Does anyone known what the correct usage is? Penis bone or penile bone? Baculum or os penis? Or does it vary by species?-- The Anome 17:56, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
The link "Adam's rib as an argument against evolution" does not actually contain any arguments against evolution. Link should be renamed.

I think the reference to Eve being created from Adam's penis should be removed. It is blatant conjecture, totally unsupported by Biblical evidence. The Hebrew word tsela (Strong's number 06763) appears 41 times in the Old Testament. Not even one of this word's occurances imply this salacious insinuation.
Symbolically, this word demonstrates God created Eve from Adam's side, where, as his "helper," she belongs (not from Adam's backside, so she must walk behind him; nor from his front -- below the belt or otherwise -- so she must walk before him; nor from the soles of his feet, so she must be tread upon).
Instead, it is important to consider that tsela appears in such passages as Genesis 25:12 and 14, referring to the Ark of the Covenant's sides. Therefore, in order for a person to believe Eve was manufactured from Adam's penis, you must also believe the Ark had a generative organ. If I am not mistaken, the Bible usually refers to male and female generative organs by using the words, "between the feet," in essence, between the legs. This conjecture is highly misleading and should be removed. Just my two cents. --207.239.111.117 13:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Suzanne
