This argument really bothers me. First of all, Canada allows freedom of religion in which all citizens are not bound to live by teachings of one particular religion. Religious grounds should not be used to limit the rights of other people. Does a homosexual couple getting 'married' (or a civil union) affect the marriage of straight people in any way?
Second of all, there are many, many ..... interesting things said in the bible. Many could be seen as being refuted by modern science, and even theologians have accepted that some biblical 'teachings' are not to be taken literally. But this story in the bible has Adam and Eve, so BAM!, man and woman in marriage is a rule everyone to live by.
If we applied that kind of biblical argument to every aspect of life and science I would hate to think what kind of ignorant state we'd be in now.
