I believe that it is hugely significant that the Bible describes the creation of the first man and his wife as it does.
God created Adam. And from Adam's living body he extracted a rib and built from that living material his wife - Eve.
This simple picture I think is a window in the very meaning of human life and purpose. I regard the Apostle Paul as having much spiritual insight into why God made the first husband and wife in this.
By the way, the Bible says God THEIR name - Adam.
Genesis 5:1-2
" . . . When God created Adam, He made him in the likeness of God. Male and female He created them, and He blessed them and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."
@sonship saidActually, we evolved as a species. I'm sure I sent you the memo.

@divegeester saidNo one said you have to ride.
I feel like I’m waiting for a bus and I know when it comes there will be several...all at the same time.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidReally? John said he saw a multitude that no one could possibly number rejoicing in God's salvation. I'm just a little pointer to where you can ride if you wish.
Your buses don't stop for passengers.
I think some got on.

@sonship saidWhat?
@divegeesterJesus came out of the Godhead as the word
The ground came out of Jesus in creation
Adam came out of the ground of creation
Eve came out of Adam
Cain came out of Eve, as did the rest of mankind
Why so wild?
Do you just want to throw dust up into the air?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou need to keep abreast with developing science ghostly fellow.

They're now saying that the universe may be infinite. The inference being that the science of evolution doesn't fit with an infinite universe.
Don't ask me how that is.
