The begging question is how nature was able to simultaneously, or nearly simulatnaeously, evolve a male with fully operational sex organs, evolve a female counterpart with fully operation sex organs that just so happen to be perfectly compatible, and be placed within the same locality that they could find one another, and for nature to give them the understanding that they must mate in order to create progeny, all in one felled swoop?

Life started sexlessly and developed into the two sexes together -- but gradually, not "in one felled swoop"; that's why men have nipples, for one thing.
Basically, he's described Genesis, and the Garden Of Eden, and now wants to know how science can be fitted to it.
It started with single celled organisms that could reproduce via mitosis. some of these cells evolved a genetic quirk where they could simply divide after a given time period/nutrient intake or they would divide after exchanging a short chain of DNA with cells of the same species.
If you look carefully at the Y chromosome, you'll see it's a stunted abnormal freak of nature. Females evolved first. Males evolved later.
Nature didn't. If you look carefully at the Y chromosome, you'll see it's a stunted abnormal freak of nature. Females evolved first. Males evolved later. - Wolf O'Donnell (SWHQ)
The problem is you're still looking at evolution in terms of creation, thus misunderstandings such as male and female evolving "in one fell swoop". Gee, it seems to make a lot more sense to think of them being created "in one fell swoop" rather than evolving, therefore evolution is the problem, not my polluted understanding of it! I bet this person also buys the "what good is half a wing/lung/leg" arguments.
Unbelievable. The fundie has the garden of eden on the brain. "nature to give them the understanding... Placed within some locality..." No, no, NO! EVOLUTION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! Evolution is not like bible stories, we do not start off with 2 modern organisms -.-
Males and Females are members of the same species with a single variant chromosome.
Sex organs happen to be compatible because if at any point in history they were not, said organism would not pass on the mutation.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
