How did reproduction "evolve"?

Hint: It didn't.

A fascinating hypothesis. Tell me, what explanation do you have for reproduction, and what evidence have you to support the claim that reproduction did not "evolve"? Also, are you referring to sexual or asexual reproduction? If you refer to sexaul reprodution, are you speaking of such reproduction in general, or are you specifically referring to one form, such as that of placental mammals?

It's simple, but so awfully complicated.

Reproduction had to have been built-in for biogenesis to succeed. There could be no "evolution" in that process for it had to succeed from the beginning, otherwise there would be no life. If evolution continued, it began from that point.

That's the simple part. The rest, I believe, is God.

I doubt we'll ever be able to solve biogenesis, because to know what precedes it would imply knowledge of death beyond simply knowing that it happens.

Eternal life is ZILLIONS of times easier to do than Reproduction.

Once alive, stay that way for ever.
