honestly though, it doesnt mean that eve has 2 dads... 1st of all there is only one man meaning there can't be 2 dads...if there is then there should be 2 men...but eve only was made by adam's ribs not by adam producing eve. the way god puts it is different. eve is not made of adam's feet to be stepped on nor was made from adam's head to be higher than adam. but eve was made below the arm for adam to hold and protect eve.

First of all, God isnt to be toyed with...
Secondly, if you were to read a book, like many Atheist like to tell Christians, then you would know that the word woman means from man.
Third, God did this because he wanted Adam to have someone of his own flesh, someone like him. Yes God, could have made Eve in the same manner as which He created Adam, but He didnt. Time is never a factor for God.

Why do you care so much anyways, you cant find your 'Eve'???

Hostile?

Ro said: "Secondly, if you were to read a book, like many Atheist like to tell Christians, then you would know that the word woman means from man. "

Ro, what books have you been reading? The word "Woman" comes from the Old English word "wyfman" meaning "female human." In Old English, the word "man" _only_ referred to human beings regardless of age or gender. The word "werman" was used to refer to a "male human."

It wasn't until Middle English that the "wer" was dropped from the word for a male and asymetry of the word "man" referring to both a male human and humans in general began. In any case, the word is _not_ Biblical in origin and has nothing to do with Genesis 2..

Ro said: "Third, God did this because he wanted Adam to have someone of his own flesh, someone like him. "

Actually, all of the answers for why that reference clinging to the male, the marriage bond and such actually lends more credence to the idea that this whole explanation is symbolic. These arguments show it to be a part of the Hebrew oral tradition to explain the bond between a husband and a wife--to explain the modern day with an origin story.

The truth of the matter is even if it was designed to explain the marriage bond, it has been used to justify all maner of misogyny as well.

Finally, Ro said: "Why do you care so much anyways, you cant find your 'Eve'???"

Was a personal attack like that really necessary?

In the creation of woman, God did not make her separate and distinct from man by forming her from the dust of the ground, as he had done in the creation of Adam. He took a rib from Adam’s side, and from it He built for Adam a perfect counterpart, the woman Eve. (Ge 2:21, 22) Adam, nevertheless, remained a perfect man, now united as ‘bone of bone and flesh of flesh’ with his wife. (Ge 2:23; De 32:4)

First, God did not "poof" Adam into existence. He formed man out of the dirt - right down to the very DNA itself! Then He breathed into Adam the breath of life, and Adam became a living soul.

God used Adam's rib the same way that you may take oil and refine it for one purpose, then take the refined oil, and refine it again for a greater purpose (or refined sugar, etc.)

God used Adam's rib also to demonstrate something very vital. (All you female chauvinists, listen up here and pay attention). God did NOT create Eve from Adam's head, for her to lord it over him, nor did He create Eve from Adam's feet for him to walk all over her. Rather, God created Eve from his rib, from beside his heart, a vital co-existence of love and mutual trust, to walk along beside and share equally together. Furthermore, Adam would be incomplete without Eve at his side. (Sadly, sin has messed all this up. Heaven will restore this, though - for those who repent of their sins and put their faith in Jesus.)

Eve was to come from beside the very HEART of Adam, not another new creation, but "bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh."

Well some say it was because he made Adam a wife before eve in the same way he made Adam and she would not do what Adam told her saying she was his equal. She ran away mated with a demon and spawned the race of demons know as indui and succubi. Her name was Lilith

Well, according to some of the older stories, Eve was the third attempt at Woman. The first, Lilith, wanted equal standing with Adam, and was cast out. The second, who never got a name, was created in front of him, and he was sickened by the process of seeing all the entrails and so forth appearing out of nowhere.

And Jehovah God proceeded to build the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and to bring her to the man.

23 Then the man said:
“This is at last bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh.
This one will be called Woman,
Because from man this one was taken.”

24 That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh. 25 And both of them continued to be naked, the man and his wife, and yet they did not become ashamed.
Genesis 2:22-24
he could've and can do WHATEVER he wants, it was meant to show how man and woman are to become one. they are different but the same, human. and tricks are from SATAN NOT GOD, silly rabbit,lol

Really, you're not gonna get any answer that is original...It's gonna be sarcastic in nature, completely retarded, or quoted from some book.....Some things cannot be proven real, scientifically challenged....and quite honestly....I think you'll find yourself in a very tough position that when all is said and done, you still won't have your answer!

Blessed Be,

The people that wrote that myth wrote it that way to explain why they felt women should be subservient and inferior to men.

I mean, if I was going to make up my own god, and religion, I'd probably throw in a few bonuses like that, too.
