I recently saw a posting that poked fun of the "man was formed from the dust of the ground" statement in the Bible. The writer called it mud, we were supposedly formed from mud. The writer evidently had a hard time believing this and was finding fault with the Bible. Question: When something dies it decays and turns to what? In the days before embalming , a persons remains would have decayed into a skeleton and what else? The remainder is usually a dark greysh substance laying semi compact and loose under the skeleton What is this substance? Ever seen the remains of a cremated body? What did the remainder look like? If water were to be poured on it, what would it become similar to? Once alive but now dead tree leaves fall off a tree, dry out, decompose into small pieces and over time embed into the earth. These dead leaves become what? Can you say DUST. Could grass grow over it the following year? The Bible isn't so wrong afterall.

It is very apparent we return to dust not sure what genius considers this a flaw with the Bible.

A little boy asked his mother if it was true that people were made from dust and became dust after they died. She replied in the affirmative. He then announced that he'd just looked under aunt Millie's bed and someone was either coming or going. LOL

it is mocked. because Christians oppose evolution. they say that it is not possible for a single cell organism to change over billions of years into what we are today.
but the idea that an invisible man in the sky made us from a handful of dirt is not at all far fetched to them.

Because creationists argue that it is impossible for living creatures to have come from non-living material, but yet the Bible claims that that is EXACTLY how man was created.

Because even though this is called the religion and spirituality forum, its really the Christian-bashing forum.
Lets all go over to the science section and bust their walnuts about that life-in-a-test-tube project that seems so elusive.
/And right after that, they'll get to the cold fusion and perpetual motion.

Your argument makes no sense. For instance, hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water, but that doesn't mean it came from water.

well yeah when we die we decompose, but we aren't born from it.
only man was made from dirt, women came from his rib....the rib part is the part that gets me. I could see something forming from dirt, cause what do you think grass grows in...but a rib?
