God Takes Rib From Adam To Form Eve in Genesis 2
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 [h]made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called [i]Woman,
Because she was taken out of [j]Man.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be[k] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Conclusion: Do Men Have Fewer Ribs Than Women?
Scientifically and Biblically, men and women have the same number of ribs today. Extraction of a rib from Adam does not mean the removal of a rib from all men following Adam. Only a genetic change would warrant that assumption, and according to the Biblical text, it was a surgical extraction, and x-rays of 24 ribs in both men and women prove this to be the case.
