  How can you arrogantly assert that Eve was created from Adam's rib, and then jokingly imply that the "Kronus guy" is nothing more than myth? It's hard to see the whole forest when you're just a tree. That's a metaphor.

  Well, his mysterious wife had to come from somewhere. And you do know how irrational and superstitious this whole thing is, right? "Eve came from Adam's rib" just like Athena was borne of Zeus' cranium, and Aphrodite was conceived after Kronus lost his penis in the ocean.

  Again, the use of examples really helps you not look like an idiot. You keep saying, "I know for a fact," "I am so certain," and you've not produced one example to prove any of your points. You can't say, "I know for a fact" when you simply "remembered reading a few articles on the i...

You're right. I was comparing English to other languages, among which it is very, very unique to have the word 'do' used in such contexts. When I say meaningless 'do', I mean that is not used in its literal sense, but rather as an arbitrary particle based on what we have to work with ...

  English today is about as unique as you can get:

  It's one of the rare languages that uses a rhotic 'r' (non-rolling)

  We have a meaningless 'do'

  It's been virtually stripped of verb conjugation

  Most languages would say "he walks." We say "he is walking" to represent the same idea.
