In this world, the women are the creators of life. However, a patriarchal society has deemed it unfeasible for a woman to be the Divine Creator. Nevertheless, God has both masculine and feminine qualities - else how could both men and women be made in 'His' image?

I don't take every word of the Bible literally, I think you'd be spinning around in circles if you did that. Realize that it was written down by men and reflects the society which created it. Not to say that there aren't universal truths within it. But I do not believe that an all powerful being could be limited by a classification such as gender.
