Genesis chapter two presents the Garden of Eden account. Right from the start events take a wildly imaginative twist—not inaccurately described as bizarre.

First, the male is created by a seemingly lone male god.
Most Earthfolk heard this story in childhood Sunday School sessions and it is
easy
to glide over images and statements that are familiar but upon reflection are
really unusual.
As a sojourning alien the immediate questions raised are,
Why is there only one god?”
"Why are there only two males, here?”
“Where is the Mother goddess?”

With these questions unanswered, the story relates that the Father god realizes that the lone male Adam is lonely. As an aside comes the thought, “How could he be lonely if there are no other humans around, male or female?” The god then creates the woman—not as he has done the man, from earthen dust—from a bodily part of the male. The god puts the lone male in a deep sleep and removes a rib. The woman is created from the male rib. “What is the meaning of this?”

One answer is that the story plainly states that
“the male body is the birthing body.”

What an astounding, amazing, weird, fabulous, incredible…wildly imagined revelation! “Why? What is the deeper message of this story?” Earthfolk hold that it is a statement about intimacy.
