        Which tracks perfectly with both the Bible refering to multiple bones, only a part of which were “taken”, and modern Hebrew speakers in the linked thread taking about how “rib” is probably the best translation.

        It’s also why Spider Monkeys are the second most Chosen primate, since they both lack a bacculum and had their own relative Spider Monkey Eve. Lacking only Spider Monkey Jesus. While Chimpanzees are mere animals, still having their dick bones.

    Isn’t the story that Eve was a remake after Lilith was kicked out? He needed the rib as “source material”?

      Which is kind of a weird requirement when you just made the universe from scratch last week. Like why do we need crafting materials now?

    Nah, god just fucked up a little when making Adam, forgot to give him a full set of ribs. The whole female creation myth was just some quick thinking to cover up god’s little oopsie and make Adam feel better. In reality, girls don’t exist, especially on the internet

    Interesting question. I thought it said as much in Gen 1:24-25 or Gen 2:19, but a quick scan suggests the first reference to male and female animals is in the Ark arc.

    It is possible Gen 2:21 could be interpreted to mean God did the rib thing for all male animals, but I think that’d be an unusual extrapolation. Those verses appear only to be talking about Adam. I think male and female animals were created together in Gen 1:24-25, but I can’t point to any specific words that support that.

    They can make up more silly beliefs on the spot, this is the wrong way to challenge bullshit.

      The only wrong way to challenge bullshit is to stop enjoying the creation of equal and opposite bullshit.

      When it stops being fun, find better people to spend time with.
