Why did God carry out modern day surgery on Adam to Create Eve?

Why did God carry out a modern day surgery on Adam to Create Eve when He could have just made Eve from the dust of the ground like He did with Adam?

The medical procedure is clear. Let's look at it step by step:

Genesis 2:21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

First, God caused Adam to go into a DEEP SLEEP. Why a deep sleep which in Hebrew also means a trance like state? Why not just put Adam to sleep, why a DEEP SLEEP?

This is the first step of any surgery. We're all familiar with:

Anesthesia is a medical treatment that prevents patients from feeling pain during procedures like surgery, certain screening and diagnostic tests, tissue sample removal (e.g., skin biopsies), and dental work. It allows people to have procedures that lead to healthier and longer lives.

Secondly, he took out one of his ribs. Now, why did God have to cause Adam to go into a deep sleep to take out one of Adam's ribs? The answer is He didn't. He did this for our benefit. This is important for the end times. We live in a period where we know what this procedure is. The Bible is the Word of God.

Why the rib though? There's a couple of important reasons and one has to do with the woman's seed which is Jesus but also mitochondria DNA. This is why Jesus had to be born of a virgin. Mitochondria DNA is mostly passed down through the Mothers line. I will get into this later. First, here's more about Adam's rib and stem cells.

Adam's rib and the origin of stem cells†

In the first book of the Bible, God fashions a woman from one of Adam's ribs: “while Adam was sleeping, … [he] took one of the ribs… and the rib taken from man… made a woman” (Genesis 2:21–22). Were stem cells present at this ancient origin point, in Adam's rib?

The recent discovery of stem cells in bone marrow and their therapeutic application in stem cells regenerative medicine would support the hypothesis that the development of science represents a quite predictable phenomenon proceeding from the potency of Adam's rib. Likewise, the biomedical research appears to represent a continuous discovery of historical and prehistorical milestones.

The rib, in particular, represents an anatomic type of long bone with a wide, spongious component rich in hematopoietic bone marrow, containing multipotent, pluripotent, and unipotent stem cells [ 3]. Totipotent so far have not been identified in bone marrow. As with the making of new life from Adam's rib, new tissues and organs are now being made in both experimental and clinical work by using hematopoietic bone marrow from cell cultures.

Given this creation of new tissues and organs via hematopoietic bone marrow, the question arises about the implication of these observations for science. Carefully reading Genesis 2 [ 4], one is impressed by the fact that man and woman originated via two different modalities: Man “from the dust of the ground, [God] breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7); Woman “from the rib taken from [from] man [Adam]” while he was sleeping (Genesis 2:21–22).

The analogy between Adam's sleep and anaesthesia (as in surgical procedures, for bone marrow transplantation) is striking. Also striking, is that the two events—the origin of man and of woman—are not comparable. Adam's origin is not discussed at present, as nowadays, it seems to belong to the sphere of divinity and as such is inaccessible to scientific knowledge, whereas woman's origin is a suitable subject for science.

So this looks like genetic engineering to Create Eve from Adam. Again, God did this for our benefit so we would recognize the procedure today. This also goes to Mitochondria DNA. Here's more:

A key role for mitochondria in stem cells is indicated by reports that they translocate in the oocyte during fertilisation to cluster around the pronuclei and can remain in a perinuclear pattern during embryo development. This clustering appears to be essential for normal embryonic development.

Why is mitochondria important in stem cells?

Mitochondrial control of redox and calcium balance in stem cell homeostasis. Mitochondria play a critical role in the balance between cell survival and cell death. These mechanisms are at the bases of cellular homeostasis and regulate the potential outcomes in response to environmental cues.

Think about this.

Mitochondria(the Woman's seed) is the power plant of the cell.

Mitochondria are unusual organelles. They act as the power plants of the cell, are surrounded by two membranes, and have their own genome. They also divide independently of the cell in which they reside, meaning mitochondrial replication is not coupled to cell division.

The inner membrane is also loaded with proteins involved in electron transport and ATP synthesis.

ATP provides energy to cells!

God knew when He Created the Garden and Adam and Eve what would happen. So He Created a way through the Woman's seed for Christ to be born of a virgin. Sin isn't just about this act or that act. Our very nature(DNA) was corrupted by sin.

So Christ had to be born of a virgin because sin came through Adam's line. So God didn't just give us a way to correct the situation, He loved us so much, He gave us His only Begotten Son to take on the sins of the world in this new body that wasn't corrupted by Adam's sin and it was resurrected incorruptible in a spiritual body. Now when we're born again, at the Ressurrection we will be transformed into this new Body of Christ.

That's not it!

