I think you are really confused..... What you're probably thinking of is the creation of men in Genesis. God created Adam from dust and decided that he needed a helper. He put Adam to sleep and took a rib from him and made Eve. This way, women and men would complete each other. Adam was the only one who had one less rib, and the previous explains why..

If you gone through a bible class you've been told volumes of lies. The rib one is just the beginning.

It is a common story told about Adam giving up a rib to create Eve? (I think that is what i was told anyway)
Most of the stories you were told in bible class were fictional!

People who "think" men have one less rib than women are people who have one less brain than non-literalists of the buybull.
Why do you believe the codswallop (or should I say, godswallop)?
Because they're easy answers and require no thinking.
Because they "answers" are comforting when you're afraid.
Because people are taught that ignorance is something to be ashamed and embarassed of, something to hide. Just as drug and alcohol abusers don't overcome their addictions until they admit it, so it is with the ignorant. One can't learn until one is brave enough to say, "I don't know".

No men have same number. Interesting thing is the rib is one of the bones that can regenerate itself as long as you don't take too much out. Notice how God didn't take it out of Adam's head or foot? But from his rib...equality in God's eyes but with a different role.

No, I took anatomy last semester, men and women have the same number of ribs.
This is a myth because God took one of Adams ribs to create Eve. Its possible that Adam had one more rib and that when God took one of them He made Eve with the number that Adam had after he took it.
Lies in religion are common. Too many people who are different share their oppinions. If you want to know the truth then ask God.

For example: Noah's Ark. It was a King who sailed his livestock down a river after a flood wiped out his village. Not a World Wide flood that wiped out life except Noah and what he brought.
Like I said. A Story derived from fact.
That's another lie right there

*Checking* 1,2,3,......
Nope, all there. Although for centuries this was 'known' to be true, because the Church said it must be. If anything, males may be slightly more likely to have supernumary (extra ribs), although teratogens are the main cause.
