Homosexual ''behavior'' [[Homosexuality and choice|is voluntary and subject to control by the human will]], just as heterosexual behavior is. Sex and intimacy, though, are basic necessities of human life, and acting on them, whether they be heterosexual or homosexual, is natural.

===Genetics, Evolutionary Paradigm, and Creation Science ===
In 1993, Professor [[Miron Baron]], M.D., the renowned medical researcher and Professor at [[Columbia University]], wrote in [[BMJ]] (British Medical Journal) that there is a conflict in relation to the theory of [[evolution]] and the notion of genetic determinism in regards to homosexuality. Dr. Baron wrote "...from an evolutionary perspective, genetically determined homosexuality would have become [[extinct]] long ago because of reduced reproduction."<ref>[http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1678219 BMJ. 1993 August 7; 307(6900): 337–338.]</ref>
In addition, an individual's beliefs regarding [[creation science]]/[[Creationism|creationism]] and [[Evolution|the theory of evolution]] appear to influence their views on homosexuality. Creationist scientists assert that the theory of evolution cannot account for the origin of gender and sexual reproduction.<ref>http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/136</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/pbs_nova/0928ep5.asp</ref> [[Creation Ministries International]] states: "Homosexual acts go against [[God]]’s original design of a man and a woman becoming one flesh — see [[Genesis]] 1 and 2, endorsed by [[Jesus]] Himself in [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2019:3–6;&version=49; Matthew 19:3–6]."<ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/2774</ref>
