Reply to comment by DownwindLegday in Women have more bones within their bodies than men when they are pregnant by WTFI5THIS

This should be the defacto example that the entirety of the Bible is symbolic and should never be taken literally. Rib might actually mean dna, but the languages through time had no word for it.

My favorite theory is that God took Adam’s dick bone to make Eve. And that’s why humans don’t have a rod in their schlong anymore like most mammals do.

My biggest issue with the story is that even in a symbolical sense it doesn't make sense, since every human being starts out as a female embryo (kind of) and so you'd think that god would switch the roles in the Adam and Eve story to emphasize this incredible fact.

Its just an alegory to say God create the woman for men and a missing part of him is in the woman so they should stay together to become a whole again.

I think that it was poetic imagery on the teamwork between husband and wife. (At his side. Not above or below, but side by side.)
