no your 'take' on genetics is faulty and shows that you don't have a grasp of the basics of the topic...
...Eye color, blood type right/left handedness are all genetic in origin but none of these has a 100% correspondence in identical twins
...Paul specifically used the Greek word paraphysi here, which does not mean "to go against the law(s) of nature", that would be Ενάντια στο. Rather it means to engage in action(s) which is uncharacteristic or against the nature of that person or more simply an individual denying his/her true nature.
Paul is writing about heterosexual women and men who "exchange" or go against themselves and their normal/inborn orientation for same-sex activities. It's that abandoning that is being condemned
Nope. Read the passage.
Romans 1:22 -- Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:23 -- And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:26 -- For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans 1:27 -- And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
The people Paul's talking about in verses 26 and 27 are those in verses 22 and 23; namely, idolatrous pagans. These are those who "change the natural use into that which is against nature."
Your, "Paul is writing about heterosexual women and men who "exchange" or go against themselves and their normal/inborn orientation for same-sex activities. It's that abandoning that is being condemned," is complete Made Up. Matthew Vines says the same dumb thing; I don't know if he made it up, or if somebody else did, but it is definitely Made Up.
None of this really matters though, in comparison with the glorious Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ. These are mere footnotes to the glory of Our Lord's Gospel.
No one cares about genetics because if genetics could possibly be the cause of LGBTQ-ism, we'd already know it right now because it'd've already stuck out like a three-dollar bill. I mean a sore thumb. You're fatalistically grasping at fatalistic straws.
