'''''Question: Did God make men and women, of Genesis 2:18-21?'''
William Branham taught incorrectly that women have one more rib than men as a result of how God made the first woman.  This is, of course, scientifically incorrect.


'''''No'''. I—I… as—as you'll see here, 2:18-21 now, notice: And the LORD God said, It—It is not good that… man should be alone; I will make him an '''help mate''' for him. And out of the ground the LORD… formed every beast… and so forth. Now, God made Eve from Adam's side. The woman has one more rib today in the anatomy, the make-up than man does, because a rib was taken from Adam's body. Adam had already been made and was living, and was lonesome, and then God said, "It's not good that man should live alone."<ref>William Branham, 53-0729 - Questions And Answers On Genesis, para. 96</ref>
