The ultimate/essential/most common weakness of mankind is the need/desire to be loved, in other words, the need of having a lover.

The worst thing is, we name this weakness by something called “love” and glorify it.

The divergence of the biological sex leaves us humankind with those weaknesses. The perfection, if any, should be the practice of getting rid of this divergence. That is, we will be much better off with single gender/sex instead of two.

It’s God’s fault, if Darwin is wrong.

      what do you mean it’s a weakness? I suppose you’d rather have asexual reproduction, or, forego the biological reproduction at all?

      I think you are ignoring the other kind of basic “love”, that’s between parent and offspring, which would be useful at least even in asexual reproduction (assume everything else unchanged).

      But you still haven’t made it clear why it is a weakness in the first place.

      In the same token, the attraction (let’s use a more basic term) between sexes is also an instinctive behavior, but it is still a weakness?

      There are more to be said about the usefulness of biological reproduction, but at least we can say it’s not just about passing on knowledge (i.e. copy-n-paste). So, I don’t know what you mean when you say biological reproduction is not “perfect”, in what sense? There are some underlying basic assumptions about the purpose of humankind (or life in general) you made which you have not stated clearly.
