Seldom is there a good argument against such things as homosexual marriage. Here is one case that might compel someone to think instead of react. In the current world we live in, there are two main theories of how humans became humans. There is there the more secular view of evolution and the religious view of creation. While I hold to the latter, there is good cause to show that neither support homosexual behavior.
The key to this argument is with the phrase, due to modifications in successive generations. Another point to the process of evolution is known as survival of the fittest. The concept is self-explanatory, but can be researched at http://www.bartleby.com/11/4003.html.
For the sake of argument this statement needs to be made...There are no known cases of naturally-occurring mammalian parthenogenesis in the wild. In layman terms, mammals cannot produce offspring (children) without a partner of the other sex. Simple logic then becomes clear. In the theory of evolution, if homosexual activity was anything other than choice, there would be no mammals left on Earth. There are those that will argue against this, but in the light of facts, it would just better to admit it is a choice.
Religious creation is simple as well. God made them man and woman. Adam in the Garden could not have reproduced without Eve. For the sake of the next statements, it needs to be clear that there is a deference between religion and philosophy. Religions are not tolerant or flexible in nature. The term religious is: 3 a: scrupulously and conscientiously faithful. Philosophy is: b: a search for a general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative rather than observational means. Once religion becomes flexible or tolerant it crosses over to philosophy. So from the religious prospective, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhism all discourage homosexual acts. In the Jewish and Muslim faiths, it is a death penalty.
The premise being simple, the act of homosexual activity adds nothing to the Human race. It does nothing to further the Human race. If it was practiced exclusively there would be no Human race. Evolution made them man and female. So did God.
Why the rant? The insistence of the movement to accept the behavior just because we should is annoying. People have said, "it is the right thing to do". Honestly and the empirical evidence shows that is it the wrong thing to do, scientifically and religiously. Humans tend to enjoy things that do nothing to further the human race or make it better. This will always be the case, but stop pretending that it is okay and that it should be accepted just because.
