Re: How Did Sex Originate?
Hi Chavey,
Sex is natural now that it exists, nobody contests this. But the question is how did it get here? Is it natural that one or more asexual organisms slowly evolved blindly over millions of years to become sexua| with everything that is involved for those transitions to take place and knowing that until ALL of the aspects and capabilities of this system were fully functioning SIMULTANEOUSLY, every part of the system together, there would be no benefit whatsoever and thus no reason whatsoever for the "emerging species" to ever select towards it?
The emergence of males and females in the first place from gender neutral organisms is itself astonishing, all of their parts that happened to develop simultaneously and in perfect harmony and compatibility one with another (all the while not working or accomplishing anything at all until they were all fully in place since each system as a whole, both the male's and the female's are irreducibly complex and there is added irreducible complexity in the fact that the male and females parts, eggs and sperms must be compatible one with the other and come together with the preordained purpose (without intelligent design) of joining together in a union to form a new life, something that had never been done before. The idea that through an unintelligently designed blind process, sex became the incredibly pleasurable experience that it is, that the various essential organs all remarkably emerged, the ability to produce eggs and sperms somehow developed along with each genders ability to keep them alive, that each knew to have only half the chromosomes of the dna that were and are in every other cell, that the woman's body blindly developed the ability to nurture and nourish the growing baby without any functionality along the way and before the first baby was ever conceived!, that a place for the baby to be safe throughout the pregnancy was perfectly in place, that a canal was in place to birth the baby through (before the first baby was ever born!), the knowledge of when to birth the baby and the ability of the body to make all of the necessary adjustments to enable this birth... and the astronomical improbability of all of this happening go on and on... and yet we insist on believing that we were not created as we are, with everything all in place fully functioning simultaneously (as is required). The only scenario which resolves absolutely every mathematical impossibility 100% (along with many other mathematical impossibilities associated with us being here today including life arising from non-life in the first place)... is an intelligent designer.
This is a massive problem for evolutionists to account for and the honest ones (those not given to wild propaganda like Richard Dawkins) fully acknowledge this. How could any organism slowly evolve a system of such immense complexity and nuance?... which being incomplete and thus completely unusable along the way... and thus providing no benefits whatsoever for millions of years as they were supposedly being selected for (benefits along the way... which according to the theory itself... are the only way the species would select and thus evolve towards these massive and innumerable necessary changes).
Here's another very good video which explains it better than i was able from memory: http://www.youtube.com/embed/bF7ODNmYF_g"
