The interesting article on drosophilia (sp?) brought to mind an interesting
issue, that of sexual reproduction.  Sexual reproduction could certainly be
a means of propogating useful mutations througout a society, thereby increasing
a society's chance of adapting to changes in environment.  It also has the
effect of selecting for individuals who have a high success of mating.  This
as has been said before, is a good evolutionary explanation for 'useless'
features that may birds have for example (peacock feathers, brightly colored
birds etc.).  How do creationists view sexual reproduction?  (it's purpose
I mean).