Finally, it says:

After God did this, He CLOSED UP THE FLESH THEREOF! AMAZING!

Why would God close up the flesh? He did this for our benefit so we would recognize the procedure today. You can watch any modern day medical drama and after surgery they say let's close him or her up!

God didn't have to do this. He could have Created Eve from the dust of the ground as He did with Adam.

God is revealing these things in these last days. He wants non believers to come to Christ before the fulness of the Gentiles occurs. The Bible says:

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Cloning humans isn't a modern medical procedure, or at least the science is more "modern" than where we are. The term for that is "science fiction".

God knew when He Created the Garden and Adam and Eve what would happen. So He Created a way through the Woman's seed for Christ to be born of a virgin. Sin isn't just about this act or that act. Our very nature(DNA) was corrupted by sin.

So free will is a lie and evil is in our DNA.

How was Jesus born of a virgin if he had an elder sibling called James?

Because, if HE did that, man and woman would be equals, and we can't have that!

Well, the creation story of Adam and Eve is where they were both created by God, as you stated. Adam from dust and Eve from cloaning of Adam. Now, how exactly if all humans are decended of those first two is Mary not of the line of Adam and therefore as much a sinner as Joseph?

Eve committed the first sin by eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Yes, she was talked into it, but then she talked Abam into eating the fruit also.

Because man was destined to have things taken from him and women were destined to expect freebies.

Also, Mitochondrial DNA is passed down thru the mother's line, yet the Bible focuses on Jesus descending from the line of David and other patriarchal figures... the father's line is the focus, not the mother's.

What's more of a puzzle to me than genetic engineering, is OP literally finding out that humans may have been modified by beings who needed to do surgery, yet still thinks that an omnipotent and omniscient being is responsible.

Surely at this point it becomes clear that all religion is based on real beings, more advanced than us who the humans considered gods, rather than an actual sky magician.

The whole behaviour of said 'god' in the bible screams conqueror rather than a wise being beyond all human traits.

It is believed by some scholars that the genealogy in Matthew is the Joseph's line, and the genealogy in Luke is Mary's line, so it may be that both are covered in the new testament.

Jesus wasn't conceived the normal way like James was. Mary had a miraculous impregnation from God.

Is this a serious question? Joseph was married with children prior to his marriage with Mary. His first wife died at the age of 80. So Jesus’s half siblings have nothing to do with Mary’s virginity.

How was James older? Matthew says that Joseph was not with Mary until after Jesus was born?

The popular narrative would also have you believe it was a consentual arrangement.

Of "Adam's Rib" refers to the fact that Eve's mother (a descendant of the previous civilization hence making her the Mother of modern civilization) and Adam's wife, died in childbirth and that Adam was forced to take Eve as his wife to repopulate, hence, Eve "being of Adam's Rib". The original interpretations were based on incorrect translations.

Odd thing in the bible.
1 god made adam and eve!!!
2 then god made adam then with spicy rib made eve????
just a little odd!
go read it...

God is revealing these things in these last days. He wants non believers to come to Christ before the fulness of the Gentiles occurs. The Bible says:

Well, I must say that as a ''non-believer'' this bit of nonsense is not going to sway me over to the Jesus cult one iota. God's gonna have to offer a bit more than reconfigured Adam and Eve baloney to get me to believe.

However, virgin Mary went to stay with her kinswoman Elizabeth, wife of Zachariah while Elizabeth was pregnant to be there to help her through the pregnancy. Then, out of the blue, Mary leaves the house of Zachariah just prior to Elizabeth's giving birth. What's that all about? Cutting out when she is most needed.

Easy answer there, old Zachy got himself a taste of that virgin Mary and when cousin Liz found it it was ''outta my house you byatch''.

PS. Oh yeah, I forgot. That would make Jesus and John the Baptist brothers, hence the semi-rivalry between the two.

skeletons of dead men-women had different rib counts so a story of explanation was fashioned


the real Q is why the Deity civilization needed to create a new line of humans in a world full of homo erectus, Neanderthal, sapiens, et al

Wow! That is a very unique theory. Can you reference me the part where it indicates that Mary left under unusual circumstances thus leading to your suspicions? It’s my understanding but I could be wrong, that it would have been tabu in Jewish culture for her to have stayed until the actual birth. Blood being unclean and all that. Even if it were the case that she left prematurely, did you have anything else to suggest conflict within the home, let alone infidelity? I’m not sure your theory could be considered anything more than conjecture at best. Another theory is that she could have remembered leaving the garage door open and had to go back home and shut it. Based on all evidence provided in the text, that theory could be equally valid. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you don’t want to believe something that’s fine, but just gets kinda silly when we make up arguments against the text that don’t even exist.
