Why God Created Woman


Botticelli:  Birth of Venus
The Bible tells us that God created woman as a helper to man, because it was not good for man to be alone.  But God's thoughts are not our thoughts, God's ways are not our ways.  For this St. Valentine's Day, let me offer another theory of Why God created Woman:

Maybe God saw the flaws in his original design, and wanted to fix it. Woman was a new form of humanity, not just a helper but a refinement of the original.   This was a new being -- more beautiful, subtle, gentle, peaceful, more like God herself.
