I found it weird, actually completely absurd, when you made this bold statement in the chapter about the 8th month of a baby's life. "If it feels good, humans do it (true). Which is what Mother Nature banked on when she created genitals...." What? What you said is true about genitals (ew), although I hate your word choice. Let's be serious, I think most people, Christian or not, believe a God created people and He was not a She. I know you were trying to be all PC, but that's just lame. I've heard people refer to "mother nature" in the context of weather, and I just blow it off. "When she created genitals", really? I'll be honest, I don't like you as much anymore. Too bad you have sold 7 million copies or something. Let's just not let it happen again.
No longer your fan,

mother nature
What does mother nature know about pleasure anyway? The people who want to attribute everything to mn to avoid acknowledging God are often the same ones who ascribe to evolutionary ideas that say nature is ruthless and evolves to eliminate the weak (which does happen in a microevolution sense). That doesn't sound like mn is concerned with pleasure. The same principles that have prompted historical instances of genocide (eliminating the weak) are also responsible for seeing to our pleasure in terms of how we were put together? Surely someone started calling this "force" a feminine term to try to attribute a sense of care and affection that they believe nature has towards man, but mother nature in the sense that its mostly used is almost always this positive or at least innocent force of nature (anything negative is the mean god in heaven). But nature doesn't have a sense of care and affection towards us - if anything they're more of a victim of man, and I don't mean because we pollute their environment. God says the creation cries out yearning for the day when the world will be made new and restored from sin - nature is longing for a restoration from man's sin.
