Systematic thought and observation should lead you to question a hypothesis which can be summarized: "Once upon a time, a group of avian ancestors jumped out of trees and killed themselves enough times that they eventually grew wings and flew away."...Or another little narrative: "Once upon a time, a group of mammalian ancestors killed themselves on land enough times that eventually they grew legs and walked away."

If those were reasonable summaries, one would be quite right in questioning them. But they aren't, which pretty much invalidates the whole exercise.

BTW, welcome aboard. Who were you before?

I've never been here before. I thought it was a conservative forum. If even conservatives believe in something like evolutionism then it is little wonder that homosexuality is such an issue in Americana. Evolutionism is merely the modern version of the breaking down of distinctions which runs throughout human history. Many ancient pagans used to make their gods half human and half beast.

But before going on a tangent to the disagreement, then what is your summary of the Tree Down Theory or the other explanations proferred to explain differences between kingdoms? You didn't back up your assertion by demonstrating any inaccuracy.

Perhaps you can explain sexual dimorphism as well and break down the categories of male and female? If you can do that then the natural law type of categorical discriminations that make up marriage can be broken down. And if you can also break down the distinction between human and animal then perhaps other natural law categorical discriminations can be broken down. These outcomes are not really the issue but I believe concern about these normative outcomes is what motivates people in descriptive debate.
