Well from the dust of the earth, The bible does not say the exact way a living person was made. But with Gods breath, or his spirit we have that energy, and life. It does explain why we share many of the same things in nature like organs, and other characteristics.

It says 'dust' from the ground.
My opinion, this symbolically means that we are made of the elements of the earth. We've got potassium, calcium, salt nitrates, and other minerals and stuff in our bodies. We replenish this by eating stuff that came from the earth.
You have to read Genesis, or the entire Old Testament, with Eastern eyes where symbolism is a whole different thing for them. Westerners think literal.
What do the Jews (who share the Old Testament with us) think about this?

Man did not come from dirt. God formed a man out of the dust of the earth for the soul he had created to dwell in. He first created Adam and then formed a body for Adam to dwell in.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 2:7 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.

Yes. (dust,soil,clay, Edom clay)
"For dust you are and to dust you will return." Isnt that true? When a person dies and was buried, even the coffins are ruined and all returns to the soil?
Evolution says the first living creature came from a non living matter...have scientists created even a tiny ant out of non-living matter?

when you consider that believing in evolution is eliminating God from the image. God created Eve as a spouse and as a praise to Adam and as a spouse so as that they'd be fruitful and populate the earth. God created kinds and persons varieties grew to change into the best purchase we see in the international, guy is a kind created in God's picture, we did not come from a decrease life variety. tell ME, the position did the comprehend-how come from for the DNA to make that first celled organism stay and performance? the position did the RNA come from that permits make life carry out? each and each and every favor to artwork at the same time for life. So, the position did the interest come from?

That is correct, he was made from the dust of the earth, and when he dies, he returns to the dust from which he came.
