Given the many diseases associated with homosexuality, the [[Bible]] prohibition against homosexuality is arguably one of the many examples where the [[Bible scientific foreknowledge|Bible exhibited knowledge that was ahead of its time]].  However such an argument is weak in several respects; the Bible does not actually predict any such diseases, nor does it base its moral condemnation on any such disease incidence; far more health problems have been historically associated with pregnancy, which would seem to condemn heteroseuxality (at least for women); and [[Atheism_and_morality|morality based on self-interest would not apply to someone powerful or skilled enough to avoid the negative consequences]] (implying, for example, that homosexuality would be fine if medical techniques could avoid disease, or murder would be fine if one could get away with it just once, etc.)
