Since I see you are attempting to back out in providing proof I will provide some. Men have 1 fewer rib than women. Name a monkey or relative of the species that also has that trait since "science" clearly believes we came from monkeys (or an offshoot of such) yet the bible clearly has a different reason for the difference in the number of ribs.
I will even accept a theory on why we might have evolved with men haveing one less rib than women.
I am waiting.

When the Bible can satisfy the same criteria that scientific theories are subject to then perhaps I will give it more credance. But until you can plausible prove where the water came from to cover the earth and how Noah could fit 2 of every animal on an arc, I'm not going to hold my breath.
But with respect to
ribs....
"The
human rib cage area. A typical human ribcage consists of 24 is a part of the human skeleton within the thoracicribs, 12 on each side of the thoracic cavity, in both males and females. This was noted by the Flemishanatomist Vesalius in 1543, setting off a wave of controversy, as it was traditionally assumed from the Biblical story of Adam and Eve that men's ribs would number one fewer than women's."
So where is thise "difference in number of ribs" of which you speak?
I don't need to prove a negative. But if you have examples that can withstand scientific scruitiny I'm sure there are many biblical scholars that will want to hear from you.
Listen, if your faith helps you function in the world, good for you. If it helps you become a better person (as it does for many) then that is wonderful.
But when posters such as flames85 come on and declare the bible as "true" they should expect to be challenged. To the benefit of Azure and Firefly, if I interpret correctly they were seemed to be trying to "nudge" flames85 away from his extreme view.
The poster I put up may have been harsh, but that is the way I perceive much of these religious debates, and I wouldn't (perhaps shouldn't) have posted it but I couldn't allow some of the views espoused to go unchallenged.
(Edit: of course going to a meeting before posting my response may have meant many people jumped on these points first)
