SPARE RIBS

Here’s Rolene Strauss from South Africa, crowned Miss World 2014.                                 
What do you think?... is she another beautiful masterpiece of humanity or is she just an accident of nature too?

Now then ladies, us men have you to thank for bringing us into the world… but where did you come from?  Venus?                                      
Ah!…you say women evolved over millions of years?                                                
Is that so?...just like the hundreds of thousands of sexual species all survived by simultaneously, as male and female, adapting and evolving through chance genetic mutation?...with no design whatsoever? 
                                                         
Right…I’m not sure I can get my head around that. Did you know geneticists admit that reproductive cells CANNOT adapt to environment, plus…….. we all seem to have a COMMON ancestry!

Science also has to admit that the universe must have had a supernatural beginning - where else did the matter and energy come from?...so let’s see if the first woman also arrived ...wait for it...............................supernaturally, like this:

Loneliness was not good for Adam, so what did God do about it?  
The Master Surgeon commenced the world’s first costectomy on the world’s first donor – a surgical procedure under anaesthesia to remove a rib (you know - just a spare part :) to sculpt His ultimate creative masterpiece: an adult woman ready for Him to give away at the world’s first wedding.  Meanwhile the patient made a remarkably quick recovery from major surgery! 
That must have been a busy day for everyone.                                                           

The human skeleton has a thoracic cage of ribs to protect the vital organs (that’s handy, hey!), to facilitate breathing and let's not forget, to support those vital breasts of hers.                                         
There are 12 pairs of ribs comprising: 7 true pairs, 3 false pairs and 2 floating pairs – 24 in total. So then why don’t men have one less rib?                                           

If surgeons remove a rib but leave the surrounding periosteum membrane…guess what!....osteoblast cells will regrow replacement rib bone. How about that!

Which rib was taken?  We aren’t told.   
Some like to think it was a rib close to Adam’s heart, making for a great romance.
Or maybe Adam had been created with a spare rib?
On the other hand if it was a rare ‘cervical rib’ growing from the 7th cervical vertabra, well…that would make for a pain in the neck........(nah, just joking:)

So we can thank Adam or blame him!
