someone once said that eve coming from the rib of adam was like cell division.
My mate is convinced it refers to the baculum. I have never worked out how the logic of that works but it's an article of faith for him.

Barty, you can't just pontificate. You have to commit to reading the KJV with the rest of us in order to earn your right to pontificate.

And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
adah and zillah sound like right slags as well. up for all sorts of nastiness.
flood now. this is a big one in comparative mytholody. everyone has a flood. hindus. greeks (sorry corpse). the lot. there's some theory that there was a flood in the black sea that inspired all this.
i remember being a kid and thinking it was so cool that the flood in halo were called the flood.
You can't divorce it from that context can you. It's very difficult to separate what is powerful because we have had 2000+ years of making it wicked, and what is inherently powerful. It's all tangled together. That's part of what makes reading it interesting. Even for people like us who didn't grow up with it, aetheist families in a wider secular culture.
does anyone say that the fertile crescent is eden?
it's all one classic after the next. it's a greatest hits album. adam and eve, cain and abel, noahs flood, now babel. didn't know it was this compact. all killer no filler.
What do you mean?
do the kind of people who say that adam and eve are cell division and that the flood was some real flood in the black sea also say that eden is actually the fertile crescent?
