Here is just one link, there are so very many...and books that can be purchased that tell the account of the creation of man.

I believe this may go a long way in shedding light on matters of sexual orientations and attractions.

The Link

Yes. God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

Alias, my bad. I did post that link for not finding the one I had read about two years ago. I posted the link you perused, because it did share as well, that the first human being was androgynous.

I believe that explains alot of potential sexual orientation, right there.

But to be clear, as I then read the link further, the one I gave in the OP, I have to say, I do not believe God used a "rib" at all, but rather seperated the sexes within the one human being.

And since then I went back in links I count to be keepers and have the one I wish to share with y'all:

Great Things Happen When Man Falls Asleep

OD

I believed God used a rib from Adam. Adam also invented the word Woman. When he woke up, he took one look at Eve and he said "wooooooo man".

Do you know what Adam said to Eve on their second date?
"Better stand back baby, I don't know how big this thing gets".

And seriously, do you, Alias see the liklihood that God created the first human being to be androgynous?

OD

I see that possibility. How he looked is a mystery though. Is that why men have nipples? Tell me, do you think Adam had a belly button?

OD, you may have something there, for when you look at embryonic development, you see that while sex is determined by XX or XY chromosomes (or possibly XYY or XXY or other combination), it is not until development takes place that the sex organs are actually created. Back when I was in school, the science community thought the fetus was female by default, but I am not so sure what the thinking is now. Perhaps only the development of males was studied (and hormones found to trigger development), and that of females left for others to study.

Oh Dear,

It would seem to me, that perhaps you are having a problem with homosexual feelings. Forgive me if that assumption is wrong. The bible is clear about homosexuality. Count the cost, are you for him or against him? Or worse, are you sitting on the fence about it? I dont mean to be so blunt about it, but the only link man has to God is the scripture. Our eternity may very well depend on weather or not you believed in it. This life is so short, why take the chance?

I doubt Oh Dear is having homosexual feelings. I believe she is looking for discussion of gender differences.

I do not believe that the only link humanity has to the Creator is through scripture. One might find it in a science class when learning about DNA, or in nature when feeling one with the web of life or awestruck by its beauty, or in a hospital observing a terminal patient's recovery.

Eternity may be an endless string of present moments. How many of us live in the present moment?
