Science and religion are near opposites. Why you ask? Because of the way they work. In science, Evidence is found, and is followed by a theory. In Religion, An idea was stated, followed by the creation of evidence to prove the theory. So in a way, religion is only true because it was made true.

On another note, I would like to challenge the bible in a few ways. Firstly, When Noah created his ark and the world flooded, he saved 2 of each animals. However, genes show that reproduction from 2 animals cannot create for more than several generations, due to the fact that it would cause genetic mishaps. This would apply to Adam and Eve as well.
And what about plants? Animals need to eat something. Some may say that Instead of the world being flooded, only HIS world was flooded, meaning as far as he could see. But if that is the case, how did he get 2 of ALL the animals?

It's proven that it's not something done by choice and even so you would have to them apply this to animals as well. Since most animals on this planet have shown to have members of there species with homosexual tendencies.


Exactly, a few months ago I read about tests being run, for the same scientists locating homosexual animals had theories about it actually improving survivability chances for the species. (It would supposedly be able to trigger change of sexes, but I'm going way too far because they don't have any kind of proof yet, it's more like wishful thinking.)


Like how the bible says humans were made from only Adam and Eve.

Like how so many cases of human inbreeding, tests on animals and plants and even self-pollination show:
A race or species cannot survive through inbreeding.

He made people so they could be fruitful and multiple, not just so they could have, you now. If it was all males than no one would be here would they? And anyway, don't call people names just open your own minds and besides I'd rather be a lamb for Jesus than a pig for Satan!!!

I'm the one being open minded. I was born catholic and I found atheism a better alternative. I WAS BEING OPEN MINDED. Again you are proving to be an uneducated idiot. Shall I point out that homosexuality is proven to be biology and not choice? That means it is not 'fixable'. Anyways I've already stated that I don't believe in creationism so God did not create Adam and Eve. So it was evolution. So who are you to say God didn't like homosexuals. It does in one part of the bible, which also says that rascism and slavery are ok. Great.

Like to see what Bible you're reading. The Bible does not condone racism in any form.

As for slavery, in the old days it was different than the connotations it carries today. When people went into debt, they became servants to pay it off. They would serve for six years and then be set free with full compensation from the master, and be given the right to return in case they got into trouble, financial or otherwise. In addition, every 50 years was a Jubilee year in which all slaves would be free. So slavery in the Bible is more of a servanthood, and these servants still retained their human identity. In fact, in the early church several ex-slaves became bishops.

At the same time, many other things are condemned. Racial-slavery is condemned; just look at the Israelites in Egypt. The kidnapping and sale of other humans is also explicitly condemned.

And the Bible's historic use to condone slavery in the United States? Pathetic. We call them wolves in sheep's clothing.

There. I've read it in a scientific journal and well that's what I found on the internet that wasn't so biased.

Homosexuality is not biological. It depends on the person's environment while growing up.

Here's one more link on the matter of homosexuality.

exactly. one of the main points of that movie was that homosexuality is in your genes.

if it were not a genetic disorder, and simply genes that could be passed down, it wouldn't spread very much at all, and would probably die out for the most part, seeing as homosexuals don't mate very much.

that is, not to say, that some homosexuality is influenced by parents.

From the links it suggests it's not just genes but hormonal factors.

Homosexuality is a hormonal imbalance, which could be entirely or partially genetic.

It's most likely passed down in certain families as a recessive gene - some families have lots of homosexual people in them, while some families are entirely heterosexual, which points to a genetic causation of it.

Homosexuality depends mostly (I hope) from external factors (family, friends, culture etc.).
I really don't want to think that homosexuality depends from some genetic factors, cause already many persons ask/want to do tests to babies before their birth to see if it has a chance of becoming homosexual. The reason of that is that many parents don't want to have homosexual kids, if a test says that the kid will become homosexual many parents would chose to abort the baby.
