Why did he need to steal one of Adam's ribs to create Eve?
Couldn't he have just used more dirt?
Or did he run out of spare parts?

First of all, he did not steal Adam's rib.
He used it to create Eve, because he wanted to create a companion for Adam that would come from his own body. They were one, and which is why a man and wife become one.
Yes, he could have used more dirt... he could have use anything he wanted to. But it would defeat the purpose. They wouldn't be one, if he used something that was not from Adam.
he could have also used a leg, or arm.... but did you that your ribs will grow back? your bone will self generate. which is why he probably used a rib.

God created some people from dirt and others from the spirit. Check Genesis, there are two different creations of man. One was of god and one came from the earth and the one from the earth was to serve the one from the spirit. read carefully. maybe you should look into Enlil and Enki and the Nephalim. The original Adam and Eve, created in the garden. They created the man of earth and procreated. The Nephalim came from some other place. read Drunvalo Mechizedek's Flower of Life

God can do all things. He created Eve the way He did because he must a saw that this was the best way. Apparently, He knows what He's doing. Now, really, God created the entire universe. Do you really think it would be possible for Him to run out of anything?

On the rare possibility your question is serious, the answer is:
He did not need to 'steal'.
He could have used more dirt.
The problem with using more dirt is you would now be asking why didn"t God 'steal' a rib!?

Evidently you are unaware of biblical types and prophetic actions. But Adam in many cases is a type of Christ, and Eve, a type of the church. Do you remember that Christ was speared in the side when he was crucified by the God haters?

What happened was, he took one of look at this man he had made and thought, I can do matter than that...so he made woman...since he didn't want to waste the parts he had already made,,,he decided to just use a part from Adam..So now without a woman to tell him what to do,,man is incomplete,,,because she's got a part of him....

You have to remember that the Bible was written at a time and in a place that was male dominated. Women were little more than property. If woman were made totally of clay as the man was that would have made her his equal. The authors of the Bible couldn't have that, now, could they.

God doesn't steal and He created Eve from Adam's side to be his equel not his footstool. And your humour of God shows only your foolishness..

You could be doing things that are so much more fulfilling and worthwhile with your time.
Proverbs 1:22 -- How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
open_eyes, feeling inferior much? If that's an example of how you interpret everything in the Bible, no wonder you don't get it.
