Hi George,

I appreciate your post on Eve’s creation from Adam’s rib. You offer a fresh perspective by comparing the biblical account with modern genetics and stem cell research. This approach gives the text new relevance.

Your use of bone marrow as a source of genetic material is interesting. It provides a possible explanation for how life could be created from a rib. The connection between the X and Y chromosomes makes the case even more vital. It raises the idea that Eve’s creation could have been biologically feasible.

Your thoughts on genetic diversity and inbreeding are also valid. The inbreeding coefficient highlights potential genetic risks in the story. It makes sense to explore this angle.

I wonder, though, about the balance between science and symbolism. While your analysis is grounded in biology, the story might have more spiritual implications. Could focusing on the symbolism strengthen the overall interpretation?

Your argument about "Creatio ex potentia" is also worth considering. It aligns God's creation with scientific principles, which adds another layer to the discussion.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Your work encourages more profound reflection on how ancient texts relate to modern science.

I am looking forward to more of your insights.

Dr. Jerry
