If you look in nature, you find all kinds of things that go beyond the "norm".
There are species that
Reproduce asexually,
Self-sexually (meaning the same animal, oceanic usually, can impregnate itself and give birth),
Matriarchial species,
Patriarchial species,
Homosexuality in a variety of species,
A greater number of hermaphroditism than is publicized (where a birth exhibits physical characteristics of both sexes,
Some that use sex for pleasure, humans and dolphins, for example.

These things are all "natural" among certain species. Why did the Creator mix things up so much? Perhaps He has Plan is beyond our limited comprehension. After all, it is rather arrogant to think we can question Him about doing this. I figure if He can create a whole universe with thousands of distinct species, worlds, galaxies, I feel rather small at attempting to question His Design.

You are so right, Tom. Thank you. Well said.

.... me too! My mother always told me, when you pray you never ask questions or give directions.

"Why did the Creator mix things up so much? Perhaps He has Plan is beyond our limited comprehension."

Well, like Voltaire, I would have suggested some design changes before the product was released.

There is a serious impedence mismatch between men and women. The way I like to put it: if God had made men half as horny as they are--and women twice as horny as they are, it would be just about right.

Or, much more pithily, I say: "If men were women, we'd all be sluts."
