"She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes; She can ruin your faith with her casual lies; And she only reveals what she wants you to see; She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me." ~Billy Joel "She's Always a Woman to Me"
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and all therein. He made man in His own image, and then made a help-mate for Adam, and he named Woman, since she was taken from his own flesh and bone. We know that according to Scripture that Satan came to Eve in the Garden in the form of a serpent. And after their subsequent betrayal, rebellion and murder (the day they ate thereof they would die), we see that God then pronounces curses on the Serpent, the Woman, the Man, and the ground. In Genesis 3:20, we see that Adam had named her Eve, since she was the mother of all who would eventually come henceforth from the human race. We see that the dominant theme in the cursing process between the three parties had to do with offspring and child birth;
To the serpent, enmity would be between his seed and her seed. And a 'Seed' would come which would crush his head, and he would bruise His heel.
To the woman, there would be pain and sorrow in childbirth. I imagine that at that particular point, she had not yet ever felt pain, but the very idea of it didn't sound good.
And it is at this point, Satan begins actively plotting against the "Seed" of Woman. First, he influences Cain to kill Abel. (Gen. 4:1-15) He then devotes the next 1,600 years or so, attempting to corrupt the genetic blood-line of mankind, by intermingling his fallen angels with human women to the point that only Noah and his family remain untainted. (Gen. 6:1-10) God then wipes out the earth by the Great Flood and preserves only Noah and family to repopulate the earth once the waters subside. Now, consider the math on this. It is estimated that from Adam and Eve until the Flood was around 1,656 years and the population at the high end reached seven billion, and at the low end, two billion.
