This may be a FAQ, I don't know. If it is, I have yet to see it. My
question is this: why are there male and female sexes? It seems to
me that a more preferable condition in evolution's eyes would be
to not have the dependencies to procreate. I should think that
the ideal would be that every species reproduce by asexual means.
With the exception of worms and I'm sure other species as well, this
isn't the norm, in any kingdom. What is the benefit of having a male-female
interaction/dependency? This would also seem to place an unnecessary burden
on evolution as well during the evolution of higher forms.
Is there a short, succinct answer to this, or is this swept under
the rug of untestible time?
Curiously yours in Christ,
