Numerical Expositions: Genesis 2:21

And the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:  and he took one of the ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

-- Gen. 2:21 (KJV)

This verse lists the first recorded surgery in history.  The Lord puts man to sleep and takes one of his ribs out.  God uses this rib to make a woman in the next verse.  Putting a person to sleep before surgery is widely used today with the use of anesthesia.  Once again, science takes something from religion without any gratitude or acknowledgement.
