Sadly, you are correct.
We live in an environment full of mutagens*, and our bodies are constantly working to repair damage to our genes and chromosomes. Having two copies of each chromosome makes most repairs easy. The broken part of the chromosome is snipped out and replaced with a copy of that part made by copying the healthy chromosome. However there is one chromosome in humans which does not have a twin in its call to copy from. That, of course, is the "Y" chromosome.
So, with every generation, more mutations are occurring in this gene and being passed on without repair. Despite having known this for at least 50 years, governments have kept allowing mutagens to be added to our food supply, knowing they are speeding up the extinction of males.
I'd presume that one day geneticists will be able to rebuild the gene and replace it in such a way that the rebuilt gene is passed on. But, with the wealthy constantly carrying on about the need to drastically reduce the population, you can be sure only the richest 1% will ever get it.
And some us sheilas would greatly miss males if we had to live without them.

And if God created us "in his image", then that means God has a penis, too. Why does he need that? There is no Mrs. God as far as I know, and if there was, why do they need to have sex? And let's not even get started on God's digestive tract.
And people still take that book seriously. What a laugh.

What are you talking about? How can you say He never intended to create Eve when he: creates man, commands him about The Tree Of Knowledge, then creates woman. A natural progression of things with very little time in between events, and no other events separating the 2 creations. Have a little patience.

I mean, as an artist, I create things in man's image all the time, but that doesn't mena I make them anatomically correct.. complete with a functional brain and digestive system.
God made Man (an animal) in his image. So, god took a mammal and formed him similiarly to how HE looked.
It's really just Man saying, "I am separating myself from the animals by claiming that the creator of all things fashioned ME to look like HIM."

how could god just "TAKE" a mammal then make it look like himself, wouldn't he have to make mammals first? That completely contradicts the adam and eve story... And you are claiming this as if you KNOW. Did you see this happen, or just claiming this with no evidence whatsoever and just pretending you have all of this hidden knowledge nobody else has? Do you have any proof this is what happened?

18 And Yahweh God said, "It is not good that the man is alone. I will make for him a suitable helper."
Did God originally have the intentions of creating Eve??? After he created Adam, he felt adam needed a "suitable helper" so he created Eve, adn they later procreated. The fact that they procreated would mean that Adam already had a penis, and sperm lol.... Now If God obviously had no intentions of orignally creating Eve, why would Adam have needed sperm???
Was beastiality acceptable? lol
