The Lost One
This topic is not about evidences “FOR” or “AGAINST” evolution.
This topic is about creationists showing demonstrable evidences that man (Adam) can be created from the earth, as some scriptures say, like the Genesis 2 and Qur’ān 15, 23, 38 & 55.
According to Genesis, Adam is made out of dust from the earth.
As I understand it (verse), this “dust” would be “soil” of some types, which I had learned in my subjects on soil testing and foundation, in my days of studying civil engineering course, and “soil” could be of 3 basic types:
Soil of these types have different chemical compounds and molecular structures of degraded rock minerals.
Before soil were made, the original source to soil are from rocks. The process of turning rock into soil...
Genesis is not very specific about the soil type, only that Adam’s creation is set somewhere in the Garden of Eden.
In the Qur’an, the soil is the last one, clay.
The story of Adam’s creation, in the Qur’an is entwined with the creation and fall of Iblis, the Islamic version of Satan/Devil.
The passage in Qur’an 38:71-77, repeated the creation of man in similar but slightly in more detail about the fall of Iblis (Satan). So I won’t bother quoting this passage.
In Qur’an 55:14, we have god shaping the clay into man, like pottery”.
But in Qur’an 23:12-14, we have some more detail about another material (“sperm-drop”) to make, and how all these, were .
The questions are, how can it be possible to make a living, breathing man of silt or clay or vague “dust”?
If we break down human flesh and bones into their molecular structures, they are not the molecular structures of clay or silt. How do you account for the chemical compositions (of human anatomy and soil) being so different?
So what evidences that you have that man is made directly out of the earth (soil)?
It shouldn’t be possible to create man from soil, unless it is all “magic” and supernatural.

According to Genesis, Adam is made out of dust from the earth.
“Genesis 2:7” said:7 then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.
As I understand it (verse), this “dust” would be “soil” of some types, which I had learned in my subjects on soil testing and foundation, in my days of studying civil engineering course, and “soil” could be of 3 basic types:
- sand,
- silt,
- or clay.
Before soil were made, the original source to soil are from rocks. The process of turning rock into soil...
(A) begins with “weathering” rock, where rock minerals (eg quartz or feldspar) have broken away from rock,
(B) and then over time, these rock minerals will degrade, turning rock minerals into clay minerals or silt minerals.

“Qur’an 15:26-34” said:26 And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.
27 And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.
28 And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.
29 And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
30 So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,
31 Except Iblees, he refused to be with those who prostrated.
32 [ Allah ] said, O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"
33 He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."
34 [ Allah ] said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled. [ Allah ] said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled.

“Qur’an 55:14” said:He created man from clay like [that of] pottery.
But in Qur’an 23:12-14, we have some more detail about another material (“sperm-drop”) to make, and how all these, were .
“Qur’an 23:12-14” said:12 And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.
13 Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging.
14 Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.
