Zoology: Reproduction

Evolution cannot explain the ins and outs, let alone the origin, of the reproduction of living organisms.

First, there are two types of reproduction, and both are irreducibly complex. The two types are sexual and asexual. The basis of sexual reproduction is the uniting of two cells to form one (this new cell then splits continuously until the new organism has fully developed), but the basis of asexual reproduction is the splitting of one cell to form two. How could one of these completely opposite processes turn into the other?

Second, sexual reproduction requires not one, but two, irreducibly complex systems (male and female) which under Evolution must develop simulaneously and yet independently. Sexual reproduction is irreducible complexity on a grand scale.

Third, how did reproduction start to begin with? Did a lightning bolt decide one day to strike the first evolutionary cell in some sort of complex way to split it in half? If a cell splits in half by any other method than the method by which it is designed to, it of course dies. This is what all disorganization and information loss in the world of life will do.

Clearly, there is no room for Evolution in the world of life.
