Why isn't he still doing it today?
I mean, if you want people to believe in God, that'd be a pretty good way to do it, right? To have God come down, gather up a pile of dirt, blow on it, and create a human being?

Why is there still dirt?

God created the heavens and earth. What he creates lasts forever, unless he decides to destroy it. God created, then he rested. There is no need for him to create anything and he has not created anything since the creation.
God is not in the business of proving himself to anyone. Why should he stoop to that? He is the creator and so far above his creation that the difference is probably bigger than the difference between us and an amoeba. He has broken into history many times by talking to people and predicting how he would act and then making things come to pass. He broke into the universe in a big way through Christ Jesus. Why should he do more than that?
He wants his creation to acknowledge him for who he is. He wants us to love him and follow his will. He will not do anything that will prove his existence because it takes no faith to believe something that is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. He wants us to use our faith, not our reason.

Actually, "god" "created" Adam out of mud, but for some unexplained reason, "created" Eve out of one of Adam's ribs. Certainly there was plenty of mud there to "create" Eve, and maybe a few other people too. That way there would have been no necessity for incest in the subsequent "begotting." A reasonable explanation for this poor planning has never been offered.

He does not have to come down. He is here. He is part of you. Who do you think told the ventricle's in your heart to seal when you were born so that you could begin to use your perfect lungs. Which of your parents designed your DNA. Who do you think causes your heart to beat? Only humans have the power of the will (free will given by him in his image) to to deny him. However that denial does not change the truth of his presence even in your life. Why not just say thank you and mean it. Can you create a peach, a tree, a life, a planet, a solar system, a galaxy, a cluster of galaxies, a universe, or love.

God had his Angels collect dirt from every area of earth. He extracted all chemicals that are in the dirt. Then he made Adam's organs, bones, skins and every thing else in the body using those chemicals. This is why our is vegetables grown on dirt (containing all vitamins) meat (that comes out of animals that eat vegetables ) contains proteins, milk of animals has calcium which makes bones of fetus etc. etc. This is why doctor tells us to eat a balance diet consisting of foods from all four food groups you already know.
When Divine revelations were given to Prophets like Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad how God could explain them the Bio-Chemistry, vitamins, proteins, calcium and all minerals that body needs. To replensih these chemicals we consume in body we eat various vegetables and fruits, milk, meat and all grains. Prophets were not educated and those days humans didn't know composition of their body. This is why God encourages humans in Quran to discover every thing God has made, so they can find themselves.
Therefore God told Prophets that the first man was made out of dirt instead of chemicals which they couldn't understand.
God did design the statue of Adam out of dirt to see how he will look like just like today a car designer first designs model of a car out of clay, rubber or any such material that he can carve, add, substract to keep changing the shape until the next model is designed perfectly. Sciences are made by God. Humans only discover them and thereby gets to know what he is made of, what the earth, sun, moon, water, etc. are made of.

For a start, it was the first man only who was created from dirt and secondly God gave us the gift of freedom of choice. If He had wanted to just be a sculptor you wouldn't be here posing this question.

Good question. Truth is that when God took that dirt He breathed into it His breath, which is eternal, so people became eternal beings. Therefore He does not have to create them over and over. Simple Huh!

It's not the right kind of dirt. It has to be Biblical dirt.

What some people don't get is that God doesn't want you to believe in Him out of the sight of Him. He wants you to believe in Him out of faith, what the Bible says, and love.

He gave people sex so they could decide whether to sin or not. It's a brilliant litmus test. God is quite crafty, eh?
