Scientist have learned how to clone an animal. Who would have thought that was possible not too long ago? Maybe science just hasn't caught up yet with the knowledge of God.

Symbolical, but it is not sure what it would have meant.
Don't forget that the rib is only one of the bible genesis stories. The other one has them both made out of dirt at the same time.
The sybology of this story might have made sense to the early iron age people who created it. They lived in a patriarchal Kingdom. Maybe they put that part in to make up for blaming Eve for causing all the trouble in the world by eating the apple.

The Bible does say they God actually took a rib from Adam to form Eve. It is a symbolism of the marriage vow. It shows us that when we marry someone the 2 shall become one.

It is an allegory. It may also be true, in the physical sense. Adam may have been a leader, in an antidelvian society. Eve may have been that society. If that group, or religous congregation was subverted by someone from outside, it may have collapsed, like Rome, Egypt, etc. In fact, Eden may have been Egypt, or Babylon...
The Bible is full of examples of how God calling people out of a decadent society, and into a better place, usually across a river.
But what the heck, I can make up at least three allegories, out the song, 'Puff the Magic Dragon'.

I believe it just symbolizes that woman is a part of man which means that she should submit to him since she wouldn't exist without him.
I don't necessarily follow that, but I think that's what it means. Remember, God pulled Eve from Adam's rib because he knew he would be attracted to and love her since she was a part of his own body.

The rib your talking of was a bone taken from Adam's side, not His foot for Her to be below Him, not the head for Her to be above but BY HIS SIDE, sin changed that for the present but Jesus [see Heb.1:5-9, Heb. 13:8, John 8:58 and John 1 for Jesus being God] made Her to stand by His side and in the earth made new that will be the case once again, find out more free bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org email me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless

it's not a multiple choice (pick-and-choice book the bible).
People want to choose what they like ,dislike,or whatever.
Please read:
2 Tim 3:(16)
2 Peter 1:16-21
2 Peter 3:(15-16)
Romans 4:3
John 5:20-47
Acts 17:10-12

Acording to the full myth, at first God made man and woman at the same time, both from clay.
They were Adam and his first wife, Lilith.
God instructed Lilith to obey Adam, and she refused.
She said "were were made the same, or the same clay, at the same time, so why should I obey him?"
So God banished Lilith from Eden, where she became a Daemon.
Then, God made Eve from Adam's rib, so Eve would be nothing more than a part of Adam, dependent on him and obedient to him.
.... It's just one more reason no woman in her right mind should believe any of this crap.
