No you made the claim, now it is time for you to prove, that your Catholic view of the bible is credible, and you need to do so with scientific evidence. If you cannot do that, then do the right thing, and admit the bible is not the correct way to view human behaviors.
I am quite sure you already accept that the Quran contains no scientific evidence that defends the need for a woman to wear a burka.
Don't hit and run. Prove that Catholic interpretation of gays is scientifically sound.
I can't prove that, and never claimed I could. However, I have had a personal experience that has been proof to me of God's existence, and of Catholicism specifically. Can I use this as proof for anyone else? No. Not unless they took my word for what I would say happened. I just know in my heart that it is true, and I'm ok with others not agreeing. I have 0 interest in trying to convert anyone here. Looks like you're looking for a fight, but you'll just have to go look somewhere else.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
