    That was something! Because a female is supposedly born with all of her eggs intact that would make us all our mothers age. Let me see... calendar wise I am still 52... if I were my moms age I would be turning 99 this year! Ow!

    If its true that a "female is born with all of her eggs intact" which if I understand correctly, it means that she doesn't produce new eggs during her life, then looking at the big picture with eternal life in view, that means that a woman can only have a limit number of children, then after her eggs are used up she stops producing forever,...... I wonder if that's God purpose???????

    No, but it's a perfect argument for evolution and natural selection. Females have a limited number of eggs, while males have kajillions of sperm cells. Males can go around "fertilizing" all day long, but it takes a long time for a female to carry offspring to full term, and her eggs are limited. So, she has to be "choosy" as to who she mates with, in order to make the result of the union worthwhile. Thus, the argument goes, men have to fight their deep seated "animal instincts" in order to stay monogamous, and women have to wait along time for "Mr Right" to come along. Or they used to, until birth control made it more accessible for women to enjoy sex as much as men... All right, flame away at me....

    I was not advocating this line of reasoning, just presenting the argument....

    Actually I have heard now they know that women can produce new eggs (don't ask for a reference cause I don't have one... sorry).
    AND one thing: sperm is cheap. You guys can stand in line until or IF the time comes that you get lucky.
    OR if you don't like that reasoning you might agree that guys having to "control their urge to womanize" is about as rediculous as humans having to "control" their urge to physically fight wil any other human who comes near their food.
