Hi.
I have read this over and over again, (Genesis)
20And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
And I was just wondering. If God had already made MAN (Adam), and then all the beasts and birds and such, then decided to make Woman to be his help meet, much later...I was wondering then if when Adam was first made by God, did God make him with a, you know...a....thingy? Because what would he need a thingy for, if woman hadn't even been invented yet?
It has always seemed to me that our reproductive systems were a cobbled together bunch of baling wire and duct tape, trying to make the DWV plumbing do something it wasn't originally designed to do.
Would this be Biblical support for my opinion? Why would God design Man with a 1/2 reproductive system, if he hadn't even yet contemplated making a woman? And then done a hack on his previous design to add on the required functionality?
This has been one of my most perplexing questions.
thanks
