Is There a Mother in Heaven? Part 6 of 10—God Does Not Play Dice

Finally, I cannot believe that God, the Father, could be both male and female, that both could be created in his own male likeness and image. To me, this goes beyond all good sense and reason. And remember, God does use the pronoun “us” in his proclamation of intended and actual creation. (See Genesis 1:26-27.)

In short, I believe in a God of order who works by natural laws—eternal laws! Look around you. His creations speak—no, shout!—of order. And to create a female out of a male does not speak to me of order or of any natural law.

Even cloning, as abhorrent as I think it is, duplicates the DNA. Thus, a clone will have the same sex as its source.

Also, if you look at the fact that man and woman are inherently different in form and in nature, you should be able to see they both could not be modeled after the same personage. All you have to do is compare yourself with your spouse or significant other . . . whatever that is.

Men and women do not look alike.
They do not think alike (at least on earth).
They do not act alike (at least on earth).
They have different expectations (at least on earth).
The woman is also instinctively more spiritual than the man, as a general rule (at least on earth).
On and on we could go regarding the differences between the nature of man and woman (at least on earth).

However, when all is said and done, those who do not accept the idea of a Mother in heaven are left to ponder the question: “Whom did God model the woman after, if not a Mother in heaven?”

While none of this proves there is a Mother in heaven, neither can one say there is not a heavenly Mother by any other proof.

And as to the matter of their being given no marriage in heaven, we’ll discuss that later. Remember this until then:

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9.)

As far as the Adam’s rib story goes, I believe that’s all it is—a story. I believe it to be symbolic in nature, although as to what end, I must confess I don’t know. However, many poetic ideas have been put forth as to the symbolic nature of this supposed literal creation.

Nevertheless, I guess it could happen the way it was portrayed in Genesis. After all, in 2005, a Russian scientist, Dr. Peter Gariaev, shone a gentle laser beam through a developing salamander embryo and redirected it into a developing frog embryo. This caused the frog embryo’s DNA to completely re-code itself with the instructions to build a healthy adult salamander!

And, if that’s not enough, there’s this: The two embryos were in hermetically sealed containers and only the light was allowed to pass through. They were completely separate from each other. While the many article on the Internet mentioned changing the form of the embryo, it said nothing about changing the sex of the form.

Even if this is truly how God created the woman, by taking a rib out of Adam, that does not necessarily mean there is no Mother in heaven. God would still need someone to model the woman after.

Nevertheless, I choose to believe that God works by order and not by experimentation, as this scientist was doing. As Matthew 5:48 points out, God is perfect, meaning whole and complete, according to the Greek. What need has he for experimentation and genetic engineering?

As Einstein said, ("God does not play dice with the universe.")
