Then you note the common misconception that, “When God created the first man, Adam, and brought to him the first woman, Eve, He joined them together in marriage and pronounced it ‘very good’” …

 

Well, truth be told, the ancient Hebrew word commonly translated as “helper” in Genesis 2:18 is actually a masculine term – meaning that God originally wanted Adam to have a male companion, not a female one? … You might also be interested to know, at least according to the basic laws of genetics that God Himself established, that it was almost impossible for God to bring forth a male counterpart from Adam’s extracted rib?*

*Please NOTE:  While it would have been highly improbable to create a female human using male DNA, it would not have been fully impossible.  Aside from the fact that we were dealing with an almighty Being who could have done whatever He wished at the time (a most convenient caveat), it is hypothetically feasible for God to have somehow dropped Adam’s Y chromosome and replaced it with a duplicate of Adam’s original X chromosome, thereby effectively creating a female clone of Adam himself … In addition, another interesting scientific tidbit is the fact that the female hormone estrogen (C₁₈H₂₄O₂) has precisely one less “carbon rib” than the male hormone testosterone (C₁₉H₂₈O₂) – a convenient coincidence, in all likelihood, and yet a most intriguing coincidence at that …
