I heard an argument that the male nipples are evidence that a woman was created first.
The reason given is the uselessness of this physical feature for males.
A supporting reason is that without the introduction of the male hormone, all babies would be females.
Thus, some "scientists" argue that the woman was created first.
I feel that this is similar to the argument about the human appendix.
Some "scientists" feel that the human appendix is useless, and thus a good evidence of our evolutionary past.
However, I believe I read somewhere that there have been recent discoveries about the use of the human appendix.
Similarly, I propose that rather than to suggest that the male nipples are useless, maybe we have not discovered the use yet.
Allow me to propose another argument.
You can ask any construction worker to attempt to build a house.
He would ask you for the materials first.
If you give him metal, glass and concrete, he could build a modern house.
If you ask him to include wooden walls, he would tell you that it is impossible, as you did not provide wood in the first place.
On the other hand, if you had provided metal, glass, concrete and wood in the first place, and ask the worker not to build any wooden structure, he could easily obey your order.
Similarly, if man is made of materials A, B, C and D, and woman is made of materials A, B and C, it is easier to create Adam first, and then to remove material D from man to create Eve.
Some may argue that since God can create something out of nothing, could He not have created the woman before the man (by adding the male hormone later)?
While the answer is "yes", God could have similarly created the man first before the woman.
Since both ways are possibly done by a limitless God, which way is it?
Well, what did God Himself say?
If some people cannot trust the Bible, because of their personal agenda, what else could be a good source of evidence for them?
The Bible records that people have itching ears.
They desire to hear only what they want to hear.
Indeed, let those who have ears, hear and listen to what God says.
More importantly, I believe that being created first or second has no significance other than pride.
I do not believe that God meant to put one gender as superior to the other.
If God has indeed created woman first, some people would have questioned the other way round.
I believe that the fair God means to let them complement each other.
However, it is true that from the Bible, we learnt that Eve sinned first.
Thus, I believe that what really matters is that after we are created, how do we respond to our Creator?
Draw near to God today.
