If the Bible is the inspired word of God, why does the genealogy to Jesus list only the men? Luke chapter 3 lists only men going back to Adam. God himself said that Jesus would come from the woman.
Quote:
Genesis Chapter 3: 15.
15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring [a] and hers;
he will crush [b] your head,
and you will strike his heel."

Additionally, now, through science, we know that man contributes only half of the chromosomes for new life. However, the woman contributes not only the other half of the chromosomes but the genes for the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the energy factory of every human cell. Without it, there would be no energy or in other words, no life.

An individual's mitochondrial genes are not inherited by the same mechanism as nuclear genes. At fertilization of an egg cell by a sperm, the egg nucleus and sperm nucleus each contribute equally to the genetic makeup of the zygote nucleus. In contrast, the mitochondria, and therefore the mitochondrial DNA, usually comes from the egg only. The sperm's mitochondria enter the egg but do not contribute genetic information to the embryo.[61] Instead, paternal mitochondria are marked with ubiquitin to select them for later destruction inside the embryo.[62]

The woman’s ovum contains other properties which support the growth of new human life. Without these components, new life is not possible.

Therefore, the woman actually contributes more to the new life than the father. God acknowledged this in Genesis. If the entire bible had been inspired by God, Jesus’ genealogy would have followed the line of the mothers.
