[QUOTE="dies-l, post: 51177510"] Politics make any such research particularly subjective. If a scientist were to discover, for example, that inappropriate behavior with animals or pedophilia were genetic determined inclinations, that scientist would likely be ostracised by the scientific community and would be accused of supporting those perversions. If, however, a scientist makes the same observation about homosexuality, the emotional reaction by his opponents will be less vocal (homosexuality is not nearly as threatening as pedophilia, for example), and he would have base of supporters to ensure that his career as a scientist would not by drastically hindered by the announcement of his discovery. I don't know the whole extent to which homosexuality is determined by nature. My suspicion is that some people do, in fact, have a predisposition (whether this is genetic, I do not know, but I tend to doubt it) to homosexual attraction. Whether that means that homosexuality as a lifestyle is morally good from a Christian standpoint is another question, one that I tend to stay away from because it is not a question in need of answering in regard to my own decisionmaking. (In other words, I have no desire to engage in homosexual activities, so it is irrelevent to my life whether this is sin.) [/QUOTE]
