I'm very confused by this statement. Either the Bible is the word of God and morality is given as is with no explanation needed or given. Or the Bible is not the word of God and the morality expressed in the Bible is open to questioning.

Are you attempting to make a comparison to the Bible's treatment of shellfish? Where one could consider that shellfish can cause sickness and therefor worked its way into religion?
However, if you were to take that approach I would assume you would then wind up considering it a differentiation from Greek culture were homosexuality was widely practiced.

You seem to imply the latter which would need to be supported in such a way as to show a negative effect on survival.
