Yigal,
  I am totally surprised that you have come up with such a conclusion backed 
by nothing but your own logic. My mother-in-law's parents had 9 daughters and 
one son. I also have a friend whose parents had 13 daughters and one son. 
   
  Human logic seems incapable of even understanding ordinary life events, it 
is amazing that this same logic is also used to understand the word of God :)
