Well, God did not create our species to multipy without sex and I am happy with that.

What would be wrong with having sex, but doing the multiplication separately? Wouldn't it be so much simpler if men and women could both have children as and when they choose without the need for sex?

I've got to lecture 9, "The Evolution of Sex". He gives lots of reasons why sex is maintained and also explains the male/female aspect of it. However I recommend watching the lectures before that too, in order to understand the context.
He says the hard thing to understand from an evolutionary stand point, is how some life forms have managed to survived long periods without sex.
So if Kelly, or anyone else really wants to know the answers to the OP, I highly recommend the above lecture series as a starting point.
I also maintain my claim that:
Evolution explains Sex.
Creationism doesn't.
Considering the complexity and survival costs of sex, creationism has a considerable amount of explaining to do.

That explains it from the creation worldview.
If you wish for a more detailed explanation, then that is up to you to search out.

Originally posted by twhiteheadIf evolution explains sexual reproduction, then does evolution explain asexual reproduction? If evolution explains both, then it explains neither. lol

It explain things for you because it fits your religious beliefs. You are in a boat just like the Creationists, it's just a different boat.
