the background ..
in the beginning there was NOTHING - butt in all that nothingness - god had been cavorting with all his angels since eternity ..
then one day god got bored with all that cavorting - so he made the earth , heavens, seas, sun moon blah blah .. and the animals ..
all the animals had mates and they were having great fun copulating and breeding (especially the rabbits)..
then god thought he would make man - in his own image .. and with the wave of his magic wand - there is adam
anyway, adam is alone, and just wanders around in the garden (probably jealous of all the copulating rabbits) .. lucky for adam, that god notices that adam is a bit lonely and thinks that adam should also have a mate ..
so god takes one of adam's rib bones and makes eve from the rib bone .. and all from chapter 2 of genesis .. with relevant versus
22.. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23.. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24.. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
one assumes that adam learned all about boners , women and the pleasures of the flesh ... just like the copulating rabbits ..
obviously the all knowing god was on a bit of a learning curve ... anyway, it was not all going as planned - so one day god thought he would just destroy everything in a flood ..
the creation story of the good book, is no different to creation stories from peoples all around the world
