Didn't god make Eve from Adams rib? Does that not sound like he cloned Eve?

He used Adam's DNA to create Eve.

A clone does NOT come from a uterus.

I say no.
In the original manuscripts, the word 'rib' actually translates to the word 'curve' and biblical scholars view this as an allusion to the helix curve of DNA.

A clone is an exact genetic duplicate of the donor. Since Eve didn't look like Adam, and since she was a different sex, this conclusively rules out the possibility that Eve was a clone.
I think it would be more accurate to state that God took some of Adam's genetic material and changed and added to it, thus creating Eve.
p.s. -- nowadays, clones DO require a uterus to grow. Of course, God can accomplish anything He wants, uterus or not.
EDIT: Az, the Hebrew word used there, tseleh, means "side," although it is also a euphemism for "rib." It does not mean "curve." The DNA reference would be interesting in this context, but that's not what the word implies.

No, It sounds to me like a miracle because no one had Adam or Eve, God just made them A clone comes from a uterus.

A clone is an" EXACT" genetic copy-Adam was male and Eve was Female therefore Eve could not have been a clone of Adam.

No, cause the all there children would be clones also because they came from part of each of them.
We all come from a part of our parents one way or the other. That does not makes up clones
But if you think about it Adam and Eve would be brother and sister.

No, Eve wasn't a clone, Adam was made from dirt, does that make Adam a clone of dirt? No, Eve was 100% her own person. don't forget to eat your buttered toast today.

No....
It sounds like God's chosen method for creating her......
Please don't try to justify cloning with that one
