Was Eve really formed from Adam's rib?

[dio9]

The feminine principle did not come out of Adam's fib. The feminine principle in creation is found in all creatures which were created before Adam and Eve. It pre dates their creation.
Noah's story comes to mind here. In Noah's re-population of the earth after the flood God told Noah to take in pares of each kind of animal onto the ark, two by two, male an female. Before Adam , from the very beginning there was a feminine nature expressed in creation by the creator and resembling the creator. Even hermaphroditic worms have a male and female parts , .Flowers have male and female parts I dare say even hydrogen atoms have male and female parts. And that's the most basic element in the physical universe. If there is a creator he she it has to be the origin .

Shall we assume that the thread title the question for debate?

It might be best to specify in post the question for debate.

Just another daft Biblical story, which seeks to promote the idea that women are subservient to the male of the species.

I don't know what you mean by "The feminine principle " is refering to the human female EVE?

wrong word choice , should say female nature.
Point I'm trying to make is God has a female nature too. Like Tao , a yamg and yin necessarily working together and is thus expressed in the creation ,
I'm going on the thesis " we can know God by the things that he and she made. "
The ancients Orthodox said God had three personalities, I'm thinking God has two persons. And these are expressed in the whole universe , and biblically in Adam and Eve.whom are said to be the image of the creator.Furthermore no life can be made with out a he and a she element.

Yes I am afraid so, the patriarchal nature of Judeo-Christianity is well documented

So you don't believe Eve was a human being? (I'm asking about Eve, Im not asking about GOD)

never said Eve was not a human being . Genesis says to me God created them human , in God's own image Adam and Eve male and female.
Just saying she was created in Gods image not Adam's rib.

Just saying she was created in Gods image not Adam's rib.

Did Bible writers get it wrong about the rib?

Could it be that the tale is a myth rather than verbatim truth and accuracy?

Just saying she was created in Gods image not Adam's rib.

What is there about having her body created from Adam's rib that denies her spirit was created in the image of GOD???
