I know it has been a while since I have blogged but thus goes the world with applications such as Twitter. But here I am finding the need once more.
I read an article (http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20427370.800-homosexual-selection-the-power-of-samesex-liaisons.html?full=true) on the evolutionary theories behind same sex behavior in the animal kingdom and something struck me that I hadn't realized until now. Homosexuality could be a step in the direction to disprove evolution.
I'm sure this comes as no shock to folks that the devout are not touting this bit of evidence, but if you think about it, why would same sex coupling exists in animals when there is no clear benefit to the survival of the species? I'm sure this is not a new thought but I am also sure it is not widely spoken about. The article is actually about what scientist are theorizing as to why homosexuality exists in the animal world, but they all seem to be fairly weak arguments.
So the way I see it is one of these is true:
1. At least part of the Evolution Theory is incorrect.
2. Homosexuality is a genetic flaw
3. God is here and wants and supports homosexuality
I don't mean to do so, but I'm quite sure I just pissed off everyone I know, despite which theory you subscribe to. I just love the irony and the flaw in all of these, Evolution, Homosexuality: Born not choice, and God hates gays. What this tells me is that there is quite a bit of work to be done to explain it all. So until the Theory of Everything is perfected, we will just rage on with the debate.
