Hi Stinker....if your correct, that would make the bible a lie ya know?......... and all the other books that put men before women in this manner.
Well, not necessarily. It would just explain why men are exalted more than women. It was commonplace and accepted is all.
Let's just take Eve's and Noah's offspring. We can at least be sure the first three out of their loins were males. What are those chances in reality?
Wait.. where does it say that their first offspring were male? I recall the Bible listing males, but did it also include birth order?
