The Creation account is one of the Books that need a lot of faith and humility , to accept…I have often wondered if many , ‘wise in the world’ have found that account difficult to believe and hence lost love for The Word …and how showing the truth in it can be verey good …
Many of us probably are familiar with a program, run by supposedly reputed scientists ,that has shown solid proof for the truth behind every word in the Creation account, in that order and how the fall and the flood explains so much .( www.creationevidence.org- noncathlolic, so unsure if everything is o.k…)
Coming to the RIB, mentioned , in Gen. I have oten wondered if the rib is actually a big central chunk -we know how the bottom ribs are ‘floating’ -do not reach the sternum - a piece like a dove could have been removed 🙂
Now , someone was saying , even when we accept the now even sceince proven theory of Adam and Eve as the parents of the human race , how about their children …how the possibility of incest among children of Adam , for continuation of the race is repulsive for many
Enter the rib/cloning possibility( again,submit this only if in accord with The Church’s teaching )- could Adam’s children have been given husbands/ wives , that are 'cloned ’ - and blesssed , since it would been by God …like the way Eve was made …
 
I do know that the rib is the only bone in the body that grows back, hence removing one would not have caused any long term damage to Adam. Hence, it was the perfect bone to remove.

since when? I know in sheep that they do not- I assumed the same for people?!?
 
Thanks , that is good to know …

Well, may be being around halloween, this uneasy possibility also came to mind - since through the original sin , Adam and Eve had handed over domain, to the enemy, could he have been the agent of 'helping 'Adam and Eve to bring mates for their children …
Well, even so, it only would make us appreciate all the more the Mercy of The Father , - in the Immaculate conception, Incarnation , redemption …
O Mary concieved without sin , pray for us …
Come O Holy spirit, come and fill us and the whole word …
A Blessed all saints and All souls day !
