I've often wondered about this!!

Why would you wonder? Clearly it's just a story.

It is not meant to be taken literally!!!

If one of Adam's Ribs was taken to be used as the basis for
Eve, wouldn't this mean that Men should have an odd number
of Ribs whereas Women should have an even number of Ribs??

It would mean that Adam had an odd number of ribs. No reason
his descendants would too. (e.g. You lost an hand but you can
still sire two-handed children. Same thing applies here.)

OTOH some people think the rib thing is a mistranslation.
According to them, the original Hebrew really says God cut
open Adam’s side and pulled Eve out of the slit.

OT*O*OH the whole story isn’t literally true anyway.

Unless they had said mankind was created from the bone of Adam...

Atheism is #fakenews.

So, you believe in a story that says women were created from a
bone taken out of the side of a man? Really?

Plus, if Eve was created from one of Adam's ribs, when they
mated and had children that would be incest. Plus, one of their
sons murdered another one of their sons, so if your story book
was taken literally means we'd all be descended from an in-bred
murderer! What a great start for humanity!

I reckon there must have been a bit of inbreeding among the
Yadallees over the years for you to have such simple beliefs.
Most people know that sort of thing causes mental weaknesses,
so it would explain a lot...

Therefore they had the same DNA.
Therefore they were the same gender.
So Eve quietly transitioned?

The Bible doesn't say rib, it says SIDE. Eve was made from the side of
Adam because Adam was parted in two to make Eve. Originally Adam and Eve
were one. Read Aristophanes' speech in Plato's Symposium which makes the origin of the Bible story clear especially when Socrates cites the
original source.

Even if Plato and/or Aristophanes knew about the Genesis story,
it doesn’t make their fanfic part of the Biblical canon.

The Bible was written AFTER Plato's Symposium took place. The story
already existed in Athens in 416 BC before Genesis was even composed.
Socrates knew of the story from an old woman he met decades earlier so
we can assume it was doing the rounds since at least 450 BC

And it definitely doesn’t make it biological fact.

And neither is a Time Lord changing gender during regeneration.

#fakenews pretty covers everything in silly religions.

Not sure incest is true in the case of clones. :-)

Plus, one of their sons murdered another one of their sons, so if your
story book was taken literally means we'd all be descended from an
in-bred murderer! What a great start for humanity!

Plus those sons supposedly married women, but where did those women
come from? Since Adam and Eve were supposedly the first humans beings,
those women would have to be Adma and Eve's daughters, but Adma and Eve
didn't have any daughters ... and if they di have unmentioned
daughters, then their sons marriages and kids would be incest. There
are then similar problems with Noah after the flood supposedly wiped
out everyone else.

Just one of the many many many many inane stupidities of the Bible, and religions in general that the blinkered "believers" simply ignore
without question.

It's simply a load of idiotic fictional stories, no more true than
Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Doctor Who. :-\

If Jenny is the Doctor’s daughter, then Eve is Adam’s!

I don't know what the legalities are. Since clones do not really exist (outside sheep, etc.), such things probably haven't even been thought
about legally yet.

Plus those sons supposedly married women, but where did those women
come from?

They must’ve asked God to do the clone trick for them too!

Some places say those women came from outside the Garden of Eden ...
which simply changes the nonsense to 'prove' that Adam and Eve were not actually the only humans around.

Some places say that the Garden of Eden was simply a small area where
nobody lived until Adam 'appeared' there.
