If the Bible would have been written/assembled by a matriarchal society, the rib would have come from Eve to create Adam. They would have been equal in 'God's' eyes, the male not considered subservient. The stories, especially the old testament, wouldn't have been filled with violence. Imagine how different Christianity would be if their holy book was only filled with peace, understanding, tolerance and love~

If karma were a reality, we'd have a matriarchal society already.

My impression is that the answer resides in that one story is more appealing to them than the other. In the creationist version humans are created by the deity and have part of deity in them, in the other humans are just skilled, smart simians.

My friend and I were discussing this and I asked him my all this, referring to the female form, wasn't enough? He said, "I already have two hands, why did god have to take one of my ribs?!"

I never thought of this before. It is bizarre, isn't it?
