Adam a hermaphrodite

[Erik Nelson]

there is apparently some very rare condition where men lack one rib on one side, which may have given rise to the notion of Eve coming from one of Adam's ribs

And there's apparently a rare situation in the animal world where some can actually walk on water, which may have given rise to the notion of Jesus having done so? (J/k of course, but forgiveness be me, it's the same sort of reasoning)

But seriously, Adam was not told to procreate before there was Eve. There's no need to assume anything about his sexual organs at all. And if Adam and Eve were some kind of conjoined creature, how could separating them provide Adam with a companion in Eve that he would not have had before? Such kinds of speculation just don't make sense.

right, plus the first "no good" in Scripture is when God sees Adam is alone.

Talking biologically, so the proper word is sex, not gender. Sorry for the pickiness. Too much sugar consumption and critiquing of fellow writers' stories today.
