My post was not intended to give license to homosexuals to be free to act on their desires.

I was merely pointing out that the article is flawed science.

Every human being is born with desires and tendencies that must be curbed if that person is to live peacefully with his fellow humans. We all have desires to sin and we must daily fight those desires. Homosexuals are no different.

You said it best. We all have desires and urges that we must suppress. That is TRUE! But if someone is truly happy living with same sex partner and not trying to bother anyone else, I would leave them alone!

The article is not necessarily flawed science. It is more a statement that despite speculation, no gene associated with homosexuality has ever been found. A scientific proof would require that the gene be produced(you can not prove a negative hypothesis of existence.) Could the action of several genes or gene defects produce homosexual behavior? Perhaps, but that is speculation, and runs afoul of the general evolutionary principle that in the long run genetic outcomes that reduce successful reproduction are eventually removed from the pool. The argument that a homosexual gene combination might exits to ‘solve’ some other existential problem is literally a solution in search of a problem; possible I suppose, but not a very strong argument. In my opinion, homosexuality is much more likely a function of the wide innate range of human emotional response, or is derived from conditioning.

I’m sure it didn’t. I’m here to point out that good theology trumps all. Genetics are part of God’s plan, too. We are sinful souls plunged into a flawed life.
