Homosexuality presents a serious problem for Darwinism because if it's biologically determined--and homosexuals claim that they are born that way--then Darwin's theory of Natural Selection collapses like a house of cards.
The theory of Natural Selection teaches that only the fittest among all living species are allowed to survive and reproduce while the unfit are eliminated by nature. If Natural Selection is true, then homosexuality shouldn't exist because homosexuals would be unfit to survive. In what way? Because they can't procreate and reproduce themselves which means that they are unfit to move up the evolutionary ladder. Thus, much like a religion, homosexuality can only survive and maintain itself by recruiting new members.
And so, homosexuality and Natural Selection are only compatible if homosexuality is an alternative and arbitrary lifestyle that is derived from the prevailing culture it comes from. The theory of Natural Selection destroys all biological arguments for homosexuality by rendering it unnatural to the process of evolution and unnecessary to the survival and advancement of the human species. Thus, homosexuality is alien to evolution and evolution is alien to homosexuality. Both are unable to coexist because if homosexuality is indeed determined by biology rather than by individual choice then Darwin's theory of evolution becomes a failed theory. And if evolution is scientifically valid then homosexuality becomes a lifestyle determined by choice rather than by nature.
The only case for biological homosexuality is creationism. In fact, many homosexuals claim that God created them that way and heterosexuality would be unnatural and harmful to them. But if God did indeed create them that way, then why did he condemn homosexuality in the Mosaic Law (Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13) and then again under the New Covenant? (Romans 1:26-27, 1Corinthians 6:9-11) Why would God create certain people with a sexual orientation that he condemns? And why would God create certain people with a sexual orientation that makes them susceptible to shorter lifespans and deadly diseases because of their sexual practices?
And if homosexuality is indeed natural, then what about such sexual orientations as pedophilia and bestiality? If the Bible's laws concerning sexual behavior are incorrect as homosexuals claim, then how do we determine what's natural and what's not? If homosexuals can claim that their sexual orientation is biologically determined, then so can pedophiles and everyone else that practices a form of sexuality that the Bible defines as perversion. Thus, when God's transcendent moral laws concerning human sexuality are cast aside, then anything goes.
The fornicator can make the claim that he was born to have sex with women outside of marriage, and that abstinence would be harmful to his biology. And the adulterer can make the claim that God created him to have sex with women married to other men. Without God's ultimate standard of judgment, anything goes and it usually does. Without God's unchangeable rules, society quickly collapses into a sewer of chaos and moral depravity.
Moral depravity flourishes sans the fear of God and respect for his laws, statutes and commandments. A society that turns its back on God eventually destroys itself. Here's what the apostle Paul wrote concerning what becomes of those who reject God and his laws: "Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them." (Romans 1:28-32)
That's what homosexuality grows out of--rebellion, not biology. But the antidote is Jesus Christ and the power of his salvation that cleanses us from sin and delivers us from the grip of its evil power.
Well written. Unfortunately, I am here because of a struggle with a public school attempting to indoctrinate my child against creationism by silencing her right to free speech and,in that public institution which survives on my tax money paid, her right to freedom OF religious expression!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that those who believe that they are evolved monkeys, throw poo at everyone who questions them, isn't it? My question: How did homosexuality survive when homosexual monkeys could not procreate, which is against a rule of Darwinism? Not to mention that the fossil record has consistently disproved that theorem!
