I saw your sarcasm tags....however, I was also reading the ones without said sarcasm, i.e.,

Either we first establish as a premise of argument, and accept the fact that it takes (heterosexual relations) a secular standard of mammalian reproductive biology to define the nature of the debate in the temporal political sphere, or we allow the Left to advance their fallacies and cults of perversion...

Note: monogamy is a standard that is set by man...

Yes, on a biological level, each creature has its "set" role, function, and purpose.

As far as your comments on polygamy, I do not read that it was ever God's wish or primary desire that man have more than one wife. (He made them Adam and Eve, not Adam and Eves). He may have allowed polygamy to occur, as He did and does allow many other things that were/are ultimately hurtful or harmful to mankind (read that FREE WILL and HARDENED HEARTS), but that does not mean that it is or was His original plan (before the fall, when sin first occurred). For example, in

Matthew 19:3-9 (NASB)

3 And some Pharisees came to Him, testing Him, and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause at all?"

4 And He answered and said, "Have you not read, that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,

5 and said, 'FOR THIS CAUSE A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE TO HIS WIFE; AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'?

6 "Consequently they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

7 They *said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY?"

8 He *said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.

9 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."
