God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft ...
before the masterpiece

No, even Adam was perfect as God created him.
But in the heat of arguement, I have used it, along with, "do you want your rib back?"

Sounds rather feministic. Although, I would agree, that after 21 years of marriage, God truly did make a masterpiece.
The Biblical truth is, that God does not make a rough draft - He has a plan and a design and He creates.
When God made man and woman, the two reveal the image of God. The attributes of a man and of a woman by themselves are good, but together, reveal the image of God.
I am not without my sense of humor - this is a cute saying.

Ha ha,
Its amazing how much intellect can come from a spare rib.
How droll.
No dude, Adam and Eve story is a metaphor for soul splitting into masculine and femine parts. Thats why all Gods are shown as hermaphrodites in ancient art: In old Judaism, demigods (angels) were depicted as being hermaphordite (both male and female as one). That is the eventual outcome for those whom find salvation: They are joined with their soul mate (who is not necessarily the earthly husband) and become one.
Check out the NT:
Mark 1225 "For they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but they are as the angels which are in heaven."
Jesus said: The dead are not alive, and the living will not die. During the days when you ate what is dead, you made it come alive. When you are in the light, what will you do? On the day when you were one, you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."

No. All of God's designs are perfect and he created man and woman to complete and compliment each other.

First I'll pray for your friend. I'm guessing it was a serious prayer request that got edited out. May God bless Rich, and draw him to himself!
Secondly, I would rephrase your statement....
Men are made of dust.
Women are not!

Well , absolutely yes yes yes, and all I can say is this:
Amen, and you go girl.
But we are to complete each other, a husband and a wife, three as one, husband, wife and God.
One isnt better than the other, but we just completed the man, as he is to complete is , all in Christ.
But you go girl with your spunkiness. I love it. You prove that Chrsitains do have a sense of humor. YEP.

Since we love women, we can only agree. There is another one: God said to Adam that in exchange for his lung and a leg, he would get a woman that would take care of his meals, his laundry, care for his children, cherish him, comfort him, etc. Adam asked what can I get in exchange for a rib?

You mean the crowning act of Creation? I've heard that before.
Now hear this: God created the world and He rested. He created the man and He rested. Then He created the woman and since then neither God nor man has rested!:-)
