And that means you lose the whole shootin’ match.But what makes you fundamentally human is that you have human DNA. hehe. Lovely. So this human DNA of mine just magically popped into me by "evolUUshun." You’ve magically skipped over the fundamental identity of my DNA to instead refer only to its slightly higher aspect of being “HUMAN.” This is not terribly bright, but it does suggest your understanding and fear of my overall view. You are trying to assault the root of my argument by skipping over it. It is most gratifying to see, despite the fact that it is dishonest and boorish. Okay. Let’s deal with it. Sure, the identity of my DNA is “human,” but not merely human. There is a more fundamental definition that cannot simply be skipped as you have here attempted. While maintaining the humanness of my identity in your mind, come back to where I started you. Resist the temptation to jump back to your arbitrary low-res comfort zone and move back down, through the broader identity of “human,” down toward a more fundamental identity, right down to a particular human that is comprised of biological “momdad,” which is me . That is where human definition ceases. Should you go further, you would have to break “momdad” into components and I would not exist. This is the most fundamental human definition of all. Everything that you are, that you know, is built of this-- and homosexuality cannot be found there at all. It is non-human.Human DNA is the product of some 4 billion years of the evolution of life on Earth…(snipped some seriously stupid stuff about evolOOshun being my fundamental identity…) Well if you need to hold onto your faith for comfort, I am perfectly willing to let you have it because it is completely irrelevant here; and besides I don’t think you could stomach having your religion shattered in two different places so closely together in time. Keep your fantasies, Steven. For now, I am dealing only with natural reality.
