That is brilliant!
So brilliant, in fact, that I noticed that a large number of those answering have completely missed the point.
Kudos to you!

Well when God created man out of dust and clay the next thing he did was breathe life into it. But only the dust and clay he made Adam from was breathed into. Therefore the rest of the dust and clay remained dust and clay. Hope this is helpful!

Great!!! He only needs a handful of dust and clay to made two human beings He dont need all of the dust and clay in the entire Earth..Think for yourself if you will make a sandcastle on a beach will you need all the sand on the beach? No, isn't it? You will just take the sand which is enough for your works and that's it? So that's why God didnt take all the dust and the clay cuz He knew that we will still need it for our uses here on Earth...Hope you get it

Because Dust, Clay and Man have a common ancestor. The dust God used to create man is no longer here and God created more dust to replace it.
Or something like that.

Because GOD has a plan for second Great Flood murder and he saved some material to repeat his own creation.
PLus Most Cristians not only support evolution they even prove it. God made adam out of dust and from Adam we were created. Isn't that an evolution? Dust-Man-Man . Imagine if there was no evolution? We all would be out of dust and no air purifiers would help.
Therefore GOD exists.

If you were to make a cake would you use an extra egg? Or would you leave it for breakfast the next morning? Would the cake turn out right if you did? Or would the beauty of the recipe (a design) be ruined? If you believe that we evolved, then why does our DNA have proof-readers to junk the mistakes? Why would something like an information strand try to preserve itself? Sounds like a design to me? I believe it takes more faith to believe that we happened by mistake or even random chance. No one was there to see the beginning so any conclusion that we might come to is by faith. I choose to place my faith in God the Father of all the one and only true God. He is the Master Designer, the uncreated. He sent his son Jesus Christ to die for or sins. All we have to do is realize that (1) there is a God, (2) we don't give him glory all the time, (3) ask for forgiveness and receive him as lord of our life. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

dust and clay refer metaphorically to what the earth is made up of.the earth is made up of an iron core, with metallic minerals from the stars in space.carbon is also part of this dust.so when God says dust and clay,he means man is formed from, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon,and hydrogen.all the elements, that make up earth, also make up our solar system.so, when God formed man out of our earth, he was forming man from elements essential for human life.carbon is found everywhere in space.
God Bless

Because he didn't make us out of dust and clay. He made us out of ground up unicorn bones and the blood of a thousand pixies.

if you make cookies using 2 cups of flour from a 5 lb bag, why is there still flour when you also have your cookies?
besides, I'm not made out of dust and clay, I'm made out of sugar and spice and all things nice.
