===Yusuf Ali=== | |||
{{Quote||A man's seed is the quintessence of his body. It is therefore said metaphorically to proceed from his loins, i.e., from his back between the hipbones and his ribs. His backbone is the source and symbol of his strength and personality. In his spinal cord and in the brain is the directive energy of the central nervous system, and this directs all action, organic and psychic. The spinal cord is continuous with the Medulla Oblongata in the brain.}} | |||
Firstly, Yusuf Ali does not explain what he means by seed: Sperm, semen, ovum or zygote. | |||
If this were a metaphor, loins can be assumed as the source of a man's next generation. But what is a rib metaphorically? | |||
If the backbone is so crucial for man to exist, why would the crucial seed (or drop) ''flow'' near the backbone instead of both being the same thing metaphorically? A man's backbone can often be symbolic but in no way is it related to his offspring. | |||
There is no reason for even mentioning medulla oblongata here. | |||
