And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from the man, made He a woman.

Do Orthodox religious Jews or faithful Christians or Muslims 

really believe the first human female was created from a rib of a human male?

The choice of whether to translate the bible literally or medaphorical is the choice of every individual, but gods word is so pure and intellegent that intellegent people will take away the same meaning of the text. Whether the seperation of adam and eve into one man and woman ever actually happened or not the point of the story is that man and woman need to join together in body ans soul to be complete, for the record i beleive it did physically happen.

That is possible, as in 'taking a piece of man' to create women, as in molecular DNA...

 

However let us understand that men of today are genetic composites of both father and mother....and women the same....

 We have tended to polarize this issue.

I prefer my ribs with BBQ sauce. Most of twitter says I'm a misogynist.

Very interesting -- mitochondrial DNA of 200,000 years ago (the first woman = Eve) vs. the Y chromosome of 60,000 years past (the first man = Adam).  I'm not saying here that you're entirely wrong; I, too,  believe there was one original ancestor of each sex, but are you   espousing that Eve lived for 140,000 years before she met Adam, or did she and her female descendants mate with whatever male happened to be handy at the time ("great apes" of some lineage?)?  I think not on both counts.  I just believe science has yet to find all the answers to prove they both lived at the same time.

Actually if you look deeper, Eve was not the first female. The first female was named Lillith and she was cast out of paradise for arguing with Adam. God then made Eve out of Adam's rib to be subservient to him. However, I don't believe any of it. I'm wiccan. But it's interesting to see what others say.

I want to know God's thoughts...the rest are details

  Due to very poor translating of biblcal languages into English. Take the creation of Adam.  It wasn't a rib.  God did not take a rib from Adam to build a women.  What He did take will fill you with wonderment at the very genius of God.  If He had taken a rib from Adam, would see the Hebrew equivalent of the chaldee "ala" used in Danial to described a proper, anatomical rib.  But that word is not used, instead we see the Hebrew word " tsela",  which means hollow angular vault.  This word " tsels", is used for the "side rooms" in the millenial temple or "angle cell", these side rooms were "a hollow, angular vault, chamber. these are by no means ribs.  God took a side room from Adam.  He removed an angular cell, a hollow,an angular vault, a chamber but not a rib "ala".  

The structure being described, that was taken from Adam was a human uterus, otherwise known as a womb.  Great God, an  angular hollow chamber, tapering at the end.  The exclusive property of the female sex. Could this be what God took from Adam to create women.  Before Eve was created there was on mate among all the creatures for Adam.  In other words, Adam had no completement.  At this time, Adam was complete in himself.  Yes, He contained both sexes. In short he had it all!!   A complement is "That which fills a lack".  Before Adam could enjoy a filling, he had to know a lack. God provided this by removing the one organ that made Adam all in himself.  In women, man finds what he is not, she is his complement and they come together with " FIRERWORKS"

We can see the absurdity of the word rib.  And, in the marriagr embrace, we see clearly what man does long for,  thus, the two shall be one flesh. A blessed parallel !! The union of the man and wife gives a picture of Christ and the ecclesia which is His body.  The body of Christ is referred to as " the compliment of the One completing the all in all"  Till death do us part.   If  woman could realize that her husband can't get excited over a flower show. and if man would stop expecting his wife to go goo-goo over poker night, couples every where would treat there kitchen tables better.  There are a zillion marriage books telling you how to chance for your spouse.  There one out there about a frog that becomes a prince. Forget the books.  Men and women are different by design.  Marital happiness it's about changing people.  It's about grace exercising on a field of imperfection.      See for yourself,  in Gen chapter 2, God "closed the flesh under it.  On the male anatomy, gentlemen, at about where the tape measure stops when we measure our inseam, there is what appears to be a suture, a siighty raised line of overlapping skin running front front to back, dead c
