Day 16: Same Sex Marriage? Bah, Science says NO! (Or, what happens when the Godly get to play with magnets and call it physics)

Same Sex marriage is a political Hot Potato... a real mouth burner... one with a Tangy filling that turns the stomach of some, but is utterly delicious to others.. like blue cheese and Marmite.

Of course, most people who have thought about it for anything longer than say, a nano-second have just shrugged and said; "Sure, why not it literally doesn't effect me one jot".. in fact the only person who could possibly have a coherent argument against it, is someone who is in a same sex relationship with a pushy partner who is now looking at catalogues of expensive abbeys and constantly watching 'Here comes the Bride' whilst throwing meaningful glances at them across a frosty sofa that used to be full of free-wheelin', non legally-bound, lovin'...

But those people are WRONG.
But who says so, why it's 'Science' of course...

Step forward the hero of the piece: Chibuihem Amalaha, a Post Grad at Lagos University who has decided to prove, with honest to goodness 'Science', that Gay Marriage is utterly utterly utterly wrong.

As it says in this AWESOME article

“God gave me the wisdom to use science as a scientist to prove gay marriage is wrong.”

“In the area of physics, I used physics with experiments, I used chemistry with experiments, I used biology with experiments and I used mathematics to prove gay marriage [is] wrong.”



Here is Chibuihem.. see he wears a lab coat and brandishes a conical flask. How could he NOT be legit...














If you are averse to clicking, or worried that 'silly' might somehow be catching I can summarise:

1. Magnets don't attract at the same pole, Hence Same Sex People don't attract.
2. Mathematics shows that Gay Marriage is wrong, just because it does.
3. Electrolysis shows Negative and Positive Ions attracting, not positive and positive, hence 'Eww Gays!'

There is some other 'Science flavoured' jibber before he finishes with a flourish with the not at all biased and nutty soundbite.
"In General, Same Sex is Evil"

Ok dealing with those one at a time.
1 People are Really not much like magnets, and same sex people certainly attract, I mean, some of them attract like crazy... Have you ever been to a gay bar, some you couldn't prize apart save with a fulcrum and a VERY Long Lever (Science!)
2 Mathematics proves nothing about any human relationship. If you were so inclined you could 'prove': '1 & 1 are the same number but added together they make 2 so that proves there should ONLY be same sex marriage', or you could perhaps argue: '1 & 2 makes three which is the number of people in a family with one child and the same in the trinity so yah boo, boys kissing is nasty...'
3 He's kind of covered this with the magnet one hasn't he? His only material is that things that repel, repel and things that attract, attract and so  God really doesn't like Gays...

Yeah that's the problem here. It's god talk holding a beaker and wearing a knock off Bunsen Honeydew costume. Which is fine, if you want to say that you can't marry someone of the same gender because the bronze age rule book demands it, go ahead, fill ya boots chappy.. but really.. don't try and inflict that idea on someone else, it's not up to you.. and if your God really had a dog in this fight, he could sort it himself... Either he's quite ambivalent about the whole 'Gay Bit', or he's a weakling who can't control his own creation, but for some reason decided to make same sex attraction a reality... or.. most likely of all... He was never there in the first place.. Yeah, My Money is on that one... and not just my money, I'm risking the prospect of spending a whole eternity being tortured in a pit of endless fire for my beliefs... and you think YOU have convictions...

Oh.. and if you do want to put this idea about. Don't dress it up in a lab-coat and call it science, ok? 
1) Real Scientists will come out and trounce you, your methods and your results. That's what Science is, which is why they call is the Scientific method...
2) You'll look just as foolish as the man in the photo up there... How foolish is that? All the foolish.

In fairness to his vaulting ambition though, I will give him the last word:
“My ambition is to go beyond the sky... I want to reach the level God has destined me to reach. I want to be the first African to win Nobel Prize in science "
