God made Eve from Adam's rib- so then how many ribs do men have? What about women?

God started by creating Adam and Eve who were the first to begin procreating. They were having sons who were marrying wives after settling in other areas. Nowhere does it say Adam and Eve were the ONLY humans God created. He created wives for Adam and Eve's Sons.\nWhat you're suggesting makes no sense. If any human or animal or creature attempts to mate with the wrong species, even if successful at it, the progeny end up sterile.\nIt's pretty clear from Genesis Chapters 4 and 5 that Eve was not mating with her sons.\n***\nAs for the sister theory it doesn't work either because Genesis gives a sequential account of who Eve was giving birth to. There were no sisters yet for Cain.\n***\nI'm using a New American Standard version which is considered the to be the most scholarly accurate as far as I know and it's a bit different from what you wrote:\n5:1 - This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.\n2 - He created THEM male and female, and he blessed them and named THEM Man in the day when they were created.\n\nThere is no account of incest of any kind. God created wives for Adam's sons separately.

The male specimen and the female specimen lack the umbilicus (commonly called a navel, or belly button).\n\nGod created Adam and Eve. They didnt have mothers.\n\nTherefore they have concluded that the iced male and female human specimen is indeed our ancestors Adam and Eve.

No, they don't.  Humans males also have the same number of ribs as female humans.

Okay...so Adam was a disobient guy missing a rib, would couldn't control his wife, who went on to see his kids commit incest in order to procreate.   What's your point?\n\nOh, yes, and you forgot the fact that he was a liar claiming to be the first man when we all know he is a myth and that humankind is a product of evolution.

Genesis tells us that Adam and Eve had two sons: Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel, was exiled by God, and then in Genesis 4:17 we read that Cain had relations with his wife. Where did Cain get his wife? The answer is simple:  Cain married either his sister or a niece. \n     In Genesis 5:4 we see that Adam had other sons and daughters.\n\n"This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created. When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died," (Gen. 5:1-5).\n\n      Since Adam lived several hundred years, having lots of children was not a problem. The Genesis account does not tell us about the order of the births nor does it tell us how old they were. By having many children it is certainly possible that there were many women around. This would mean that Cain married either a sister or a niece or some other relation. Of course at this point, the question of inbreeding is raised. But it is not a problem early on in the human race because the genetic line was so pure. Therefore, the prohibition against incest was not proclaimed until much much later (Lev. 18:6-18).\n\nI hope this helps answer your question.

Adam was not born from a woman. He was created by God.  Jesus was born a man thru holy spirit.

ofcourse nice question ... and this leads us to another question ...\n\nWhat was Adam's and Eve's DNA!!?\n\nJesus is like Adam ... No earthly or non-earthly father ... he is a messenger that God created from nothing just like he created Adam and Eve!

First question...I am a very feminist "Christian" and I believe that God is both, since there is both male and female...if all of us are created in God's image, then women are also...hence the both sexes present.\nSecond question...to most people that have studied the Bible, original sin IS NOT Eve's fault. It is the fault of Adam. He lied to Eve about what God had said about the Tree of Knowledge and when it came time to "confess" Adam blamed Eve for everything and also (and I'm paraphrasing here) called God an idiot for making her. Also according to Jewish Law and Myth, a man is always held accountable for a womans actions.\nThird question...there is a Bible called the Jeromes Bible, it was translated by St. Jerome and he took the original Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew text word for word in the translation...the reason I bring that translation up is because women are not as "negatively" portraited as in some other translations. Sure you still have Jezebel, Deliha, and all those other honeys...but when women are discussed, it is not as "irrational" as some other translations.\nWhat you have to remember is that we don't honestly know what is in the original text...the Bible has become corrupted by man and HIS own dogma and ideology. The most important thing about faith is to know what you believe in and to use the bible as a guide...not as faith itself. \nGod does not hate women, nor is He indifferent to them. He made as all, both sexes, equal...Eve was taken from Adams rib, not from his feet to be above him, or from his feet to be below him; but from his rib, to be equal to him. That is something we all must remember.

