What is the Connection Between Homosexuality and Evolution?
John D. Morris, Ph.D.
Just last week I participated in a news conference with other
Christian leaders in Southern California, announcing a strategy to
overturn a recent "Human Dignity Ordinance" passed by the San
Diego City Council, declaring homosexuals to be a special,
favored class of citizens.
Such ordinances are being proposed and passed all over
America; this is not just a California problem, although it grips
California as it does few other states.
How can this be? How can it be, that in America, where
individual rights are constitutionally guaranteed to all
(including homosexuals), governing bodies could even contemplate
granting favored status to a behavior-based group, especially a
sexually based behavioral group? Even more, this group is known
for its total preoccupation with sexual activity, and a type
which is abhorrent to the majority of Americans. Such favored
status can only be granted at the expense of individual rights
normally granted to mainstream Americans. This makes sense only
when seen as part of a larger, even more insidious plot.
Readers of these pages are quite familiar with the social
implications of evolutionary thinking. Now, I am not saying that
if one holds to evolution he necessarily supports homosexuality.
I am saying, however, that nearly all homosexual leaders are
evolutionists, and when pressed for justification of their
homosexual lifestyle and behavior, homosexual leaders almost
always refer to evolution.
"We are descended from animals," they say; "we have certain
animal desires that must be satisfied. Few animals mate for life,
and many times animals of the same sex interact sexually.
And didn't all bisexual animals evolve from asexual animals?"
More sophisticated homosexuals would call the homosexual condition
a"beneficial mutation. "They are "born gay."
Others point to certain animal groups which lessen their
reproduction rate when the population fills the ecological niche.
"This is a way to fulfill one's sexual needs without overpopulation;
this is natural selection in action."
The Bible calls such behavior "reprobate," and homosexual justifi-
cations such as are normally given must deny the Biblical mindset,
which is founded in the creation of all things by a holy God, who
created mankind male and female, in His image, with proper
function in a marriage relationship.
Here in California, the situation is perhaps more prominent
than in most places, and is getting worse. Recently, The
Chalkboard, the newsletter of the Gay and Lesbian Educators of
Southern California, reported a meeting with Mr. Bill Honig,
California State Superintendent of Education. Mr. Honig, well
known for his aggressive advocacy of evolution (as well as his
aggressive opposition to creation),invited leading homosexual
educators into his San Francisco home to discuss ways of better
including the teaching of the homosexual agenda in California
public school classrooms (Chalkboard, Vol. 11, No. 8, October
1988). Evolutionary schools provide fertile ground for
homosexuality. This bodes ill for California, but as is well
known, trends set here are usually soon followed by the rest of
the country. Christians must become informed and involved, in
order to turn this trend around.
