{{Quote||If one was to draw a line from the tip of the coccyx, to the upper portion of either seminal vesicle and extend the line forward it will catch the ribcage.

The ribs are above the seminal vesicles which are above the tip of the coccyx when a standing person's anatomy is viewed. Since only the top of the seminal vesicles falls between the bottom of the coccyx and the bottom of the rib-cage on the above mentioned line, the vesicle is not really between the loins and ribs. This argument also ignores the prostate glands (source of 25-30% of semen), testes (2-5%) and bulbourethral glands (up to 1%). | The ribs are above the seminal vesicles which are above the tip of the coccyx when a standing person's anatomy is viewed.

Though the ribcage is roughly cylindrical, the uterus is never inside it. Further, the embryo is already "created" much before pregnancy since the verse refers to fertilisation. The liquid being discussed here never flows anywhere close to a woman's ribs. | Though the ribcage is roughly cylindrical, the uterus is never inside it.
