@rationalthinker congratulations on your bold stance here.
The Bible is hard to accept if taken literally. "Rib" is the translation of a Hebrew word meaning body part, or so I understand. My guess, as a Judeo-Christian scientific rationalist, is that it is a way of describing a string of DNA, ie Eve was made a female clone of Adam, thus making the pair the ancestors of us all.
