By definition, homosexuals will have fewer children than heterosexuals. By definition, the genes of homosexuals will die out. That's simple evolution.

Children with the inherited disease of Tay-Sachs die before puberty. Like homosexuals, they have fewer children than people without Tay-Sachs disease. (Actually, they have no children.) So why hasn't that gene died out?

Some do. Not all.

Like homosexuals, they have fewer children than people without Tay-Sachs disease. (Actually, they have no children.) So why hasn't that gene died out?

Well, then, evolution is false, isn't it? The very concept -- the definition -- of evolution as an explanation of both the origin of life and the development of life forms is that adaptive genes will prevail and maladaptive genes die out.

If you don't have that, you don't have evolution. Period.

If maladapative genes do not die out, then evolution is false. Correct?

So, to start with, we agree that evolution is absolutely false and is a hoax perpetrated upon mankind. Agreed?

But....

1) Tay-Sachs Disease -- unlike homosexuality -- shows a distinct geographic distribution. "The most striking disparate pattern was the geographic distribution of the two primary Tay-Sachs disease mutations, with the first being more common in central Europe (and likely older) and the second being exclusive to eastern Europe (primarily Lithuania and Russia) (and likely much younger). "

That is, a genetic mutation ORIGINATES at a particular place and time. It does not fall off the sky.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1180346/

For a variation to have a genetic basis it must * S T A R T * somewhere. This is another respect in which liberal activists are ignorant of silence and ignorant of evolution.

With Tay-Sachs disease, it is concentrated in a specific geographic region of the Earth (or at least the populations from that region.

If homosexuality had a genetic basis, it would similarly be concentrated in the region of the Earth where the genetic anomaly originated.

2) Similarly, Tay-Sachs Disease appears concentrated among Ashkenazi Jews.

So the ethnic group in which it first originated still shows the high concentration of the genetic anomaly in the group where it started.

By contrast, we see no such concentration of homosexuality in either one ethnic group nor one region of the planet geographically.

3) The analysis of Ty-Sachs Disease also shows distinct CHANGES about 500 years ago and 1100 years ago.

We see alterations in the genetic distribution and frequency of Ty-Sachs Disease, even just 500 years ago.

By contrast, we see no such variation over time with homosexuality, because it is a developmental disorder, with no genetic basis.

4) Tay Sachs Disease is "extremely rare"

5) "Getting genetic counseling is highly recommended for Tay-Sachs patients who are planning to get married or considering becoming parent."

http://www.taysachsdisease.com/

People do have children even though they are Tay-Sachs patients.

6) "Tay-Sachs is a serious condition that can be diagnosed in people of all ages."

7) "baby, inherits two copies of genes, one from each parent. When both of these are defective genes, they lead to the mutation which causes Tay-Sachs disease. So, mutations in the HEXA gene cause Tay-Sachs disease. The mutated gens carried by both parents show no signs or symptoms of the disease. This is why commonly parents have no idea that their baby may inherit them and consequently develop this deadly disease."

Furthermore, recessive genes — like Tay-Sachs Disease — will show a distinct pattern of skipping generations.

We see no such pattern with homosexuality.

We do not see a concentration of homosexuality in a family line.

There may be a greater acceptance of homosexuality in certain families, due to having homosexuals in that family. So we may see slightly elevated examples of REPORTED homosexuality in certain families.

But we do not see either generation skipping patterns of recessive genes (and necessary, unavoidable if there are recessive genes) or concentration of homosexuality in family lines.

Tay-Sachs Disease is expressed and manifest when the genes passed on to a particular baby from NEITHER parent contain the enyzyme necessary to remove fatty acid build up in the nerves and brain cells.

This is a recessive genetic pattern.

But, once again, homosexual activists (who are mostly NOT homosexual themselves) do not understand science, genetics, or evolution or what they are talking about.

A recessive gene will still be concentrated in a particular family line and will show up in a generation-skipping pattern that WE DO NOT SEE with homosexuality.

What we do see is genetically identical twins in which one genetically identical twin is homosexual and the other is heterosexual.

Homosexuality is developmental, not genetic.
