Women, Stem-Cells and the Darwinian Debate

Scientists are entering new fields of developmental biology. It is time to revisit our former understanding of how humans arrived at two very different genders as well as how the building blocks of life - cells - work.

Women are identified by genomes which are karyotype 46XX, men carry the XY genome. Although the X genes can originate from either men or women, the Y or male gene cannot. If evolution is to be believed then women and men came from the same source and that XY genes somehow morphed into XX over time. How were the progeny made possible over time when there would have been no women at first to produce them? Are the evolutionists going to go on record as saying that males were androgenous or self-perpetuating until the gene pool had some kind of an abnormality?

The Bible tells us, "For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (First Corinthians 11:8-9) This passage tells us with amazing clarity that males cannot evolve from males and in order to become women, the male genetic DNA would also need to be present inside the woman's body; it would be difficult for XY genes (male) to become XX genes (women) by normal biological development or origin of the species. Not impossible, but highly confusing.

Genesis 2:21 tells us, "So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place. And the Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. And the man said, 'This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken from Man." This is confirmed by the Lord Jesus at Matthew 19:4-6 and the Apostle Paul at 1 Timothy 2:13.

Eve was apparently created from a part of Adam's body. We know this could be possible because surgeons and scientists are creating artificial cells from the stem-cells of other creatures all the time. In fact, in 2006 a scientist named Shinya Yamanaka from Kyoto University induced stem-cells made without even the use of embryos. According to Time Magazine (February 9, 2009), he used four genes inserted into a skin cell's genome "using retrovirus vectors" which help to erase an adult cell's memory. In August of 2008, scientist Douglas Melton from Harvard bypassed stem-cells "altogether" and produced a mouse pancreatic cell which produced insulin from one that previously did not, thus giving hope to diabetics around the world. Stem-cells are being reprogrammed in ways never even thought possible before.

Again, stem-cells can now be created without even the need of embryos. Once they are generated they can be transplanted into a patient where they can repair other cells and tissue or even fix defects. Scientists can erase the memory contained within the cell so that it can do other tasks or be used for other purposes.

This tells me that modern science appears to be more in line with "creationism" than it is with "evolution." If modern scientists had simply waited on mankind to evolve into the fittest, we would be waiting for a very long time. Now with the biological development of stem-cell transfer and regeneration which God apparently originally exercised, there may be hope to cure health-related concerns such as diabetes, Parkinson's and heart disease.
