Spirituality Guide

There are some problems with the bible. First, if we apply some basic psychology to the early days, it is clear God is at the least, schizophrenic and sadistic. At worst he could be psychotic. The way he creates Man, then sets them up to fail his test so he can kick them out is either very poorly explained or fits the Sadist role quite nicely. Why sadist? Because He has then visited the punishment on every human ever born – the bible makes that quite clear with it’s whole ‘born into sin’ dogma.

Another problem has to do with Adam and Eve. Never mind that even a generous measure of when they lived directly contradicts what we’ve dug up of real history, the Creation story has a gaping hole through it.

God made Adam, then apparently took a rib and made Eve. Genetics denies this, and further, men have nipples.
Some rather strange people have tried to make out that this is due to redundancy – in case women somehow came to be unable to suckle babies, men could take over. Pardon me while I spit coffee over my keyboard.

Genetics tells us that females predate men. If God made us, She made Eve first, then made Adam as a match.

How can I say this?

Well, when looking at genes, the X and Y chromosomes stand out as the major difference between male and female. Females have 23 pairs of chromosomes, all of similar size and conformation. In men, chromosome 23 has been stunted, losing a large amount of the DNA that makes up the normal type. It is quite clear that the Y chromosome was formed from the X, not the other way around.

In genetic terms, the Battle of the Sexes seems to have been quite literally just that. One life form invaded another & they were so nearly equal a compromise was reached where the offspring shared genetic parts from both parents. The compromise was such a good deal in terms of survivability that the lifeform dominated to the point where virtually all life is now sexual to one extent or another.

I’m fairly sure this is how it came about because looking around at all forms of life there is every possible variant of the battle results. In some the female is barely more than host genetically while in others it is the male who lost most inheritance.
