A simple question

Here's a question. Why did God create both males & females? Both men & women? What was the need I ask you. I wonder when HE said " Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." if he knew that he was just paving the way for war, for heartache, for hurt & pain along with all other things beautiful.

I mean, I 'm not at all complaining. I'm glad HUMANs were created. Otherwise I wouldn't be here & all humans might have ended up as liverworts or something. I'm just saying that HE didn't have to create 2 of each. A couple. That's what I'm saying.

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

There are many creatures on earth who can very easily be fruitful & multiply without needing a partner. There are single cell organisms, Planaria & even certain plants. Why were we created in TWOs?

I don't believe in God being a Buddhist. But as we have no way of knowing if there's a higher power or not I guess I will to retreat to Science. Right now, at this particular moment, I'm not very happy with evolution either. Why does progress always mean complication. Simple example. Friendships lead to romance- a few notches higher in the complication scale. Romance leads to marriage-much higher in the scale.

Always the same.

A single cell organism, has no needs like we do. It just lives, divides itself into a million other single cells or so & disappears. We on the other hand, are driven by the constant need of falling in love & maintaining that love. Because of course, any kind of love needs proper & timely maintenance. There is also the constant battle to keep the Significant Other happy at which I think I'm failing badly.

So all I'm saying is that if God created us all as algae & if there was no evolution where all creatures would be equally simple, I wouldn't be feeling as miserable as I'm feeling right now.

  2. We have more fun than the amoeba so that's reason enough.

    There is a biological advantage, honed by evolution and pleasure is the only way that such a messy process can be held together.

    You can find the argument, this might be a good place to start.
