'We hear hundreds of testimonies from Christians about God’s power that has changed them.'For years, scientists have been trying to find a gay gene. Over the weekend, ABC's 20/20 continued the effort. Clinical psychologist Dr. Stanton Jones appeared on the program but wasn’t given much time to make his case that homosexuality is not genetic.“There’s no evidence for the kind of simple, powerful genetic causation that so many people in the public believe in," he said on the program. Jones said science has proven there is no genetic component.He pointed to a study of identical twins.“What they found in studying the Australian twin registry, of 27 identical twin pairs where at least one person was gay, in only three of the 27 was the second twin gay as well," he said.Jeff Johnston, gender issues analyst for Focus on the Family, said the search for a gay gene has covered more than 30 years.“They’ve studied fruit flies, and finger length, and hair whirls and ears," he said."And what they found instead is that other factors tend to be more important-experiences,relationships,learned behaviors,thinking and choice.”Furthermore, Johnston said, studies show people can change.“We hear hundreds of testimonies from Christians about God’s power that has changed them," he said.
