“First, just because God took a rib from Adam to make Eve would not mean that all of Adam's male descendants would have one less rib. Remember, it's our genes that determine how many ribs a person will have… Second, remember from your biology that ribs "regenerate." In other words, Adam would've had his missing rib back quite quickly.”
