How do you explain the existence of hidden estrus? None of the early church theologians I am familiar with even addressed the issue. We now know that there are species without hidden estrus. When compared to species with hidden estrus, it seems clear that if there is a 'purpose' it must be to encourage sex in instances where the female will not get pregnant.
Do you agree with Augustine that our current experience of sexuality is a result of original sin and that had Eve and Adam not sinned we would not have reproduced with sexual passion?
