A word of advice: don't waste your time on the "questions" that are clearly not genuine questions and are only meant to be condecending.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is the logic is that men go to war and women traditionally don't (at least in Arabia), therefore the can be shortage of men at times so multiple women will partner with a single man. Interestingly, if you visit certain Himalayan cultures the opposite is true and women have multiple husbands (polandry). In that case it's because there is a scarcity of good land.
P.S. Wikipedia has an entire article with the following title:
Polygamy in Christianity
You might like to take a look.
