1. Isn't this just more of that "because sex produces children, that's what it is for and nothing else"

line of reasoning? Sex is for procreation and, because it is for procreation, it's only other purpose is to bind the male and the female together in order to care for their offspring.

Is this the same sort of thing as, "Because I sweat, because my body produces sweat, that must be THE purpose of my body"?

This seems so easily refuted; I'm not sure why anyone is impressed with it, even with all of the guy's credentials, that doesn't NECESSARILY mean that he MUST produce worthy work. Perhaps i misunderstand what the basic value of this position is. I will re-read.
