Evolution is a wrong idea if you believe in creation IMO

[Rella ~ I am a woman]

But, with that being said....

If anyone here has even a quasi interest in evolution, I have a question.

What are the chances that the explosion of everything LGTBQ + these days is caused by evolutionary mutations?

And if not, why not?

It would be impossible to disprove entirely, but the evidence is against it.

1) No-one has yet found any evidence that homosexuality or transgenderism are genetically based.
2) These phenomena are nothing new (from the Bible alone, we know that homosexual behaviour existed at least 3500 years ago)
3) They occur all over the world, in every society and ethnic group. 'Successful' mutations are (almost by definition) rare, and it would be very unlikely for the same one to occur simultaneously in many different populations.
4) For evolution to be occur, the mutation would have to increase the number of offspring - and one would think that homosexual behaviour would, if anything, have the opposite effect.

Because it is not a physical mutation/defect. It is not in our genes - though they try to find a gay gene, they fail.
God designed man and woman to mate. He did not make a mistake with creation.
Since the mind is not physical, neither are your thoughts, therefore actions are not based on your genetic code. Thoughts are transmitted by chemicals, neurotransmitters, sending messages to the body to move a certain way; but the thought is not a chemical. Pain sends signals to the brain and your mind interprets where the pain is coming from. But you can't disect a brain and see thoughts.
All animals were designed as male or female as well - for a purpose, procreation. Even the botanicals are male and female. Nature does not design anything that complex. It has no power to choose beneficial mutations ( if there ever were such things). Rivers flood valleys and form lakes and canyons. Volcanic eruptions form islands. Weather creates storms, but nature does not create complexity.
Homosexuality is a choice, the act is behavioral. Thoughts that spark feelings and desires that _ in turn _ lead a person to take action on them, aren't caused by something they were born with. We are born hungry and so we need food, water and air. We need love. We need God. We need to work and be responsible. Whatever we need to do to survive requires choices.
But our choices in life need to be in line with God's purpose.
LGBT weren't born that way. That is the lie they believe that releases them from any responsibility. Their support group keeps feeding them, "It's not your fault"!
It is like implying that we are born to lie or do any other evil. We are certainly born with this sin nature, bent towards sin, having a proclivity towards evil; BUT with each temptation, we are given an opportunity to say no to it. But people say yes to all sorts of temptations. The do it, it feels good, they repeat it and then maybe it becomes habitual. And such is life, filled with choices. Even natural sex between a man and a woman is a choice: "Should I or shouldn't I have s e x with this person"? We learn to and need to control our actions. Thoughts pop into our head, and we respond to them. We need to ask ourselves: "Is this action beneficial for me or not?" "What are the consequences?" "Will it hurt me or others?" "What is sex?" "I just don't know about these thoughts, maybe I should talk to my parents or a counselor or a priest"?
And where is the father? Absence of father leads to many problems in childhood development. I have heard that 95% of gays have either no relationship with their fathers or very little.
It's a choice!

God created everything just as the account in Genesis but then things evolved as they continue to do. But I don't believe one species can evolve into another.

 

[Jericho]

There have been twin studies where one was homosexual and the other was heterosexual. If genes were the determining factor in sexuality, then there would be no such deviations. It has more to do with environmental factors.

I would say the explosion of the alphabet lifestyle has more to do with our spiritual condition. It's not a coincidence that this happens to a greater degree in pegan societies, which we have become. Then factor in the internet, which allows ideas and perversions to propagate rapidly.

 

[Chains Broken]

My answer to your question is that I don't think it's from genetic mutations because I don't think being lgbt is genetic (like Jericho's post). I think it happens from early life experiences and events. I think the "explosion" is mostly not gay people but people who say they are transgender, nonbinary, etc. and are one of or a combination of:

1. Young people who either want to rebel against their parents or "the system,"
2. People who feel lost and are looking for a community and want to belong, and convince themselves they're part of it
3. An unbalanced upbringing or past trauma
4. Kids who have normal feelings but are confused by adults repeatedly telling them that those feelings mean they are lgbt

Keep in mind that sexuality can be confusing for kids, they might not even know what sex is but they feel attracted to the other gender. They might misconstrue normal attraction as them wanting to actually BE the other gender, and by the time they have a full adult understanding of their feelings they're too dug in, maybe even already made some permanent choices.

And also people, especially kids, will do a lot to fit in and feel accepted. They will often try to be someone they're not (think peer pressure).

There have been twin studies where one was homosexual and the other was heterosexual. If genes were the determining factor in sexuality, then there would be no such deviations. It has more to do with environmental factors.

You're correct, I just want to point out tough that they were identical twin studies, so they have the same DNA but different sexualities.

Evolve ? Maybe it's just that's it's the bastardsation of the word nowadays ? Like Progressive ? They say such is Progressive, but in fact such is not progressive at all, it's retarded in fact !
A progressive life style ? is not progressive at all, it's regressive, deranged, Queer, etc etc in fact ! It's the work of the Devil in fact, for such is a deception in fact and all such we can see is Temptation ! and who falls for such, Weak minded people in fact ! ones with no backbone or lack of Virtue in fact ! Just go talk to such people and you find out that they have no foundations but only dog cunning and all about themselves period, they do not care about anyone truly but fulfilling their own ego.

Things do evolve ? or they can evolve somewhat but their is a limit.
A Communist mate claims that this generation is and has evolved ? and that past generations are nothing worthy of this generation. I said do you think so ! yes he is a new age man ? a Metro sexual ! this means that he has evolved ? above his forefathers and all who are not of his ilk ! He has no children or wife, has no interest regards such as that ! being responsible is not his bag ? because he can not handle such a duty ! and he is 63yo now. but he sees all below him, for he is the master of his own domain ? and supports the Lefty dribble.
They just float along with it all ! for they can not think for themselves truly ? They live in a bubble !
Their key to problems is nonsense not to mention sick ! shallow short sighted nonsense that will not work !
We have a Premier of the State who is just like that, lives a lie and spins BS 24/7 he is just a little boy ! They turn it on others, making it all up fantasy land dribble, with no true regards at all ! for they are off with the pixies in fact !

The word play of Socialist is an abomination !

I dont believe we came from Lucy... but when things mutate and there is breeding involved the offspring of 2 mutations will produce a like kind usually... and so on and so on

What are the chances that the explosion of everything LGTBQ + these days is caused by evolutionary mutations?

And if not, why not?

I think the chances are nil. I think the explosion of everything LGTBQ is caused by people giving in to temptation. The pope hasn't been any help at all, in my opinion.
