It's simple maths. You're conveniently forgetting about the "2 guys, 0 girls" part of the equation. Because there are about the same number of gays and lesbians, neither gay nor lesbian relationships would imbalance the overall proportion of single women vs. single men, like polygamy would.
The buck-passing bullshit answer is God has given rule of this Earth to man and man has done it badly.
FTFY.
With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, with infinite power comes infinite responsibility. If God exists then the mess of the world is ALL God's fault.
If God is omnipotent, then he could have created man perfect, but he chose to create man imperfect. If God is omniscient, then he knew exactly how badly this imperfect creation of his would behave, but he chose to give earth to man anyway. God is responsible for his own choices, which caused the whole mess.
God is [omnipotent/omniscient/benevolent]: only two at most are possible.
That IS a very interesting point indeed. It's impossible to know how effective any detection system is, without knowing false alarm rate as well as hit rate.
Rates of detection of other cancers are often much worse. And rates of early detection (as opposed to self-report) of mental illnesses are worse again.

Oh no, those Poor Persecuted Christians! *yawn*
Get back to me when there's an Atheist president.

I'm not the OP but the logic is pretty straightforward. By definition, in any universe where omniscience exists, free will cannot also exist.
If anyone can know with absolute certainty that I will do something, I therefore cannot choose to do anything else.
Eye watering background, check! Terribly ill-advised fonts, check!
It's even part of a Web Ring! I haven't seen one of those since Geocities kicked the bit bucket.
this election would have no impact on policy that matters.
Sounds a helluva lot like a straight, white male with reasonable health and income.
The Bay Area has the weirdest microclimate ever (hence the uniquely awesome sourdough).
In San Francisco, the hottest month of the year on average is September, with October a very close second. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_francisco#Climate

YOU LOSE.
Not even a try, let alone a nice one.
Not a good idea. It'd produce too much felgercarbon emissions.
... are the US's sacred cows.
And the janitor should be sacked. The place is filthy.
And remember, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!
And astrology TOTALLY REVERSES ITS PREDICTIONS in the southern hemisphere, EXACTLY the way the SEASONS ARE REVERSED!!! ...oh wait.
The Oz govt's giving out criminal records? And here I thought Steve Garrett left his muso days behind when he became a Minister.
So THAT's what happened to Pluto!
...Spacebook?
HYPErspace? No, wait, Lucas got that already.
Whatever you call it, as ideas go, it's pure Shat.

IF they can really achieve 90% detection rate (and that's a huge if), then that'd be hugely impressive.
FYI, Mammograms only have roughly an 80% chance of detecting breast cancer. http://breastscreening.cancer.gov/data/performance/diagnostic/rate_age_time.html

All Elphaba needs to do is graft some wings onto those macaques, and she's all set!
As if. Creationists don't care about facts. If they did, they wouldn't be creationists.
Ah, but since when did mere facts get in the way of IP lawsuits? ;)
Duelling lawsuits in 3... 2... 1...
...would be bloody terminal.
So, you're a Wikipedia editor as well as a cybersquatter. BFD.
