Creation of anything and everything comes from dust… Dust that explodes from stars which then combine to form planets. No reason why God would not say that He created man from the dust of the Earth.
“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics.
You are all stardust.
You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode.”
-Prof Lawrence Krauss (2009, A Universe from nothing)
I know, i know. Acceptance of yes. Works for me anyway.
