Question:
Does a man have one less rib than a woman?
Answer:
Genesis 2:21-23 says, “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; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” This is the first surgery that ever took place, and it was performed by the Great Physician.
