The y chromosome is not an X without one little piece like a rib or a leg. It's a tiny little nothing compared to an X. It's about 1/10 the size. And it started out as an X, so if we are going to be scientifically accurate, Adam would have been made from Eve's rib.

Nahmanides said something that sounds sort of like the Big Bang. He said lots of things. He speculated. He was a smart guy. Maybe if he were born in the 20th Century, he would have been a great physicist. But he was a 12th Century Rabbi so all he could do was speculate.

Now if he had said there was no real Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden was a metaphor for the dawn of civilization, that would have been something. But then nobody would have believed him and they probably would have burned all his books. As a Jew in the 12th century, he's lucky they didn't burn him anyway for not believing that Christ literally rose from the dead.
