You are kidding right? Eve is still dust, but thanks for that question. You have made me think about how old the world may or may not be.

For centuries after Christ, it was believed in the church that men had one less rib in them from which the woman was taken.
As late as 1564, Andreas Vesalius, the founder of the science of anatomy, was exiled by the church because he asserted that man was NOT missing rib.
And then there is this: Adam was taken from the dust but Eve was made from Adam's rib bone. When Adam dies, Adam can return to the dust, but what can Eve return to who was not made from dust? (Although,ultimately, even bone pulverizes into dust.)
