Gluk, then there's the obvious studies on homosexuality in genetically identical twins. While if one is a homosexual, there's something like a 75% chance that its twin will also be homosexual. The high percentage does suggest that it's something up in the womb, but clearly it isn't genetic, unless we have heaps of closet cases.
Is it really impossible for homosexuality to exist in the genes, though? Maybe the presence of homosexuality provided some benefits to a family in earlier times. Rather than passing itself on from a gay person, it is passed on through every ten or so generations. There is evidence to suggest that homosexuals, while not being able to produce offspring of their own, have heightened nurturing abilities, which would prove to be an evolutionary advantage.

We've already established that aging is caused by the natural decomposition of the genes. If I was able to live forever - yes, I really would want to. As for "knowing" there's a better place above - how do
you know?

Who said that nobody would be there? If all the beings in the universe had died, I'd simply create more! With so much time to understand how the universe works, it would be a breeze creating life. Observing millions of years of evolution would be awesome.
