There has always been a debate about the creation of male and female. As the book of Genesis describes the creation of humans in two different chapters, few say that the female was created two times. First time, as if God created Male and Female separately and then, He found that they run into problems of Ego and so, He just took off the female and He created a female again from Adam’s rib bone so that the female becomes a part of male which led him to say that she is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.
In my opinion, this is a very naive observation.
When The Bible describes the creation, in the first chapter of Genesis, it gives a synopsis of creation without much details of creation. But, in the second chapter, it literally describes the creation in detail. For example, how the plants were created. It says that the Lord watered the whole face of the ground, then the plants sprouted.
Genesis 2:5-6 (NKJV)
5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
In the same way, instead of saying God created them male and female, The Bible describes the way He created Man that He formed man out of the dust of the ground, then breathed the breath of life into his nostrils and then man became a living being.
Genesis 2:7 (NKJV)
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Then, He goes on to describe how He made a dwelling place for the man He created. The Bible says that He planted a garden eastward in Eden. After He made arrangements for his stay, The Bible describes how God made arrangements for His provision ie., Food (plants), Water (rivers, not river!) and a currency (Gold). Moreover, The Bible also describes how God got him a job !!! Usually Christians think that Mr. Adam was just roaming around the Garden of Eden. Never.
Genesis 2:15 (NKJV)
15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
Mr. Adam certainly had the job of maintaining the whole Garden of Eden. Scholars have a possible former location of the garden somewhere covering the countries like Iran, Iraq where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers run into the sea.
And in the same way, The Bible also describes in detail how God made a companion for Adam, a female.
Genesis 2:21-22 (NKJV)
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
While describing how female was created, The Bible specifically says that a rib bone was taken out of male and God made it into a woman. It is as simple as it is !!!
Now, there is a wrong notion about the rib taken out of Adam and so, I have written an article (Human ribs) regarding that too. Click here.
