More off-topic questions for Wayne:
3. Since you have cited your authority & expertise as a biologist as support for
your opinions on the moral status of homosexuality, do you hold that the great
majority of biologists hold the same opinion on the same basis? It seems to me
that, if there is not a strong consensus among the great majority of qualified
biologists on the moral question, then your supposed credentials as a biologist
are of no avail whatever in supporting your moral views. (Looks like you quote
the Bible instead.)
Indeed, some biologists take very different views. For example, Edward O.
Wilson in _On Human Nature_ (Harvard U.P., 1978), chapter 6, esp. pages 141-
-7 on the prevalence of homosexuality in many species and human cultures.
Do you consider your biological authority & expertise greater than Wilson's?
4. This raises the question of your judgment on the validity of the
supernatural creationist account in Genesis 1 & 2. Do you consider more
worthy of belief than the Darwinian-Mendelian account of evolution in modern
biology? If so, please explain.
