The rule against women being pope was probably made with the overlapping bell curves in mind (maybe not the picture but the concept).
The exclusively male priesthood of Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians has nothing to do with overlapping bell curves. It was instituted by Christ.

I am speculating on why not how.

I am sure the lord is quite familiar with population statistics as it is his universe in which they occur.

Most of the word of God also resonates with logic and math. But this is not surprising.

Universities are descended from monasteries and monks were Scholars and scientists.
