Genesis 2:22

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
  1. The LORD God created a woman from Adam's rib.
  2. The LORD God brought the woman to Adam.
  3. The LORD God used a different creative method for the woman than He did for man. He created man from the ground or the dust of the earth.
  4. A woman is the ideal companion for a man.
  5. This raises so many questions. Why did the LORD God create the woman from Adam's rib? Why was it better to use Adam's rib than creating her from the ground like He created Adam? Why did the LORD God wait so long to create the woman? Why did God create woman somewhere else and then bring her to Adam - was God trying to keep the process of creation secret from Adam? Why is a woman the ideal companion for a man - the help meet for him? Didn't the LORD God know this was a recipe for trouble - why not just give Adam a trusty dog?
