How much homosexuality exists in nature? "Homosexual behavior is widespread amongst social birds and mammals, particularly the sea mammals and the primates."(1) God in her wisdom created homosexuality in nature as a means of controlling population growth.

if it exists in nature -- then great. if people decide to "swing that way" then great.

The point of my post is that it not matter of deciding. Your sexual orientation is not a matter of choice according to the best science.There is in fact nothing great about it. It just is.

Who are you to tell someone else why someone is the way they are? smile

You are mistaken. I do not presume to tell anyone why they are what they are. Science on the other hand has stated clearly what is quoted in my post. Quotes are intended to denote that someone other than the poster is responsible for those words. In this case he is supported by Scientific Studies not by irrational human reactions. If all posters and responders relied on independent objective opinion we would all stand to learn something.

I like the capitalization  of "Scientific Studies" -- very convincing tongue

Did God create homosexuality? No. Nor did he create anything else. Next question.

Although homosexuality is without a doubt an aberration in regards to procreativity it does happen ...so what? It never put our species in any danger of extinction. The incidence has always been too low.
As far as this question about the intention of magical beings...man created that notion. The question was worded backwards and a little inside out. We should be asking instead, why did homo sapians feel the need to create God?

It's an evolutionary variation. Without variation, there is no evolution. If it was truly harmful, it would have been selected out long ago. Witness Alan Turing:

>>Alan Turing...was an English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and computer scientist. He was influential in the development of computer science and providing a formalization of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, playing a significant role in the creation of the modern computer...

During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he was head of Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers...<<

That's right, he was crucial to defeating the German codes and the reason why the Allies could anticipate German moves and ultimately win the war, saving millions of lives. And what did he get for it?

>>"In January 1952 Turing picked up 19-year-old Arnold Murray outside a cinema in Manchester... A few weeks later Murray visited Turing's house again, and apparently spent the night there.

After Murray helped an accomplice to break into his house, Turing reported the crime to the police. During the investigation, Turing acknowledged a sexual relationship with Murray. Homosexual acts were illegal in the United Kingdom at that time, and so both were charged with gross indecency...

Turing was given a choice between imprisonment or probation conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal treatment designed to reduce libido. He accepted chemical castration via oestrogen hormone injections, one of the side effects of which was that he grew breasts.

Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance, and barred him from continuing with his cryptographic consultancy.... [A]s with all who had worked at Bletchley Park, [he] was prevented from discussing his war work...

On 8 June 1954, Turing's cleaner found him dead; he had died the previous day... An inquest determined that he had committed suicide, and he was cremated at Woking crematorium on 12 June 1954."<<

So, all you gay haters, your freedom was built on the work of a queer. Your freedom to use this computer came from the work of a queer. If you don't like it, throw away your computer and go be a sheep in a fascist cult, because that is where we would all be without Alan Turing. A queer.

Deal with it.

Hell is a place where there is no reason.

The universe would not have been created but for the perfect weight of hydrogen. If we conceive multiple universes, each requires a perfect weight for hydrogen. Time began for our universe when it concussed against a neighboring universe and the Big Bang ensued. Humans appeared after eons of genetic merging and mutations. We are beings who have compassion, love music, art, literature and a thirst for knowledge. We also will sacrifice our lives for others. A mechanical universe is good at creating ants and lizards. The effect cannot be greater than the cause according to Newtonian Physics. What cause is equal to or greater than man's nobility.
