So, you're arguing that homosexuality is threatening human existence because it's reducing the birth rate? That's absurd! There's certainly no shortage of births in the world. Look at the population growth rate! I think you're using your "scientific" opinion to disguise your homophobic disgust. What's natural is what is happening in the habitat! Ours and other species behavior does include homosexuality. If homosexuality is practiced then it's "natural". But, you seem to view only Victorian morality/ethics as being "natural".

You're being disingenuous with your argument. You argue that because heterosexuality is required for procreation (and who knows how much farther into the future that will continue to be true) that any percentage of homosexuality in the population is bad. That's a total leap of faith. "Man shall not condone that which is contrary to what i deem his fundamental biological nature because it would be bad for him" is your entire argument. It's nonsense, and meaningless. There's plenty of science which postulates that a certain percentage of non-procreators actually adds to the fitness of the human race. So it would be just as easy (and more scientific) to argue that repressing homosexuals is bad for civilization. Which only goes to show that your assertions are merely your own (that is the Bible's), with no basis in science or fact. After all Western (Christian) civilization has always had a certain amount of non-procreators, of homosexuals, and has continued to thrive. Steve
