Natural Selection and Homosexuality

Fit for survival?

Darwinian Evolution and homosexuality are simply incompatible and irreconcilable.

How so? Because if Darwin's theory of Natural Selection is true, then homosexuals aren't fit to survive and therefore will become extinct. What makes them unfit for survival? Because they can't procreate and perpetuate their own kind.

Therefore, those who claim their lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender orientation to be biological and unchangeable are faced with a very serious dilemma. If they believe in evolution, then they can't claim that their sexual orientation is natural because Natural Selection (Survival of the Fittest) wouldn't allow unfit members of a species to survive.

A member of any species that is biologically driven toward having sex with members of its own gender and driven away from sex with the opposite gender can't survive. And obviously if they can't survive, they'll become extinct.

Why is Darwinian Evolution extremely important to gays and lesbians? Because it offers them an escape from moral accountability to God, His commandments and His transcendent moral laws. If evolution is true, then God doesn't exist and physical life is merely the product of random evolutionary forces.

If that's true, then morals and ethics are relative and reduced to human constructs that are changeable. And obviously, if evolution is true, then death becomes the ultimate end of life and no eternal judgment awaits beyond the grave.

And so, those who identify as gays and lesbians and reject traditional Judeo-Christian mores need to explain why Natural Selection allows for their survival. The orthodox theory of evolution teaches that random natural forces are continually perfecting living species by weeding out the unfit. If evolution is evidential science, then we should be seeing fewer gays and lesbians rather than more of them.

Thus, gays and lesbians are faced with this dilemma; since Natural Selection contradicts their claim that their sexual orientation is biological, then they chose their orientation out of their own free will. And if they willingly chose that orientation, then they are living in rebellion against God and His unchangeable laws.

Certainly, there are those who are physically attracted to members of their own sex. Just as there are those who are physically attracted to children, animals, objects etc. The sexual nature of human beings is very powerful and even destructive if not controlled. Unfortunately, it's often driven by the fallen sin nature that exists in every human being. For whatever reasons, that fallen nature drives some to become rapists, pedophiles, adulterers, fornicators and homosexuals.

But no matter how powerful the sin nature may be in us, the power of Jesus Christ to deliver us from that fallen nature is far greater. If we are willing to admit that we're living in rebellion against God and His commandments, and we're willing to repent of that rebellion whether it's willful or driven by our fallen nature, Christ will deliver us from that sinful power.

Not maybe, or probably, but definitely. But we must be completely willing to submit our lives to Christ and confess our sins to Him. That's how Christ delivers us from the deadly and deceitful power of sin.

Let the apostle Paul explain it: "So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:21-25)
