If you take into account male and female reproductive organs you can expand your thinking on evolution vs. creationism.
If evolution is the evolving of an organism or whatever into something different it must mean it was to evolve in each step to a better organism as additions such as ears,eyes,fingernails,reproductive organs, etc. would develop basically into what we are today.
All this basically formed over time basically from nothing. Ok…If we evolved and got different features over long periods of time how did evolution know what ingrediants it would take for humans to reproduce?
Your not talking about 1 miracle now as in the evolving of 1 human but your talking now about an evolving 2nd type of human as in the female. Are you saying something intelligent that created itself knew how to do this and figured out male and female reproductive parts before everything became extinct?
Your not just talking about humans but the whole animal kingdom have VERY similar looking reproductive parts. Evolution seems to have figured all this out and said to itself “ok we got reproductive figured out now lets make this happen with all similar looking parts for the whole animal kingdom”.
Evolution could have done reproduction many ways but it happens almost all the same in every animal. Thats a very smart evolution. It figured out males and females and what it took to reproduce. Thats just the start of everything complicated thats left to discuss.
I dont buy evolution whatsoever as everything its about agreed with itself and evolved all animals with the same looking and the same acting reproductive parts.
I believe we were created by an eternal creator who resides outside of time who got it right the first time. I dont believe Life came from no life, Intelligence came from non-intelligence, cause came from no cause and meaning came from no meaning.

Read Richard Dawkins’ book the Selfish Gene.
He explains that evolution is not about the outer shell you see as as a tiger, a dog or a human it is all about the genes. The animal is just a vehicle for the gene.
Atoms naturally form molecules which naturally form chains because these are more stable. These molecules can be proteins and some of these proteins can self replicate and use the molecules around them to make copies. Science has proven this process and have shown it happening in a petri dish! The important point is that the replication is imperfect and small changes occur at random. These mutations lead to the next generation to be better or worse at competing. These replicators are called genes.
Now to get everything from organs, to behavioural traits, to male and female sexes this can all be explained by genes competing to the death and replicating and mutating. Everything from shells on snails to why I prefer women who don’t sleep around can be explained. Dawkins goes through these examples in his book.
So to your question about why do a lot of animals reproduce with similar organs the answer is that we all share this trait from a common gene. Notice that not all living organisms have a similar reproductive system to humans, bacteria is much different probably because bacteria and humans common gene goes a lot futher back prior to reproductive system. Maybe bacteria and humans never shared a common replicator.
I’m not wholly against God those atoms that stabilsed into molecules and replicators must have come from somewhere. You could say God created evolution - that would shut me up.
