  I think that you mean that heterosexual and homosexual is all the same as far as God is concerned. I think that further you mean that just as Paul's appeal in I Timothy to the Creation story cannot be normative for us today, so arguments against homosexuality from the Creation story cannot be normative for us today. This fails to notice several things. First, Paul speaks against homosexuality in too many other places. Second, Paul qualifies the Timothy passage with a clear statement that it is his opinion; there is no such qualification of the Galatians passage. Finally, the hypothesis is speculative to start with.
