“Why did God create Adam from sand and use Adam’s rib to create Eve when he created the whole universe from nothing? “

Because the chimpanzees were too busy thrashing Samsonite suitcases to be bothered with being participants in some evolutionary scheme.

Why don’t you ask God that question?

A partial answer to the question might be that since man is composed of matter and spirit, it was fitting that his body was formed from pre-existing matter. That Eve was generated from Adam’s rib, aka X-chromosome, was something He told us about, but it took us 6,000 years to understand what was being said.

So you are willing to admit that some of this is a metaphorical account written in a way to describe it to people who didn't have the scientific capacity to understand concepts we recognize today?

Your friends, the IDers say, there has been no response from God in the last few hundred million years and thus God must be dead.

The male’s rib has no Y chromosome?
