The primary reason that men have the authority in the church is indeed based in creation and is NOT due to the fact that the woman was deceived. Adam was in authority over Eve BEFORE the Fall, not BECAUSE of the Fall. That interpretation is taken by liberal egalitarians who view the authority structure in the home as something that was imposed because of Eve's sin... but that is patently false and misses the point entirely. Paul does insert the comment about Eve being deceived, indeed... but a) I don't believe it's his primary argument here, b) it is CERTAINLY not his only argument, and c) the fact still remains that Adam's authority over Eve was not imposed by God because of Eve's sin - it was pre-existing.

I don't think so brother. At least that is not what I am convinced of by Scripture. God says,
13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
2 reasons: 1. Adam was formed first. 2. Adam was not devieved, the woman was. The first shows God's appointment of authority. The second shows woman's weakness.
