Did you find the pack of gay wolves?

Look, animals are animals, if they find some stimulation that makes them feel good, they will pursue it, it does not make them gay. But if you are asking me if animals are capable of birth defects, or mental illness, then I agree with you. But people are still not animals, which is science.

So, does homosexuality in nature explain homosexuality in humans? Yes or no? You seem to be conflicted.

It is awful enough that the animals are in captivity but to deny them access to female penguin so they could reproduce is sick.

Just amazing!

Sounds like what a lot of humans do.

If your statement above applies to humans, would you agree that homosexual behavior in humans does not necessarily make them "gay"? There are many men who have occasional homosexual encounters, but still consider themselves to be heterosexual or mostly heterosexual.

Could you please point out any verse or scripture of the Bible that condones or promotes homosexuality.

There are plenty that condone it and warn of it, we each have our opinions but don't infer that somewhere in the Bible your lifestyle is promoted.

This is the last & final time I'm going to post this. Humans are in the Kingdom Animalia. Refer back to your basic biology class. Am I the only one on here who understands this simple fact? Here, a simple classification of homo sapiens (that's us) Classification of Homo sapiens
It's called scientific nomenclature, the classifying of species. For those of you who cringe at being related to apes, check out the order we're under...that's right "primate"

your argument is cut short by your assumption that the listener accepts the advance of darwinian theory. a majority rejects that theory, and, therefore your argument fails. i do not come from an ape, nor do i accept the theories of evolution, i.e. big bang, darwinian evolution.

No I can't. I've never read the Bible.

I didn't say that, and I never would because I think the Bible is a bunch of hooey.

I wasn't even referring to homosexuality in my statement. I said that people read articles about science in the same way they read the Bible. They believe the parts they want to believe and ignore the rest. This applies to a wide range of topics, from not eating shellfish to not wearing mixed fabric clothing.

I've heard that the Bible also says you're supposed to stone your wife to death if you find out she wasn't a virgin when you married her. Of course, like everything else in the Bible, I guess that's subject to interpretation.
