Why Eve could not be created by God without taking a rib of Adam?
606749
Adam was created out of the dust from the ground.  God breathed life into him, and he lived.  But then Adam was alone, and God knew that Adam needed a companion - someone that was just like him, just for him.  So God created Eve out of his rib, to symbolize that man & woman are linked together.  Read the chapter Genesis 2 in a Bible, and it says all this.

God and evolution can go hand in hand. If you believe that God created all life, then you must believe that same God created the bacteria from which all life has been scientifically suggested to have evolved from. So when you say "Life" I assume you are specifically referring to human life. Genesis tells us that God created Adam and Eve. It also says that they gave birth to 2 sons, Cain and Abel. Therefore, if you indeed believe every word in the new testament, you have to believe that incest is okay, because no other children they had are documented yet here we are today. Eve was only one female that God created. If they had more undocumented kids, which they must have under the circumstances, then a crucial part of the story was left out, but incest was still involved in order to populate the planet. I prefer to believe that I evolved from bacteria than from incestuous biblical characters, but that's just me. Many creatures in this world survive without any organs at all. They are called single cell organisms and it has been scientifically proven that they indeed have evolved over millions of years to create higher forms of life. If your religion requires you to follow every documented word blindly, then do so, but not if it means sacrificing common sense or intelligence in the process of believing what you have been programmed to believe.

God did NOT give birth to anyone, God created, not gave birth, Adam and Eve.

Wow, your question was confusing, I had to re-read it a few times. But, it's not a dumb question and I dont think it was a mean spirited question. Adam was the first man, fashioned from the dust and the breath of God in the image of God. Eve was the first woman made of Adams rib and the breath of God. They had children, namely 3 sons, Cain, Able, and Seth. So if you keep reading the bible from there, there are geneologies and you can see who begat whom on down the line. Long after Adam and many of his descendants had died, from the lineage of King David, a woman named Mary was bethrothed to a man named Joseph. Mary was indeed a virgin as she was not yet married. The Angel of the Lord came to her and told her that she was pregnant with our Savior, the Son of God.  What a daunting message, but God prepared for her just the right fiance, who loved her enough that at this seemingly crazy tale that he decided to preserve her life, her honor and put her away in secret. Well, the Angel of the Lord came to Joseph too, and told him that it is true, the baby is God's and your fiance's still a virgin (to paraphrase) If you read the Bible you'll get a more detailed version of this piece of History. The Baby Jesus grew to be a Man, all His life Jesus was close to God, His Father and prayed to him, because God is 3 persons, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. So, although Jesus is very much God, He is the Son of the Father. So, that is why Jesus is completely perfect and had no sin, and was able to sacrifice himself for us. At that moment when Jesus asked the Father "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do" He was extending that same grace to us too, even now. Jesus did not escape crucifixion, he did not escape death. He conquered death, he conquered the old law of the old testament that said there must be a sacrifice, a blood atonement for all sins. We were all born into sin because of Adam and Eve chosing to follow thier flesh and give in to temptation. We were permanantly severed from God, and still are if we dont believe that Jesus is God made flesh, and is God's Son. We must believe that and believe that Jesus did die that day on the cross, that he laid in a tomb dead, but was resurrected on the 3rd Day and that he ascended into heaven very much alive and there he sits at the right hand of the father, leaving The Holy Spirit ever interceding for us. That is the truth and the only way to be allowed into God's presence upon our death here on Earth. There is no blaspemy in that. Jesus was brought to trial for that, because he in no uncertain terms claimed his rightful title as The Son of God. He was found faultless by Pilate, however, the crowd shouted "Crucify Him" and took a foul murderer to be released and the mob sentanced thier own King thier own Savior to die. But, it was what had to be done. Jesus said before his crucifixion, "No one takes my life, I willingly lay it down".

God created Eve because he saw that "it is not good for man to be alone". \n\nOf course, everyone knows that it was forbidden to eat the fruit on that darn tree, just think if their roles would have been reverse in that garden then adam would BE THE ONE GETTING PREGGERS!\n\n(creating eve first then adam)

no.  God made Eve so Adam could have a partner, why would God restrict them from the very reason why he made her?

Gen 2:21  And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept. And He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh underneath. \nGen 2:22  And Jehovah God made the rib (which He had taken from the man) into a woman. And He brought her to the man. \nGen 2:23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman because she was taken out of man.

