On the subject of homosexuality. In a world in which we are overusing our resources, and causing the extinction of tens of thousands of God's creatures perhaps homosexuality is a way to prevent excess human reproduction. Groups of rats kept in overcrowded conditions will engage in homosexual posturing. Might this actually be God's answer for our failure to be good stewards of his marvelous creations.

NO! Homosexuality is a sin and God would never use it in that way. Romans 1 explicitly states that it is the end result of man failing to acknowledge Him and abandoning faith in Him. It's not a means of population control to save the planet. How that all relates to rats is beyond me, but it doesn't apply to human behavior.

I find that a curious post, not yours, the one you answered. I think it was just bait.

As homosexuality has a negative effect on reproduction, I find it a stretch to explain it through selective process. A trait that so strongly prohibits reproduction should be absolutely nonexistant in natural selection. How does it get passed on?

In short, homosexuality is not only a sin, it is hard to explain with evolutionary science beyond, "It exists, therefore it is."
