So, I’m listening to this professor of biology and director
of a very prestigious genome institute. The discussion was all about men and
women. Are they equal or are they not? This professor thinks they are not, and
scientists got it wrong.
Well, as we discussed last week, it won’t be the first time.
Science is always in the process of discovery. Nothing in science can be
absolute. As the machines change and people discover new things, different
conclusions are reached. The word in the Bible on the other hand is the product
of an infinite G-d, who foresaw all that would happen and included in His
wisdom, everything that will forever be necessary for mankind. G-ds signature
is truth and everything in the Bible is truth. Truth doesn’t change.
That is why Maimonides writes, “this Torah – Bible, will
never change.” Anybody who thinks the Bible is antiquated and lacking, denies
what the words inside the Bible say, and which has been transmitted throughout
the generations, “And G-d spoke to the Israelites… before each single one of
the nation..’
There are over 10 trillion cells in a person’s body. The nucleus of each cell carries 23 pairs of
chromosomes which carry the DNA, hereditary info, and execute all the necessary
functions. All 22 pairs of the chromosomes in both men and women are identical
except for one chromosome pair in the male which is an XY pair and in the
female it is an XX pair.
Most scientists and biologists believe that this one
difference between men and women is restricted to the reproductive tract and
apart from this area in the body everything else is equivalent. Men are
identical to each other 99.9% in their genome, and the equivalence between men
and women is 98.5 %.
The question is. If men and women are so similar to each
other, how come for every man with rheumatoid arthritis 2 to 3 women will be
affected? How come for every girl with autism spectrum disorder, 5 boys will be
affected? How come for every man with lupus, 6 women will have the same
disorder?
Another example. Men
will die younger than women with dilated cardiomyopathy.
This professor asked his colleagues for an explanation and
most give him the answer, “ I don’t know.” When pushed further they will say,
perhaps it’s the fault of the XY chromosome or hormones.
His “theory”, is that the difference between men and women
is not just limited to the reproduction tract, but on a fundamental level
within each cell and all over the body, Men are different than women.
Hello??
Thousands of years ago the Bible already describes to us the
difference between men and women. G-d created people “in the form and image of
G-d.” Humans are a reflection of the spiritual, manifestations of G-d
Himself. “From my flesh I perceive G-d” says the Bible.
A spiritual person will know all that is in humans, because
G-d attests to the fact that He created humans in His Image. And a more
corporeal person gets a hint of what’s up with G-dliness, by studying the form
and functionality of the human existence.
“G-d did not create even one small creation for naught.”
Although there appears to be so many similarities between men and women,
mysticism tell us they are fundamentally different. Men think differently than
women, and women experience life emotionally, very different than men.
Men are designed to be more of a thinker and aloof, and
women are designed to be more nurturing and supportive of each other. Men are
physically stronger and naturally attracted to the beauty of women, and women
are physically weaker and attracted to the ability of the man to provide.
It’s all in the Torah, and I ran out of my allowance for
words.
