Creation Moment 3/1/2024 - Like baking a designer cake....

"The Bible records that Adam was specifically made from the dust of the ground before God breathed life into him (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). 

The Hebrew word for dust is ʿāp̄ār (עפר, pronounced ‘afar’), which

conveys the concept of dry earth. 

Now, Moses didn’t know about the material composition of the human body, or what elements were. 

Yet, he specifically recorded this detail when compiling the book of Genesis around 3,500 years ago. Today we are able to identify the elements that make up the human body, which can all be found in the dust of the ground. When we die and decompose, we do exactly what the Bible teaches: our bodies return to dust (Genesis 3:19).

Of course, just like baking a designer cake, the right ingredients

must not only be present at the right time and in the right quantities, but they also need to be put together with purposeful design and complex organization. It is because God has done this and given mankind reason, intelligence, and consciousness that we have the ability to communicate, to love, perform complex mathematics, to produce beautiful artwork, and to play musical instruments brilliantly. Dust can do none of this, no matter how long you leave it. What we observe of humanity fits the biblical account of creation far better than Darwin’s theory."
