Evolution

Hi there,
I have a question on Evolution.
What is the benefit of producing young? If our bodies are designed to conserve energy, and protect ourselves from destruction.
Why then does our selfish genes invest so much in reproducing and creating young?
Why do our bodies care so much, when it isn't us?
Is there something that passes on through us, as far as I can see when we die our cells die and degrade so how then does our offspring benefit us when we are dead? Why is there such a push to keep our DNA information replicating this is not a religion question but figured that there may be a few people on here that no a bit about evolution.

Many Thanks
Spudnik510
