As we now have trans as a protected class it has shown the slippery slope in full free fall from the “gay rights” debate a decade ago. The problem is that laws based on fallacies will always be abused because their is no need to prove that any additions are legitimate. We have known for centuries men and women are not equal, we have known for centuries that racial aggregates depended on the culture dictating genetics. When we pretended that this didn’t matter we opened the door for non-biological protected classes. There has never been any evidence that being gay or trans is genetic, and there has been inconclusive evidence that gay and trans is biological at all aside from the biological impact occurring from grooming. In fact the best biological evidence we have is that external stimuli (aka other people) is what causes biological changes in the individual. Yet now we have more protected classes that are inherently non-biological than provably biological. These abuses are meant to subjugate not protect, they are meant to deny reality in place of accepting it.

In point of fact, if the recently disproved theory of evolution was true, there are no circumstances in which being gay ever could be genetic.
-Dogs from wolves
-Broccoli, cauliflower, mustard all from the same non-eddible ancestor plant.
-Viruses that mutate every year
There is a liteny of proof to prove evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution is our best explanation for the fact of evolution. The same as the theory of gravity explains the fact of gravity.
This isn't an argument. Evolution is a fact of life on Earth. Species change over time. There is mountains of evidence.
The number of individual genetic mutations required to change species is immense, and the timescale in which they were supposed to take place is so short that it would require multiple viable mutations per generation to accomplish - which we can observe in real time today is neither occurring nor possible.
For example, look at what a single protein is composed of, and the number of correctly-arranged amino acids required to produce that protein, and extrapolate from there the odds of such an event happening in nature - much less the dozens or hundreds of other mutations needed to actually capitalize on it.
Not really. Mathematically it's already happened. Regardless of the statistics the fact is that mathematically it's possible and it happened. You're argument is akin to looking at a rock and saying it could have taken all these other paths but it landed in this spot right here. The probability of this specific spot is huge. Well yeah but so what. If not this arrangement we wouldn't exist to examine it.
The mutations also aren't random. The set that works best for survival and reproduction is what gets selected. Pressure from the environment guides the process passively so that the remainder is the best fit for the current environment. Not being a random process greatly speeds up the changes and also makes your mathmatic probability argument irrelevant.
This is completely untrue on so many levels. Mutations are often random and caused by external factors ie viruses, natural disasters, vegetation, etc. The survival of the fittest crock has been so disproven it is laughable. There has never been a provable case of cross species mutation, evolution that is provable is very limited, and took hundreds of thousands of years for very small steps.
By your logic it’s possible to argue anything is possible given enough time and random chance. Even if that we’re true, the problem in this case is there isn’t enough time to accomplish everything evolution demands. You saying “but it happened” is just assuming the conclusion. The evidence for evolution is nowhere near as strong as you were led to believe and there are all sorts of problems with it that were glossed over and ignored for decades because academia hated Christianity and wanted desperately to distance itself from it.
As a theory it could still have legs if the glaring issues were addressed, but instead they just seem to just get worse the more we examine them, so at the very least it’s an incomplete theory (as it has always been). You’ll get your head taken off by academics, anti-theists and secularists if you even suggest such a thing though, as it’s taken on an almost religious importance in that community.
The mutations are random. Those that are selected for (or against) are not. The difference is important, and it invalidates the rest of your paragraph.
