Based on humans evolving out of a primordial mudpuddle.... a gene magically forming itself out of chemicals that just happened to exist together in the puddle and then gradually evolving to the point that we now have thinking, reasoning beings called humans.... here are a few points to ponder:

Since genes reproduce asexually and animals/humans reproduce sexually.... that means that at some point in time at the exact same place on the planet, two creatures evolved with two separate sets of plumbing that just happened to be perfect for each other.... one having the sperm necessary for life and the other having an egg necessary for life. They also had the ability to inject the sperm into a cavity where the egg existed in order to fertilize it and begin the process of birthing another of the same species... and by the way... the process of fertilization was only the beginning.... the plumbing where the egg evolved is HUGELY complex and necessarily so in order to get that fertilized egg to the point of birth.

Here are a couple of questions:

1. Since Natural Selection IS an observable phenomenon and therefore a fact (and not conjecture)... and we know that Natural Selection will select based on advantage for survival... how did sexual reproduction survive given that observation tells us that asexual reproduction has up to twice as much reproductive success as sexual reproduction? Wouldn’t Natural Selection have selected sexual reproduction out of the process?

2. What are the odds that evolution, a random process, could invent the two complimentary sets of plumbing at the exact same time and the exact same place.... especially given the facts presented above?

3. At what point did chemicals (after all, we started as chemicals) evolve the ability to think?

If your response to the above includes epithets and derision then perhaps you don’t have the ability to think through the questions and answer them in a logical and reasoned manner.

In the beginning there was nothing ... then it exploded.
