He explained that the Sodomites had ignored the wisdom of creating humans in pairs and cut off the path of descent by committing sexual deviations in the form of having sex with the same sex which resulted in the fertilization process not occurring. 2) Thanthawi Jauhari's scientific thinking is very relevant to the current homosexual phenomenon. According to science, if a sperm cell meets an egg cell, fertilization will occur. Psychologically, sexual deviant behavior will result in the perpetrator experiencing a decrease in their ability to think.
