It took thousands of years for the reproductive processes of the various species to develop. Now humans are fooling around with life itself, playing God. What is wrong with the traditional method?
If homosexuals and lesbians cannot reproduce with each other, they are not meant to exist as such.

I knew this was going to happen. There is absolutely nothing that scientists can't do these days. Just because they can doesn't mean they should. And think of the costs of this, lesbian and gay couples might consider the traditional approach to sperm cells in the embryos doing the test tube babies. I am still all for adoption. There are far too many children in this world who do not have parents, just because you want to create something that is "biologically" yours, you should consider adopting. That is my 2 cents worth. Soon us men will be replaced and that's the only thing these scientists care about.

Please clarify.

You first refer to the process of evolution, then follow with a reference to God.

If the reproductive processes of the various species developed over time, as you stated, then why should they not continue to develop? Where was the evolutionary stop sign?

As for your next statement, it would seem that they may in fact be able to do so if this technology is successfully developed.

I referred to God because a Being who has always existed is in no hurry in the process of creation.
Why male and female? God said, "Let us create man in our image. Male and female he created them"
Thus masculine and feminine. As for technology being developed - the very fact that an outside technology would be required is proof that homosexuals and lesbians cannot, as such, reproduce. Any species that cannot reproduce, is not meant to exist as such.

Hmm. Since my wife and I are in our later years, and are beyond the age of child bearing, does that mean we are not meant to exist?

Being homosexual or lesbian IS NOT A CONSCIOUS CHOICE. It is just how some people are.

Interesting. Because men and women can have sex and a baby created you feel this is their only purpose therefore anyone not able to create a baby should change their nature so they also can add to an ever increasing over population.

Then you have those homosexuals that tried to do what you think they should do and they had their babies. Now you want them to continue to pretend they are not what God created? Is this to make you feel better?

I don't get it.

Maybe lesbians will be able to reproduce, but gay men will not.

I find this offensive. I am not heterosexual, but some of my best friends are heterosexual, and their lives are valuable and relevant in more ways than just being breeders.

You need to re-think your position on this, if you believe acting as breeding stock is the principal value of certain human beings, just because they happen to have been born straight.

I find all of this facinating. It may be off the course of what was determined to be the best for humanity, but it is still facinating.
One must ask the question: What does it profit humanity? Is there a purpose to it?
The world is in darkness and they do not know it. The light came to the world but the world was not interested because they loved their evil deeds more than God.
God created something good, man thinks he can improve on what God did. God's purposes will not be thwarted. God may allow man to do many things, but in the end all will see things the way they really are.
Some people are searching for truth. If they are sincere, it will be revealed to them.

Daily Horoscope for December 6

Sagittarius

You still prefer to be in a world of your own, in which nothing nasty is happening, but at least you're feeling a little more realistic than you were yesterday. It's a perfect day for visiting somewhere beautiful, peaceful or relaxing, or for going to the cinema or an art gallery. But it will be difficult to get up the energy for any prolonged Christmas shopping.
