God is a surgeon.
How do I know?
Well, one day Adam, the man God had made,
after naming all the animals, is so tired from all that activity that he falls
into a deep sleep. He is a bit sad that there is no one on earth to help him
name all the animals. He doesn’t have anyone to talk to except God, as the
animals don’t have the gift of language.
They make funny noises but Adam doesn’t
understand them, and can’t really know what they are saying.
It is really God who sends Adam into a deep
sleep and gives him a dream, while He is busy with something else.
While Adam is sleeping, God opens him up and
takes out his rib.
He saw how Adam was unhappy he had nobody to
talk to, and thinks ‘It is not good for man to be alone’.
I don’t know how God did this without any
bleeding or anesthetic, but then he’s God, he can do anything. God examines
Adam’s rib. Perfect, he won’t even know it’s missing. I am going to make him a
helper.
Adam has plenty of ribs and God chooses the
fattest one below his heart to make a woman out of.
Up in God’s workshop, He had the blueprints.
He moulds the woman to look like Adam but gives her longer hair, and makes
her body more shapely. He turns her around and gives her hips and legs and
longer fingers. And eyelashes. And he removes the facial hair, and gives her
fuller lips. She is looking very fine and delicate. He also smooths over her
skin making it soft and sensitive to touch.
Adam will love this, thinks God. Then he
can’t complain to me he is all alone.
Lastly he adds in the woman’s voice box,
fine tuning the vocal chords to the right pitch so she sounds melodious to his
ears. Finally, woman is finished. The final creation.
