This is the first similarity that we can state. God created man out of the earth and woman out of the bones of man, "Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken" (Gen. 2:23).

... called epistemic determination, and though it is argued that simple word choices and sentence structure of things like "If God knows you will do this then you must do this" are solely what make this deterministic (Schwartz), it is obvious to anyone with any sense of logic that this is just ... simply must happen. This shows that though there seems to be a choice on the surface, if one is to believe the text of the Bible then there really is no choice in the matter of their destiny.
