Therefore, in the usual fashion we all use, God made his original woman out of Adam's rib. Theological shorthand for ribosome, I assume.

Scientifically that should've been reversed since it's the women who carry the chromosones for both men and women.

But yeah....men got have their egos inflated with a lot of phallacy.

I thought men had X & Y chromosomes and women had two X's?

I don't think anyones worthless if they can't be arsed or cannot reproduce, I mean who cares? Within the next couple hundred years capitalism and its economy will strip the world void of resources, sad as it may be, either that or there will be a nice big mushroom cloud storm over the world......come on fallout 3, come on fallout 3, come on fallout 3!

But seriously, you could argue that its un-evolutionary to not want to reproduce, but honestly its like homosexuality, it must have entered the human mind in some form, as must all others, asexuality for example must be from some mental thing, as with homosexuals, after all, the human mind is fragile enough and pathetic enough to diverge from evolution, after all we seem to evolve our environment than we evolve ourselves

Yes and they both carry Xs. Female chromosomes are the dominant since they are both Xs.

Exactly what gender is Y in other than males?

Androgony has always appealed to many sexes in the human kingdom.

I remember that has been used to support the idea of the Trinity, in which it seems to represent the three personifications, if you will, of God, but it doesn't explicitly say it though, if it isn't the case, then there is always the question of why is it that it was said in plural rather than singular.

The plural usage will support duity, fourity, fivity etc. just as well. In addition have you ever set (literally) to yourself or another "Let's see" as in "Let us see"? Hmmm? Hmmm?

ruveyn

well, that would seem to apply to english only in that case, but given that the use of plural vs singular seems to be the case in different translations of the Bible not only in english, so I believe knowing how that was written in the original hebrew to be important.

i thought women had half the chromosomes and men had the other half wich is needed to make a baby? alls i know is men determine the sex of a baby but i could be wrong

The 'us' is in reference to the other gods of the Caananite pantheon; it was written before anybody had the idea of only worshipping Yahweh.

well, there is the hypothesis, if I'm not mistaken it is just that, of a mother goddess venerated by ancient judaism before fully adopting monotheism, and some say few elements from the Bible may be references to her, though the issue of wether a god and a goddess are the ones refered in the "let us make man to our image" text from Genesis is something that I would think it could be under debate, and given that trinitarians use that as a reference and support for the belief in the Holy Trinity, is something interesting to get into, from both different perspectives, the Trinity and the idea of a goddess. The jews would likely have an explanation for that text differing from the christian perspective.

Since males carry both X & Y, what if a clone were made having the X and a duplicate X from the male genetic material? Would it be more or less difficult to do this versus making a Y chromosome from an X chromosome?
