I was in a discussion about homosexuality being a sin in the Christian Forums. A humanist came in and was trying to justify it being normal through animals in nature. Apparently animals have had homosexual tendencies. While that may be true and all, it amazes me that people try to justify human behavior based on animal behavior. Humans were created in the image of God, animals were not. Animals live based on instinct, and humans do not.
Even if you wanted to apply science to this animal behavior it fails to be "normal". It makes absolute perfect sense that a species would WANT to annihilate itself, doesn't it? If it isn't asexual, it depends on the other gender to procreate and "survival of the fittest" would not apply because they do not want to survive.
I would assume the general consensus in science is that humans and animals seek to find better ways of surviving. Limiting the gene pool and reducing the population does not make sense. If we left this "natural" subject up to science, it would seem that through natural selection, humans don't want to exist (at least the ones that support and promote homosexuality).
It's comparing apple and oranges, but if you really want to compare, consider that it scientifically makes no sense for a species to want to annihilate itself by not reproducing (perfectly in line with God's command to "be fruitful and multiply").
A two-headed turtle can certainly exist in nature. That doesn't mean it is normal.
