sex & death

When you think about life, then - regardless of your general world view, philosophy so to speak - the two greatest absurdities of life seems to be sex and death. Why so many species, plants included, reproduce by sex when they could simply produce their clones, the copies of themselves? Why all the species invest so much into the birth and upbringing of a next generation which will grow old and die? The science of evolution is closing on the answers but the jury is still out there.

In the meantime, various religions, although shaken in their strongholds, are selling their comforting answers. Or, rather, the replacement consoling stories. And, the more primitive a religion, the more ludicrous are the stories. Christianity is a good example. Recall the Christ story as the Christianity’s "patches" for sex and death: Virgin Birth and Resurrection!
