From the Paper:

"Chapter 2 brings the element of the human being into closer focus, especially in regard to the fact that the human is God's most wonderful creation. In regard to God's creation of man, Bayliss uses this wonderful quote from Genesis to put everything into perspective "He gives all men life and breath and everything else" (Bayliss, p.39). In this quote, the term "men" is used rather than "women" because at this point both in "From Creation to the Cross" and indeed in the Bible itself, the female counterpart for the male form did not yet exist; however, it soon would, as the creation of woman is presented next. As the author presents the creation of woman, it was not simply done to provide the means by which the earth would be populated with more human beings, but also in order to provide balance to the human life, as the man and the woman complement one another and provide a special kind of love and nurturing for one another in order to make the human experience more rewarding, fuller and complete."
