Biologists and Christians like to fight each other on theories, but what if we didn't have to?
Here's the argument I'll explore right now: Hormones. The biologist says certain feelings are normal, such as desires for sex (especially at young ages and with the growing rate of precocious puberty). And the Christians say that teenage pregnancies, and teens having sex is because of a lack of morals, and demonic influence.
What if both are right?
Perhaps--now, bear with me, because it's simply a perhaps--spiritual forces affect the balance of hormones. How could this happen? Well, the balance of hormones has something to do with what you eat, and the amount of environment stress in your surroundings. So what if the supernatural forces (the bad ones, now) influenced you to eat a certain way, or God allowed certain stresses to be put on you? Your body would act in it's "imperfected" way, would react in a way to protect itself, and find ways to relieve it's stress. It would most likely cause other hormones to be imbalanced, etc. etc. etc.
I don't know a lot about science in this area, however, I know the brain is functioning based on certain hormones, or proteins. These hormones, or proteins are coded for in DNA and RNA and made in the ribosomes (or transported from there?) and the way to build all of this is by taking in the proper nutrients.
If the spiritual realm could effect our eatting habits, hungers, and desires, it could then control our body's susceptibility to sin ... This, of course, would be a suddle and easy way to distract people, because our reaction to life, weather, etc. is based on the way our bodies were designed to handle them, and they could be playing on the weaknesses in that design (not to diss God's work, but admitting to the fact that we're all imperfect beings).
