Originally posted by Eladar There were male and female animals before Eve was made. I'm afraid your comment of 'because man was lonely' isn't quite accurate.
So can you suggest a reason why God would make male and female other than the well known evolutionary explanations?
Originally posted by RJHinds He said it was so that they could multipy on the Earth after their own kind instead of a different kind which is believed by evilutionists.

Sex is not required for multiplication. Many species multiply perfectly well without sex.
Try again.
Originally posted by RJHinds Well, God did not create our species to multipy without sex and I am happy with that.
The Instructor
Why? In humans, sex is used for a lot more than multiplication. I think only Robbie believes sex is to be had purely for the sake of having children.
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.

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

The Bible, although mostly dreadfully boring, is actually quite amusing sporadically. My favourite part is 2 Kings 2:23-25, that part really cracked me up.

If 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.

Yes, as we all know, a valid theory can only explain one thing.
Why male and female?
