Qur'an fully explains how we came about, those that are puffed up in pride refuse to believe and think that with their brains, our limited use of our brains, that they are smarter then God, and claim we come from monkeys lol

First of all: Science does not say that we are made from apes, but that live evolves. Humans are supposed to have evolved from primates, the predecessors of both apes and man. This is the material point of view, which translates into the belief that life was created by matter, a far bigger miracle than the other way around.
The spiritual view is that life existed before matter. This has lead to the Biblical story that humans were created from soil. "Soil" is just another word for "matter," in this story. Yes it's a miracle, but really, assuming that life came from dead matter is a bigger one.
As long as we think to be material we believe in death. In reality death does not exist. Therefore "God," the essence of our true being, said that we will struggle and die, after the Fall from Grace, after Adam and Eve learned about duality, or the belief in good and evil, spirit and matter, masculine and feminine, (hence they were ashamed: "Hey, we're NOT One! There's difference between us!") life and death. Everything is continually and eternally alive. Belief directs our viewpoints, and both viewpoints are correct. As viewpoints.

The bible is a bunch of stories put together to present a message of good, the stories are fictional and only crazy fundamentals believe every word. So no I don't believe humans were made from soil. And science does not say we came from apes, Charles Darwin does. Science says that human and Chimpanzee DNA are 98% identical which proves we had a common ancestor. That ancestor is some weird animal with a big jaw. So I don't believe in either of what you said because you did not word them correctly (i assume you had insufficient facts)

The genetic code that defines our bodies construction started off in the sea so many million or billion years ago with the first bacteria. The last species before humans evolved was the ape. The material that makes up our muscles and other body cells comes from the food we have eaten, most of which grows from the ground by combining air, water, sun and soil with some other genetically defined processes. The bible done what it could in describing the workings of this world, not bad for 2000 years ago. As we learn more about this world we should embrace this knowledge and not be placed in an idealogical prison.

Firstly, evolution does not state that humans were made from apes. So you have a bit of studying to do there.
Secondly, we all come from soil in the sense that when your mum was pregnant with you, whatever she ate came directly or indirectly from the soil and this was what you were made of.

I believe in Gods word.
Science was already proved wrong, They found a scull from a human and a jaw bone from an ape then put them together,Anyone can take bones from different animals and try to match them together.
That is about as silly as the big bang crap, Yea like two rocks crashed in space and made trees, plant's, body parts,blood, and all other living things. God did give us a brain,I believe I'll chose to actually use mine.

First off, science says that Apes and Humans
descended from a common ancestor. To say
that we descended from apes would be like
saying that you are your brother's kid.
In any case, there is lots of evidence of evolution
and no credible evidence of creationism - you
need to take it on faith.
Personally, science gives me the ability to predict
and faith does not. Science will tell me that microbes
do evolve to be tolerant of antibiotics - religion won't
help me even slightly there.
What, other than faith, would make me believe
in the soil model?

Science doesn't say we were made from apes. Common ancestor, yes, apes no.
Which still beats the theory that we were made from a pile of inert dust.

The soil theory is used to explain why people are so dirty. The apes theory is also a way to convince religious people that they are dirt. Scientists don't use it.

Science doesn't say that humans were "made from apes". They evolved from an ape-like common ancestor.
