How does evolution explain the existance of males?

Question

.. if immaculately conceived organisms are found in nature and can be produced in a lab using only the female egg?

Answer 1

Ask your father.

Answer 2

It is asexual reproduction that is "found in nature." Immaculate conception has to do with the Augustinian concept of original sin. Animals and plants cannot commit sins, because they are not self-aware.

Having two genders divides the genetic material into two parts, thus increasing the potential --- only the potential, not always the actual --- complexity of the gene pool. It also increases the chances for mutations, both for better or worse, to change the species.

Some creatures reproduce asexually, without the union of male and female germ cells, when sexual reproducton is not available, i.e., when the opposite gender is not available.

Immaculate Conception is a tenet based on the belief espoused by St.Augustine of Hippo that all humans, with the exception of Christ, are conceived in a state of sin, because Augustine believed that all sexual feelings were occasions of sin. He called being born in this state "original sin."

Since Mary did not have sex when Christ was conceived, Augustine described Christ as having been conceived without sin --- i.e. without a reproductive act of any kind, sexual, asexual, whatever.

Augustine said nothing about other species being immaculately conceived. You are confusing Immaculate Conception and asexual reproduction. You are misrepresenting both Augustine's religious writings, and the science of genetics.

Science and religion are separate realms of human experience. If you are so concerned that science is a threat to your religion that you feel compelled to discredit scientific information, you should at least try to get your facts straight.

Answer 3

I don't know of any "immaculately conceived" organisms. There are sexless organisms that can reproduce, but that is not the same as imaculately conceived. And I don't know of any even-halfway complex organisms where reproduction can be induced with only the female egg. God created the reproduction methods we have now; evolution doesn't presume to explain why that is the way these things are.

Answer 4

Evolution gives an advantage to that which works best. There is the potential for a lot more diversity when you have two sexes. Women have had a strong affect, by choosing certain male to mate with, on the developement of the type of human male we now have. So, if you don't have the highest opinion of human males, you might have to blame this on the selection process women have used to choose their mates.
On the otherhand, if you like men a lot, then you can say women have made very good choices.

Answer 5

Conceived with only the female egg? What was the organism dear? Was it a starfish or some coral? There are some animals and plants that do not have male and female. They are called hermaphrodites. But that doesn't prove that a woman (read: female homo sapiens) can breed without a male!

Are you one of those pathetic feminists?

Answer 6

You are an ignorant and arrogant person.
Creatures produced from female egg (cloning) only suffer many more debilitating diseases and die much sooner than creatures conceived from union of egg and sperm. Please read about Dolly the sheep and her demise. I also do not understand what you mean by *immaculately conceieved organisms which are found in nature*, but then, you do not understand it also.

Answer 7

Time for a serious answer.
Perhaps it is found to be advantageous for survival of the species to have a mixing of genes. some level of diversity. Asexual reproduction doesn't really allow for that very well. What better way to mix up the genetic soup than to have two genders, especially when one can mix it up so prolifically?

Answer 8

sexual duplicate has it relatively is advantages. maximum life on the earth reproduces asexually, and that works in case you could take care of to pay for to do extremely some it. asexual duplicate is efficient in that experience, you purely clone your self. yet, this places extensive limits on genetic version. now that's no longer a extensive difficulty in case you're able to do mass production. micro organism reproduce at exponential expenditures below good situations, so as that they are able to triumph over this difficulty of constrained version. yet what approximately metazoans? it is complicated, multicellular organisms like us how could we reproduce at that fee? we will not, it relatively is impossible. yet sexual duplicate stepped forward which inspired the evolution of multicellular organisms because of the fact now you had greater advantageous version. it relatively is extreme priced interior the experience which you presently could detect a mate and so on, however the version is the pay off. before everything, intercourse could in all danger be something as uncomplicated as 2 microscopic organisms purely touching. cloth could in all danger permeate for the period of the cellular partitions. it may be 1000's of hundreds of thousands of years till now this technique became greater sophisticated and you ultimately get committed genders with sexually dimorphic features. EDIT: "sure i comprehend that some species reproduce asexually, yet as quickly as all of us stepped forward from one element, then how did the species that reproduce asexually evolve into male or woman?" I purely defined that. did you incredibly study my answer?

Answer 9

It's a great question, but it should also be pointed out that evolution does not explain the existence of females either.

The evolutionary model is one of asexual reproduction through budding/division.

Answer 10

Two sexes allow for more genetic diversity, which means better adaptation to the environment, increasing the species chance for survival. Simple, really.
