This is a conversation about Evolution, so "sexual Evolution" is on the table. You say it has never been explained, so please tell us how these are not "explanations":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_sex
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200...173726.htm
http://books.google.co.uk/books?hl=en&id...&ct=result

I love it when theists claim an area of science that has "no explanation" because all you have to do is find one instance of explanation and it completely destroys their argument.
Quote:Let me ask you this: Do you believe if everyone agreed to stop having sex that humans wouldn't cease to exist in a single generation?
I fail to see how this has anything to do with the evolution of sex. Evolution only works because species reproduce.
Quote:Also you seem to not understand your own application of anthropic principles when you suggest that mutation "favours" or nature "selects"

We all know that nature doesn't select anything. Biological viability has been termed natural selection to give it an anthropic tone.
It is called "natural selection" because that is the easiest way of explaining it; there is nothing anthropic about it. Nature selects because organisms can only survive in certain environments. If a mutation allows that organism to survive better in that environment, then it is more likely to survive and pass on that mutation.
