| How about Biology and ecology? |

We know that there is an order to nature. We understand life in the via positiva. Marine biology, limnology, and the various studies of ecosystems reveal to us that there is a delicate balance to nature. If something is altered artificially then there will be negative reactions within that particular ecosystem, perhaps even to the entire planet. This is evident in Amazon rain forests, trout streams in the Pacific Northwest, or the small ponds around Kansas that are close to the enormous poultry and hog farms. Now, look at the ratio of males to females. It is roughly 50% of each, perhaps 51% males to 49% females. There is a reason for this. The law of numbers does not lie. If we tamper with nature with intended sterility of marriage, same-sex marriage, and abortion, then nature is unsettled and taken from order. We could say, nature backfires. The primary pillar of human society is the family comprised of man and woman and child. If we alter this pillar we will negatively affect society. We cannot attack the integrity of nature, without creating problems. It is troubling to think of government trying to redefine or change nature through legislation. Subsidize the union. To have same-sex marriage it will take radical invasiveness by the government. There will need to be increased subsidization of a sanctioned lifestyle that cannot create its own family. This will be expensive. In the name of compassion (pity) that reaches beyond mere tolerance of homosexual lifestyles, various members of the legislature and the now acting president desire to fully embrace and affirm actions that cannot sustain society. It is sociologically incoherent to imagine that we can both radically redefine marriage and transfer its transcendent, cultural and social significance to same-sex couples, as if the former does not alter and undermine the latter. The government will need to legally ensure that homosexuals can adopt children as the homosexual will not procreate. The homosexual couple is not able to bring stability to society or sustain society through progeny. |
