If I could theology like this, I would be the happiest person on earth! Anything goes, no need to prove a thing. Just say “the asymmetry exists” and voila! the hierarchy is there. That the Bible never says so doesn’t matter; that there is not even a whisper of it, doesn’t matter. The inequality is there because NN has decided that it should be and therefore it is. Every single cult in the world operates like this, and if you challenge their teaching, YOU are the one who is too stupid and ignorant to understand the secret teaching God has revealed only to them. No amount of mathematical formulas is going to provide proof that God created a hierarchy, and since it is the only proof NN provides, we can safely say: he has no proof. I.e it is simply wishful thinking which he bases his entire theology on.