The bible states that God created man (humanity, all the races) on the 6th day. Male and female. He blessed them and told them to multiply and fill the earth. Then, on the 7th day, He rested. Later.... in what many Christians today call 8th day creation.... God planted a garden but, saw there was no man to till the earth so, He made Adam, the first farmer. God brought to Adam many animals and Adam named them. These were the domestic animals we use today on farms and as beasts of burden. Wild aimals had been previously created on day 5. \n\nWhen Cain killed Abel, Cain went to the land of Nod were he took a wife. He married a female who was a 6th day creation human. \n\nLater, Adam and Eve had many children. One child, Seth, was to be the ancestor of Noah, who was the ancestor of David. From this lineage came Mary, mother of God. The reason for the lineage breakdown (the begatting) is to let us all know Christ's (for want of a better word) pedigree.

No, Eve was not created with Adam.  There is the legend of Lilith, the first woman, she refused to do what Adam told her and she flew off to eventually marry Salathiel (an Angel gone bad) and they had some hellashish creature babies.  OOOOOO now the Christians are gonna jump me, they ought to check out how many of each kind of animal was on the ark, and who really killed Goliath, and were did the Sons of Anak come from if all the giants died in the flood.  Just a few inconsistencies in that great book.  But I believe in what is right, my own version, and if their versions every denomination can be "the way," then so can mine, but only for me!  Thanks man, this was fun.

She was the first wife of Adam, made from the earth.  She refused to submit to him, thinking of herself as his equal rather than lesser, rightfully so.  God banished her then created Eve from Adams rib.

Eve was created from the rib of Adam. Same genetic material. So, in terms of genetics Adam and Eve were brother and sister. The tale I've heard repeated most often for the different races and blood types was the story of the Tower of Babylon and how when God punished man for trying to build the Tower to heaven God banished mankind to the 4 corners of the world and when he did this he cursed them not to speak the same language. Part of this tale was that God altered their appearance so they'd appear as strangers to each other. When he did this we ended up with the different races and that lead to the differing blood types as well.

That is a great question that we will unfortunately never find the accurate answer to.\nAlthough, it only says in the Bible that Adam and Eve were the FIRST man and woman God created...I don't think it ever said they were the ONLY one's he created, if your looking for answers regarding the Bible.\nI'd also like to add that genetically, it's next to impossible to have a healthy child created in incest, especially as close as brother and sister. If those problems exist now, then reason says they would exist way back then as well. So, I think either God created more people, or Adam and Eve were the first "modern humans" along the evolution chain. I'm a bit undecided about it since I believe in God along with evolution...kind of weird, huh?

In heaven, there will be male or female.  We will be spiritual beings.  Quite different and better than we are now.  Adam and Eve were made to work together to glorify God.  They each had a very special purpose to God.

not really, lets say for some reason (god forbid) u cut ur finger,, now  a finger is supposed to be there but you dont have it, it doesn't mean ur sons and daughters wouldn't have it, they would be born with 10 fingers, not 9.  maybe adam didn't have that rib, i dont know, but when the rest were born, they would be born complete... at least thats how i see it

Genesis 1:27 says "So God created man in His own image:in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Genesis chapter 2 states that woman was taken out of man but prior to that in the verse above, God had stated what the end result will be. \n\nSo yes, the raw materials were different but the results are the same - both made in the image of God. Mind you, if woman was taken from man who was taken from the earth then she was ultimately taken from the earth as well.\n\nFinally, in Gen 2:7, "God formed man out of dust and breathed into his nostril the breath of life; and man became a living being." The same spirit that gave man life is the same spirit that made the woman a living being. The animals and plants were not treated in this way! Man and woman are different from the others because we were made in God's image to have dominion over all the rest of creation.
