You couldn't be here if stars had not exploded, because the elements – the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life – weren't created at the beginning of time.
In 2005, ID was exposed in court (Dover, Pennsylvania, Kitzmiller versus Dover Area School District) for violating the rules of science by "invoking and permitting supernatural causation" in matters of evolution and for "failing to gain acceptance in the scientific community" (Kitzmiller et al. versus Dover School District et al. 2005).

Note that we have just derived the fact that evolution happens by convergence on the level of the population as a whole from the fact that evolution is based on interactions (that combinations of alleles, and sex, are matters of necessity for evolution).
The empirical evidence fitting with the principle that sex is a matter of necessity for evolution provides empirical support for my theory, as discussed.
But without having clarified my position on the origin of sex, it may have been difficult to see how sex could be a matter of necessity for evolution.
Now note that the principle that sex is a matter of necessity for evolution, based on empirical facts, is consistent with the new theory of evolution just proposed, but is inconsistent with traditional theory.
This raised a question of origins: if life began asexually, then biological evolution in the beginning occurred without sex, but this would seem to suggest that sex is not a matter of necessity for evolution.
It is consistent with the new theory because this theory argues that genetic combinations are a matter of necessity for evolution (selection operates on them), and sex creates these combinations.
