gay creation story

I went to the Rally for Same-Sex Marriage Rights the other week in Melbourne (28 November 09). As we marched up Collins Street, this guy standing at a tram stop yelled "...you came from a man and a woman, it's Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve." Not particularly original but today I thought of the best comeback: yes but I'm not the one who believes in the virgin birth." A child born of two men now that would be a miracle.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh.
And Adam said, this is now my bone and my flesh and he shall be named Steve; he is of me and I of him.
And they were both naked and they were not ashamed.
And Adam knew Steve and they conceived a child and bare Cain; for great is the power of LORD God that maketh the infertile fertile.

AMEN to that!
