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.
Genesis 2:7
"A look at the periodic table of the elements and examination of the elemental make-up of living organisms can quickly confirm Genesis 1 which states that man is formed from the dust of the earth.
There are about 92 naturally occurring elements in the periodic table.
Approximately 25% of these are considered essential to life.
Many are alkali metals such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), alkaline earth metals, magnesium (Mg2+), and calcium (Ca2+).
Many others are transition metals, such as iron (Fe2+/3+), copper (Cu1+/2+), cobalt (Co2+/3+), and zinc (Zn2+).
The use of metals by life is so prevalent and important that, as stated by Robert J. P. Williams of Oxford University, “there is no biology without metal ions.”
At least a third of all enzymes use one or more metal ions to catalyze their reactions.
Metal ions are used to help position substrates in enzyme active sites, to provide electron “sinks,” and/or serve as a source of electrons during catalysis. They function as structural support for many proteins and conduct electrons to oxygen within the electron transport chain in mitochondria for energy production."
