Derbyshire on Nature vs Nurture on Homosexuality

I've suspected that most homosexual tendency is inborn but made the mistake of confusing the term "inborn" with "genetics", the latter not making any sense from an evolutionarily perspective. John Derbyshire seems to have studied the pheonomena and believes it is inborn.

He also offers this dazzing line:

"The opposite of science is not religion; the opposite of science is wishful thinking."

NB: His theology is weak in places and is corrected beautifully here.
