On another blog, a blogger stated that "their God" loves gays. Besides wondering if they have little wooden tiki guys they worship, that allow them to definitively state what their God does and doesn't like (eg: "God likes broccoli", "God likes to watch Wapner at 7"), I have to wonder why they would think God loves gays, when nature clearly does not.

See, the ultimate goal of a species in regards to natural selection is its own advancement. This can only happen when people are procreating (I could use coarser terms, but this is a PG rated blog, and, well, I'm sure MOST of you get the picture. If not, there are trade magazines that can help you with that). Now, usually to reproduce, a species must produce surplus to account for attrition due to top level predators. Fortunately, my good friends Colt, Smith, and Wesson have allowed us to veto that whole attrition process in a rather effective way. However, the fact remains that nature wants us to procreate.

Well, it goes without saying that one can only procreate when one of each gender is selected in the...err, mating process. Can't do it with same gender partnerships. Doesn't work. And enough people have tried to say this is pretty conclusive at this point.

So if God created nature, then God could have created nature so that His chosen people could procreate. And if God loved gays so much, he'd let 'em have babies.

But Elton John remains childless!
