And my question(s):

Why do men and women have the same number of ribs if you stole one from Adam to make Eve?

The Bible's Book of Genesis (2:21, 22) says God created the first woman this way: “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam [the first man], and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in stead thereof. And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman …”

Some people think that this passage implies that because the first man lost his rib, all men since have one fewer rib (they are wrong). The best way to test this belief is to compare a male's skeleton with a female's. When you do this, you find that men and women have 12 pairs of ribs each.

The belief that a lost rib, or a cut-off thumb, or a chopped-off tail, could pass from parent to child was a theory, long-discredited, derived from the ideas of French biologist Lamarck. Generations of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian males have circumcised their sons, but they never give birth to already circumcised sons. For centuries some breeds of dogs have had their tails cropped, but they don't give birth to pups with their tails docked already. If you have to have a finger or toe amputated, it would not mean you would produce children with a finger or toe missing. Likewise, if a human baby is born with a tail, it does not imply they evolved from monkeys.

So a rib taken from Adam does not mean that any of his sons and daughters would have a rib missing. Men and women have the same number of ribs.

Or:

If you made Adam & Eve first, and they had three sons Cain, Abel & Seth, what happened next? There's 4 men and 1 woman, right? What happened next to propagate the species? Who did the children marry? Who did they procreate with? Isn't incest bad?

Cain and Abel were not the only children of Adam and Eve, even though many people think so.

Genesis 5:4 says Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters, and Jewish tradition teaches they had 33 sons and 23 daughters. Adam lived 930 years, so he and Eve had plenty of time to have 56 children!

To get the population started, of course, at least one of Adam and Eve's sons had to marry one of the daughters. It is likely that in the first generation all marriages were between brother and sister. Living so close to the time of the perfect creation, no genetic problems would have developed yet, so no harm would have come from such close marriages.

By the time of Moses, 2600 years later, many biological problems had accumulated, which made marriage between close relatives dangerous, so laws were given against it and are still in place today.

We are not told how old Cain was when he went out to build his city (Genesis 4:17). But Bible commentators have estimated that at least 120,000 people could have been alive on earth within only a few hundred years. So Cain probably had quite a lot of women to choose from for a wife.

If he married early in his life, his wife would have been his sister. If he married late, it could have been one of his countless relatives.

Just a few off of the top of my head. The answer to any of these from God would be fine, I'm really not bothered which one.

Hope that helps.

I'd ask: "Why do so many people believe you actually exist, and kill others who don't believe the same?"

You can write the second part again... It's amazing how "so called" religious folk kill and do so many awful things in the name of God. What makes others believe that their particular "religious discipline” or “practice” is any better than anyone else’s?

Ive always wondered how God comes up with soooo many different faces, in other words the way people look...I feel like everybody has a Japanese or Indian twin..basically someone you will never bump into in their lifetime...So my question would be...Do i have a twin in the world??????
