Here's a link explaining how pheromones work. As you read it, keep in mind that based on blind studies, those who claimed to be homosexual neurologically responded to the pheromones of the same gender. Those who claimed to be heterosexual responded neurologically responded to pheromones from the opposite gender. This is believed to begin in our species very early, explaining why many homosexuals claim they have always been homosexual and never "chose" to be. While the mere sight and scent of my babysitter (Tammy) would send me giggling and blushing as a 3 year old... another male 3 year old child finds themselves giggling and blushing at the sight and scent of their dad's fishing buddy (Herald). lol
Everything in us contradicts Gods' Word from birth... until we are born again (Regeneration).

We have much more sickness today do to our food supply and the vaccines we put in our bodies. For instance, today, people are getting shingles - a result of the chickenpox vaccines years ago. That can mess up your body chemistry for sure. Actually, I read a link, some time back, a foreign scientist (can't recall his name) saying vaccines can change the hormonal chemistry causing some to become gay. You can check out the effects of soybean on a boy's body as well.
I'm sure you have seen the video clip with Bill Gates boldly speaking about how we can use vaccines to cut down on world population. A rich, rich man who wants to own and manage the world.

Very interesting.

You are saying that God has purposely formed and created a person into something He condemns. I don't see that as plausible nor acceptable. Having a propensity to sin because of our sinful nature is very plausible. With my fallen nature I "can become" anything I give myself over to being. As I stated, I "can become" a thief, but I wasn't born a thief.

We have people born with horrific and yes, even painful, deformities. Did God purposefully form and create a person to be disfigured and suffer, sometimes struggling for breath itself? Nope. Abnormalities happen. As you suggested they can result from drugs, maybe vaccines, various types of food... and yes... sometimes it just happens due to some fateful chromosomal combination. God isn't the author of these abnormalities. God created man in sinless perfection without any abnormality, disease, or imperfection. Again, it is sin itself that has caused us to have to endure this fallen state. And sadly, this is often made manifest from birth itself.
While we can't say that one is born a thief or a gambler... we do know that some appear to be hardwired for a predisposition towards various behaviors. For some, the levels of adrenaline and dopamine created in the brain when stealing or gambling are greater than others, thereby leaving them predisposed toward becoming habitual with regards to these behaviors more than others.

I would look more toward manmade causes for this phenomena in the body before I would look at God as the cause. I also know that some won't want that discussion as we love our doctors and our medicine. It's just that we have more hospitals and clinics than we do churches. Something has gone amiss. Someone is making the big bucks and using us as the Guinea pigs.

Again, God isn't the cause. Sin is. It has corrupted our nature. Like a computer virus that has infected and corrupted our system files, causing us to work and function differently than the way we as a species was originally designed to function.
