that was being discussed here.
 

 
What is being discussed here is Genesis and I am explaining where
the stories originally came from.

It was never about ribs. It was about sides and I've shown you that the
original source of the story was known to Plato, Aristophanes, and
Socrates.
 

That’s a bit misleading. Like I said in my other post, it’s probably
more like the Bible and your Greek guys were drawing on
similar sources and traditions but putting their own unique twists
on the story.

You can’t simply say there’s a direct one-to-one match between
the Greek story and the Biblical one. The differences are as
important as the similarities.
