The people behind godisimaginary.com alleged that the creation of Adam is an ‘anti-scientific nonsense’, and that God did not create Adam from a handful of dust, like the Bible says. To my readers, see how these blatant liars are ‘wrestling’ with the words of the Bible. Their allegation and their pre-conceived ideas are not found in the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible can you find a verse that Adam was created by God from a handful of dust. What is written is recorded in Genesis 2:7, which says:
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
While it is true that God created man from the dust of the ground, the phrase, “handful of dust,” is absent in the verse! It is conceived in the minds of these perverts. Be that as it may, the information in the Bible is scientific! Granting, without accepting, that there is such a thing as ‘handful of dust,’ whose hands will be the measuring hands for the dust that God will use in the formation of Adam? People who cremate the dead have an idea of how much dust will be left of the human body after cremation. I am sure it is not a sack of dust; but very close to a handful — depending on the hand that holds them. And why is it scientific? God made man from dust; and when his body dies, it decomposes and turns again to dust.
(Genesis 3:19) “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”
What are the scientific proofs that man’s body came from the dust of the ground, as the Bible says? The human body is made up of materials and minerals found on the surface of the ground, and not from the core of the earth. Oxygen, being the most abundant element on the earth’s crust or on the ground, makes up 65 percent of the human body; and carbon, also abundant on the top soil of the ground, is 18%, and hydrogen is 10%. The 59 elements found in the human body are all found on the earth's crust. This is amazing because what the Bible says perfectly matches the scientific composition of the human body.
The ignorance of these ‘imaginary people’ in what the Bible says betrays their alleged intelligence and knowledge in science. Of course, the human body is not made up only of dust, but God mixed the dust with water to produce clay.
(Job 10:9) “Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?”
(Romans 9:20-21) “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?”
The mixture is clay, and understandably contains more water than dust. Who says that the information in the Bible is scientifically nonsense? They are the ones that are nonsensical, and not the Bible!
The exact proportion of the minerals and materials, if maintained, make up a healthy human body (http://www.emory.edu/EMORY_REPORT/erarchive/1998/September/erseptember.21/9_21_98Size.html). Excesses in these materials will cause disorders and diseases. For example, excess of aluminum and iron will be toxic for the human body. The proportions of the abundance of the 59 elements on the earths crust are amazingly represented in their presence in the human body. Who says that the Bible is not scientific? These ‘imaginary and anti-scientific people’!
