Would you Adam and Eve it?

Well that is a very interesting find! I suppose it does make a bit of sense, but i doubt it will be taken seriously by the religious community at large.

 

Goofy.

The Book of Genesis is a poetic statement of truth, not a biology text. The point of the rib is that is at the man's side -- implying that, when the man and woman come together, they are joined there: side by side. Also, the idea is that the man senses in the woman that is him but not him, a commonality-with-difference. A man can see the rib in himself and in the woman, but a penis? It doesn't work.

 

I believe that eve was made from Adam rib.
And God said: ‘O Mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam) and from Him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women.’” (Quran 4:1)
The traditions of Prophet Muhammad relate that Eve was created while Adam was sleeping from his shortest left rib and that, after sometime, she was clothed with flesh. He (Prophet Muhammad) used the story of Eve’s creation from Adam’s rib as a basis for imploring people to be gentle and kind to women. “O Muslims! I advise you to be gentle with women, for they are created from a rib, and the most crooked portion of the rib is its upper part. If you try to straighten it, it will break, and if you leave it, it will remain crooked; so I urge you to take care of the women.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)

 

The book of Genesis? I bet.

 

Men also don't have a tail.

 

How has nobody made a joke about being joined at the hips yet :V

 

Women don't have a penis bone either. Before you say that women don't have a penis, other female species have a female equivalent of the penis bone, which human females also lack.

'refers to limbs sticking out sideways from an upright human body.’ could easily refer to a tail. Most animals with tails use it as an extra limb, for example to aid balance or to hang from branches. Penises are rarely used or described as limbs. Humans don't have penis bones, but they also don't have tails. If a human were to stand upright and have a tail, chances are it would stick out sideways just as much as a penis with a penis bone.

So, why pick penis bone when a tail seems just as likely an explanation?
