I think sperm and egg are united with us! [View all]

With so many sperm cells being produced and many millions or billions dying along the way (if there is a way for years at a time!) and some reaching the coveted egg only to die trying to penetrate and so many millions of cells that could be eggs, why not just one egg and one sperm if we are not just some galactic "crap shoot". I say we are flukes of the universe. What sayeth ye?
