King James gay? I wasn't around then...

and

think so; lots of churchy websites say no. There are too many hits on Google to even guess what serious historians think.

The sexual preferences of some guy that's been dead for four centuries aren't very interesting to me - what's kind of fascinating, instead, is the huge number of apologetics sites that came up which vehemently deny that he was homosexual. It reminds me a little of the high school principal who wouldn't let the band play "We Are the Champions" by Queen, because their lead singer was openly gay, but presumably still let his English classes read Shakespeare. What friggin' difference does it make how any of them got their jollies?

But again: If I write a book that claims itself inerrant, I don't really think that you would believe it was. The Qu'ran says it is "perfect" - do you agree with that?

Check up on your claims about fossilization, you have little scientific company left holding that view with you.
Are you writing this in 1840? That is an absurd statement.

Re: off topic
So, why is cancer so much more common today than it was just a few centuries ago
Primarily because medical science now prevents measles, tuberculosis, cholera, diptheria, abcessed teeth, polio, and the like from killing so many of us young. We now live long enough for cancer to get a shot at us. The same applies to heart disease.

Re: Off-topic a bit -- sorry
a protective enzyme that neutralizes the cyanide by converting it to a by-product that is actually beneficial to one’s health.
​
What by-product would that be? Cyanate? Cyanogen? Carbon dioxide and ammonia? How is it beneficial? Please tell us; inquiring minds want to know.

Re: reliability
Also, like I said, the FDA's claim that apricot seeds are dangerous is just a coverup to get people to believe that they need to pay thousands of dollars for cancer treatment.
Yeah, and Elvis Presley, though past retirement age, is Undersecretary for Coverups of Stuff to kill More Citizens. That is a lunatic statement, booboo - are you a Black Helicopter fan, too?
