The myth of men having one less rib is certainly correlated to the myth the world is 6000 years old.
Show me using just the Bible how there is a direct correlation.
Well no where in the bible does it say the universe is 6000 years old.
The correlations are the people who believe the myths themselves.

That's not true either. At least not when the Bible is understood to be correct in it's plain sense.
God created in six days - with Adam being created on the sixth day. Also, thanks to the numerous genealogies found within the text itself (Luke traces Jesus's lineage back to Adam!) it becomes impossible to fit the history of mankind into the secular timeframe of millions of years.
Again, when the Bible is read literally, it becomes reasonable to assume the universes' age is somewhere between 10,000-6,000 years old - taking into consideration any potential gaps in the genealogies.
Actually it kinda does. You have several chronological genealogies making it just about impossible to conclude anything else, if you read the book in a straightforward fashion.
I mean there are some arguable areas like the time of Abram's birth (70 year or 130 after Terah's birth) but these aren't going to make a big difference. It pretty much does say that. You may not like it, but that doesn't change the fact.
6000 year old earth is as incorrect as men having one less rib.

Well you started out talking about what scripture said. Scripture doesn't ever mention or slightly imply that men have one less rib. But it does contain chronological genealogies indicating the world began about 6000 years ago.
The question is, why don't you believe scripture?
Actually it says God took a rib from Adam to make Eve.
You are correct. The took Adam's rib (or tissue from his side) and made Eve. God also made the world in 6 days about 6000 years ago.
Well that is your opinion. The opinion of many who agree with you that the earth is 6000 years old also believe men actually have one less rib.
There are different opinions out there. To me those two sound like myth. You are free to believe what you want regardless.
So you heard it from a pastor, therefore all YECs believe that? That's not very scientific reasoning.
Exactly. You can believe scripture and reject it. God always gives us this choice. Why do you choose to reject it?

...It's an interpretation of a translation. You have yours I have mine.
So then you agree with me that the earth is 6000 years old. Cool!
See I just decided to interpret what you said that way. I can do that, right?
Sure if that makes you feel better.
I still think the earth being 6000 lacks truth.
So by that I interpret you saying you believe in geocentrism.
Hay, thinking like you is fun.
You getting my point yet?
