Drawing our focus back to the differences amongst human beings according to gender being accounted for by the presence and lack of God's image, we have this gem of evidence from Aristotle where we have a neutral observation made upon a demographic sampling of people who were yet not in covenant relationship with the one true God, the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. Aristotle is making his observations from a humanity which is under the ramifications of the Fall in Genesis, and that effect would probably have been slightly more evident then it was in Ancient Kingdoms of Israel and Judah being that ancient Hellenistic World was not in covenant relationship with God, not keeping the Law, and were not blessed by God according to that covenant.

What would have been in play in Aristotle observations distinct from Jewish history at least periodically is a “natural” sinful state of humanity wherein the observation of Gender distinction as conveyed in the book of Genesis would have been more readily observable apart from God's grace. Aristotle's critique of the feminine gender is not flattering, and clearly points to her as the less noble half of humanity in virtue. It clearly supports from a religiously Judea-Christian neutral viewpoint a basis of reasoning that man would be more noble then the woman, because he is the portion of humanity who bares God's masculine image through inheritance in his physical body, and the woman does not.

Let us move on to another observer to note a distinction in gender in humanity, the wisest man who ever lived up to and in his day, King Solomon, the Son of David.

Ecclesiastes 7:27-29 - “Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.”

Solomon is pointing out here, after pointing out a femme-fatal prototype and who it is that is fortunate to escape from her clutches earlier in this passage, that in his search for uprightness in humanity that he has found it lacking in his day. He finds one man in a thousand who is a noble or just man, but finds none among the ranks of women. Solomon then concludes that the only reason for this disparity is that “... God hath made man upright;...”.

Clearly, through Biblical knowledge, one would infer knowing Genesis that Solomon is drawing upon Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;...”, in inferring his conclusion upon the disparity of virtue he observes between men and womenin his day. Solomon observes that significant virtuous character is ascribed to the person of a scant minority of men, but not by women at all duetoGod making man upright in Genesis 1:27, making him in his image. This was the first blessing bestowed upon man as evidenced in Genesis 1:26. Its basis depends upon being created in God's Image. It was an authoritative blessing giving man dominion over the earth. Like all endeavors enacted by God, it was not arbitrary, and it carried implications concerning virtue even over the centuries into the time of Solomon's reign. Ecclesiastes 7:27-29, is an example of the ramifications of sinful humanity being experienced by Solomon's observations as well as the implications of God's 1^st blessing, the blessing being bestowed upon man in creation in God endowing men with his own image. This would have been observed in these circumstances around the time of Solomon's reign over Israel, approximately sometime around 900 B.C.

If one does not believe this line of reasoning as they believe that women were created in God's image, how does one account for this discrepancy here in this portion of the Bible, and in all cases for that matter, in all cases that have been alluded to in the Bible so far which have clearly indicated that man and not woman was created in God's image. Is there some sort of separate blessing man has received which accounts for this that is recorded in the Bible or even separate from the Bible and in secret, that accounts for him having to some degree in a sinful world more uprightness than women? If so, what is it?

Is it somehow because woman, in Eve hearkened to the serpent’s lie, and man in Adam did not? If that is the case might someone expound how that would follow. Is there some other reason for Solomon's observation? Does one claim that humanity just cannot know the truth? Would one claim that it occurs just spontaneously throughout Biblical history where one observes these difference in Gender in humanity? Is it being asserted that the Holy Bible is arbitrary in part or in whole. If not, then how does one define God's blessing in creating in creation his image as causal,present, and real without simultaneously contradicting this in all of the previous instances alluded to in this exposition without inappropriatelycharacterizingGod and his Word contained in the Holy Bible as arbitrary entities?
