7. Still not getting it. If sex is only for making kids, why is ED even possible? How come women

naturally throw-away so many eggs?

I mean, if you're saying something is just that simple, shouldn't it BE just that simple?

The fact that George has to throw in that other piece about how sex is for the purpose of creating a bond between a man and woman, in order to care for their offspring - either reduces men to sex driven animals, who can't bond otherwise, or it necessitates a hypothesis that there is something else involved in sex, say, perhaps, something like a brain(???), that IS essential to your procreation hypothesis and once you introduce the brain into this equation, Katie-bar-the-door!!!, which is what George is trying to do.

Again, if this guy has so many creds, perhaps there's something I don't understand in his theories, but this seems pretty obviously flawed. And I haven't even mentioned the limitations on what George is referring to as "logic", a.k.a. rational empiricism.

Is THIS all they've got?????

FAIL!
