Well, how on earth can I argue with someone who won't even acknowledge it's existence.

Homosexuality exists, but what exactly is it? What is the precise trigger that determines sexual attraction? You don't know, I don't know, and until we know, it is impossible to say with certainty how and why it exists.

And doesn't that give you pause for thought.

No. The genes of individuals who for whatever reason do not reproduce are not passed on to subsequent generations. So on the contrary, that's classic selection. If every individual reproduced succesfully, there would be no selection and then, indeed, evolutionary theory would be invalidated.

You're free to speculate about such things, but they're simply irrelevant to the argument at hand. Correlated with reproduction, I think the terms are quite clear.

let me see if I understand you correctly. If those in a given population, who can reproduce, do reproduce...then evolution would be falsified?
