I believe the source of your frustration, and the reciprocal frustration
of those of us in the Church who are debating this issue with you, is
that you take as a given that instinctive behavior in animals and humans
is in accordance with reason.
To get around this, I invite you to believe for the next week that
instinct has nothing to do with reason, that it is chaotic behavior,
that "reason" is just a label we put on things and not a real thing.
