    Adam is the Hebrew word for 'man', while eve means 'source of life'. The word we translated to rib is an ambiguous term which refers to the side. So, God took one of/from man's side. To this day we often refer to our spouse as 'our other half' or even 'our better half'. And again, it is written that when man and woman come together they become one flesh. We become whole again.

    Individuals living in excess of 900 years doesn't comply with the 120 year limit God placed on man's life. However, if we look at each individual as representing an entire body of people living during a period it starts to make sense. Many of your family names still reflect similar practices. Smith, Gardner, Cook, Baker, Mason, etc.

    Such answers tend to open more questions than they answer, but that may be a tell-tale sign that we're actually getting somewhere. The more we know, the more we know we don't know.
