" Eve was created from Adam’s rib, bringing some people to believe that women were intended to be dependent and secondary beings. However, we still have to acknowledge that if Eve had been created with the same dust, she still would not be an equal being. Think about the cheetah and the cougar--- they are both wildcats, but they’re still taxonomized as two different organisms, or are divided organisms. Eve and Adam could have been created from the same type of dust, but the dust each one would be made from would still be different piles of dust. Like the cougar and the cheetah, men and women would not have gained equality with each other due to the fact that they were separately created from those different piles of dust! Observe what God did: instead of creating Adam and Eve from separate piles of dust, he created them with the same flesh. "