One will never find a competent Jewish translation to say 'rib'... but rather the word means 'side'.  It also says that after God removed this portion to fashion Eve, He filled in the space with flesh.  If all God too was a single cell or less....why would it specifically say the flesh was replaced.\n\nNo sir,  it the the quran that has corrupted the story.

I would ask you to pull out the Bible that it appears you're already a little familiar with. Notice. It does NOT say that Adam and Eve were the ONLY people God created, just the first. Two points:\n\nA) Cain took a wife after he killed Abel... Hmm... The only woman on Earth at the time that the Bible tells about is Eve... Where did he get his wife? (God made other individuals elsewhere).\n\nB) When God banished Cain from the garden, he said that people would surely find him and kill him, wherever he went... If his mom and dad and brothers and sisters were the only people God had created, what was he afraid of???\n\nTo your second notion, the Ages... The Bible REPEATEDLY says that God's time is not like our time and that a second to God could be a million years here on Earth. Isaiah is the best example. "My ways are not like the ways of man." Meaning, simply, that God doesn't operate the same way we do.\n\nIn summation, it is quite simple for Christians to believe in both Creation and Evolution... You just have to be willing to do your homework...

When God was handing out logic and reason he gave it all to Adam.  What was left for Eve you ask: emotional and irritional behavior. The recipe for crazy!

This is one of the main reasons that Christianity is difficult for me.. One must take the Adam and Eve story as a literally true event for original sin to be a valid doctrine.. If Adam and Eve are metaphorical, then  the death of Jesus was to no avail.

Every time Eve got pregnant, she bore Adam twins: always a male and a female. This is how the earth started to get populated. Back then, seeing how few humans were, the main rule of reproduction was that no brother or sister was allowed to marry the twin they were born with. That was the system ordained by God for Adam and his children to follow. Adam acted as their ruler, prophet, and father. Among his children were Cain and Able. Cain – believed to be Adam’s first son – was born with a beautiful twin sister; but Able, on the other hand, was born with a less attractive one. Though Cain desired his sister of birth, he was prohibited from marrying her. So she was given to Able. This caused Cain to hate his brother. Then Adam got inspired by God on how to resolve the matter: whoever’s sacrifice gets eaten up by fire will gain the right to marry Cain’s twin sister. Cain, who was a farmer, sacrificed a bunch of dry plants. He did not put his heart into it. Able, however, who was a shepherd, sacrificed one of the best cows he had. So the fire consumed his sacrifice, making Cain even more jealous of him. That's why Cain killed Able.\n\nAs for sacrifice in Islam in general: During the time of the pilgrimage, some people sacrifice animals for the sake of God and distribute them to the poor. This has been criticized by ignorant non-Muslims who compare this to sacrifices made by disbelievers. The Qur’an elaborates on this by saying: “It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches God but your piety. He has subjected them to you in this way so that you may glorify God for having guided you.”

God created Adam and Eve so he was their father (and ours) so it must have been: Adam God and Eve God.

No.  Because this contradicts God being almighty.  God could create nothing that He couldn't do with as He pleases.

The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is Free Will, our ability to choose.  If God did not set that Tree in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve would not have free will but would merely be robots.  God's ultimate plan was to give his creation the ability to choose.  Just like a parent would tell their child to beware of something, God did the same for Adam and Eve. God told them to not eat of the Tree just like a parent will tell a child not to do certain things because the parent may know more.  It doesn't mean that the child is not able to do it.  He/she can but the consequences that follow are entirely that child's responsibility.  Unfortunately in the case of Adam and Eve, the consequences of their decision had cosmic-sized consequences.  But the important point is that God wants freely willing people to have a relationship with him.  It's always been a choice and it will always be one.  That's my understanding and hopefully that helps.

Nobody is born sinful.  How in the world is a tiny little newborn a sinner?  They have committed no crime and do not have any sense of the word at all.  All a newborn knows is that it needs food a lot, it needs diapers, and it needs its parents to love it.  It needs to see its mother's face and feel comfort at her breast.  Nothing sinful about that.  The bible was messed up by the Romans and changed.  The original bible has nothing of the sort in it, and eve is not the cause of all pain either.  A person is not guilty of another person's crime, and that includes eve.  In Islam, BOTH adam and eve were at fault.  Blame is not placed specifically.  And you are told that your own actions determine whether or not you go to heaven or hell.

I don't see how having a wife would make him less perfect. That does not mean he lusted, God created Eve for Adam, so why would he not create someone for Jesus? And remember Eve was created for Adam BEFORE sin existed, so how could having a companion be a sin?
