And by your argument one could also argue that "nature" has created pedophiles, rapists, adulterers, and so on

I'd argue that neuroscience has shown beyond any reasonable doubt that some folks are wired in such a way that they are more likely to commit crimes than others. Studies of criminals have found a large amount of evidence that those who commit crimes are likely to have defects in the way their pre-frontal lobes are wired, thus making them less capable of knowing right from wrong (or feeling empathy for others).

So to answer your question, yes, nature has certainly created the conditions for such criminals to be created, of course there are other factors involved but one can not overlook the fact that brains develop differently and whether or not we want to accept it, we are all controlled by how our brains are created. Some folks are just wired in such a way that they are unable to be empathetic to others, just as some folks are created in such a way that they are succeptable to diseases such as Alzhiemers.

I'd argue that nature has created gays. I'd argue that it is a genetic predisposition.

Okay, argue. Provide evidence homosexuality is genetic.

There is absolutely no evidence homosexuality is genetic. In fact, all the studies state the major factor in determining homosexuality is environment. And guess what? Homosexuals can change. Yep, homosexuals can leave the lifestyle which puts a rather large and powerful crimp on your genetics bluff. Because homosexuals can leave the lifestyle it further supports the environment factor.

For a collection of articles on the subject: Homosexuality and Genetics

I've asked numerous freepers to post rebuttals from credible sources to anything found at the above link. Nobody ever does, and they can't, because no rebuttals exist from credible sources.

I've asked numerous freepers to try and discredit the information at the above link, and of course, from credible sources. Nobody tries.

People can only try to denigrate the facts. If you respond at all, you won't respond with anything of substance either.

Feel free to scroll up and down the nearly 500 articles at the above link and get educated on the subject.
