I've got relatives who SWEAR UP AND DOWN that because God took a rib from Adam to create Eve, it means all men today have one fewer rib than all women. This has been debunked medically, but they won't hear that. I tried to tell them that just because you dock a dog's tail doesn't mean all the puppies of the same sex will be born with docked tails, but I got back, "There's a difference between us doing it and God doing it." As a fervent believer in Christ, I must say that holding on to irrational beliefs like that, despite logic and evidence, embarasses me. People think that because I'm a Christian, I'm irrational and narrow minded too.
