The Bible doesn't say rib, it says SIDE. Eve was made from
the side of Adam because Adam was parted in two to make
Eve. Originally Adam and Eve were one. Read Aristophanes'
speech in Plato's Symposium which makes the origin of the
Bible story clear especially when Socrates cites the
original source.

Even if Plato and/or Aristophanes knew about the Genesis
story, it doesn’t make their fanfic part of the Biblical
canon.

The Bible was written AFTER Plato's Symposium took place. The
story already existed in Athens in 416 BC before Genesis was
even composed. Socrates knew of the story from an old woman he
met decades earlier so we can assume it was doing the rounds
since at least 450 BC

 There's only one Genesis that counts... and it featured Tom
Baker and some Daleks.

WHAT?? How about the Genesis that featured Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett??
