The Pinnacle of Creation

A little Biblical math for you (sort of). First, a key:

g(x) = glory of x; G = God; M = man; W = woman; C = children

g(x) > x except where x = G

"... And the glory of children is their father." - Proverbs 17:6

g(C) = M

"For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God..." - 1 Corinthians 11:7

g(G) = M
g(G) = g(C)
"... but woman is the glory of man." - 1 Corinthians 11:7

g(M) = W
g(M) > g(C)
Therefore,

W > M > C

(The equation breaks down a little here, for we know God is neither equal to
children nor less than man or woman.)
The object admired by the object admired by God, must really be something. Woman appears to be God's finest piece of work. After all, until woman was created things were just "good." Once she came along it was "very good" (Genesis 1-2).
