Nope, they can't. Which is why you hear nothing but deafening silence when you provide them with actual evidence.
As a Christian, science could "prove" that homosexuality is not a choice and it wouldn't mean anything from a Christian standpoint.
God's word speaks to people CHOOSING to fornicate with those of the same sex.
So in that regard "proving" such a thing scientifically in no way affects what God says is sin.

I've always kind of wondered.Back to square one, Zaac. AND, we ALWAYS come back to square one. YOU are a sinner ...correct? So, why is a homosexual MORE of a sinner than you are? The question is real, by the way. I can never figure this one out. I mean, "I" can't point the finger at anyone because I'm unworthy ...how come you can?

Yeah, thats right. Anyone different to the majority is an unhealthy person with a disorder. Left handers, red heads and caucasians should all be rounded up and put into camps so they don't contaminate the healthy majority.
Except that the natural occurence of homosexuality means roughly 5-10% of people will be homosexual. Those rates don't threaten the survival of the species.what hand you use, what race you are and the color of your hair are irrelevant to the survival of a species.
However, the lack of desire to have a heterosexual mate / family could be quite detrimental and becomes disadvantageous to the nature of the race.
What do you think the word "natural" means?To apersonsaperson.
The research you have cited comes before the APA have admitted there is no consensus of scientific opinion for what you claim. Certainly people do have same sex attractions, but they have all kind of sexual attractions and it doesn't mean that are all right because they are all natural, they arent all natural.
Secondly of course its a lifestyle choice, to follow it or not. To be greedy, a natural tempatition and orientation for me, is likewise something I choose to persue or not.

The Darwinian paradox of male homosexuality in humans is examined, i.e. if male homosexuality has a genetic component and homosexuals reproduce less than heterosexuals, then why is this trait maintained in the population? In a sample of 98 homosexual and 100 heterosexual men and their relatives (a total of over 4600 individuals), we found that female maternal relatives of homosexuals have higher fecundity than female maternal relatives of heterosexuals and that this difference is not found in female paternal relatives. The study confirms previous reports, in particular that homosexuals have more maternal than paternal male homosexual relatives, that homosexual males are more often later-born than first-born and that they have more older brothers than older sisters. We discuss the findings and their implications for current research on male homosexuality.
What could the mother be reacting to? There are several genes expressed only in males, and some are already known to raise an immune reaction in mothers. Some are expressed prenatally in the brain. One intriguing new possibility is a gene called PCDH22, which is on the Y chromosome, is therefore specific to males, and is probably involved in building the brain. It is the recipe for a protocadherin (see Chaper 5). Could this be the gene that wires the bit of the brain that is peculiar to males? A maternal immune reaction may be sufficient to prevent the wiring of the part of the brain that would eventually encourage a fascination with female bodies.
Just because something is distasteful to you, doesn't mean it is distasteful to human beings generally.A deafening silence of AWESOME:
it proves that homosexuality is a syndrome that makes people differ from regular human beings due to genetic reasons, making it akin to any other good, old fashioned disorder.
Humans are wired to mate with people of the opposite gender for the creation of families.
Homosexuals are not.
Thus, homosexuals are unhealthy -- they do not have the fundamental goal of procreation for their society. Just as such, a sterile person is unhealthy because they cannot procreate.
However, a homosexual in not possessing the deisre to mate with people of the opposite gender is especially awkward before their fellow humans as they practice something that is fundamentally distasteful to the human being.

You do realise, that being homosexual is not the same thing as fornicating, don't you?
David.
You do realize, don't you, that is the reason I said science proving that homosexuality is not a choice wouldn't change a thing from a Christian standpoint?
God hasn't said anything about folks just "being". It's not a sin to identify as a homosexual anymore than it's a sin to identify as a heterosexual. Though some might think so, Biblically, it just ain't so.
His word speaks to certain ACTS as being sinful. So "proving" that homosexuality is not a choice wouldn't change a thing as far as God's word is concerned.
This illustrates my own long held belief that homosexuality is absolutely a disorder, just as it was once classified before the issue became politicized by the gay lobby. So let's agree it is a deformity of the mind(like bi-polar) and let's see if we can cure it.
I'm assuming by this statement you are trying to conclude that homosexuality can be a "learned" thing or that it can develop through nurture.How does any of this prove that these changes were there in the womb and at birth?
