Are X-rays and autopsies faked just to disprove religion as well? Do radiologists Photoshop the X-rays before anyone sees them?

Several months ago I asked a true-false question here
"True or false: The ribcage of a man has one fewer ribs than that of a woman?"
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ai2Sj83gmnQqCBp45nnrJBnsy6IX?qid=20070302145040AA7PTUC
It was astonishing that 27% of the respondents (9/33) thought that men had one fewer ribs.
It speaks both of the power of the church and the poor quality of education that would allow such ignorance to proceed into adulthood.
We need critical thinking skills more than we need religious education. Bar none!

Well, if you mean in the USA, I have seen very strange, weird, odd ideas here. Therefore, I dare not say that your question is 100% wrong.
But it doesn't matter. In the usa is common to believe the weirdest things, like some people are totally convinced that prayer in schools should be absolutely forbidden, and thus, you better kill somebody than try to make somebody pray in a school, something that in the former comunist contries was very common. In Poland, still under comunist rule, the teacher took the children to the nearest church to thank God for what they had learnt that day.
Just try to do that here, in the land of the free

I've seen biology students blow this on an A&P exam.
That's how ingrained this silly story is.....
You know what's the most silly? Even if you're a Christian and believe this nonsense, if a god found that a man with one less rib worked fine, don't you think he'd base his new model on the prototype, not the original?

"grew to become into there an exact factor (extra like term) in history the place it went from equality (if there grew to become into any) and basically slipped into the inferiority (if it is a word) of females" KINDA... SORTA...sure and NO. Sociology is the medical learn of societies. Get your self a intro sociology or anthropology textbook and initiate analyzing. you will learn that anthropology breaks issues all the way down to 'societies'. the main historic society of all is the hunter-gatherer society (in recent times it is noted as the gatherer-hunter society - and this distinction underscores something significant: the amassing activities of the females presented the vast majority of the nutrition recurring. interior the previous, the choice grew to become into erroneously assumed). besides, gatherer-hunter societies have existed for the duration of history and nonetheless vestiges proceed to be. The Bushmen of the Kalihari are a significant occasion (Australian aboriginals too). it is debated in recent times although if those historic societies can quite be defined as gatherer-hunter... females in those societies had extra potential than in the different society. females in agrarian societies (occasion: Afghanistan) have the smallest quantity of potential. you certainly could desire to look into this your self - explaining all of it is a lot previous the scope of Yahoo G&WS. FYI: right that's a itemizing of the breakdowns of societies studied via anthropologists (and sociologists): - 'hunter-gatherer' - horticultural - fishing - herding - agrarian - business - placed up-business Did I omit any? that's amazingly exciting stuff: it is wise of each and every thing. perform a little analyzing, you would be happy you probably did.

Look, just because God may have pulled a rib out doesn't mean that genetically speaking others wouldn't have a rib.
Just because I had my tounsils removed doesn't mean if I have a kid it would be removed too.
Though I do have to wonder, why a rib? Is this a symbolism thing?

If God took out one of Adam's ribs, He would have made Eve with whatever number of ribs Adam had left, so they then had the same skeletal makeup. All their offspring have that same number of ribs. Men are not walking around with one less rib!

Taking a rib from a person will not change their genetics. You would not expect an amputee to have a legless child.
