Genesis 2:7
From the Dust of the Ground, God Formed a Man
7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Genesis 2:19
Out of the Ground, God Forms the Wild Animals and Birds
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
I believe that God is grounded in everything there is on earth and in the universe...And I believe that when one looks at creation, the earth, and the universe, there seems to be this Intelligence both grounded in these things and surrounding these things...We have two chapters on creation and we are not given much detail...God, with Moses writing about Him, wanted us to know that He created the heavens and the earth in the beginning...I think because the creation process was such a great and wonderful process, many people study the creation process...Some people, especially scientists, want more and further information than the first two chapters of what Genesis gives us...
From out of the ground and from dust, God made Adam...God breathed life into Adam's nostrils...And Adam became a living human being...The very first human from dust...
Years ago, Charles Darwin wrote that maybe life came from a warm little pond, billions of years ago when the earth was beginning...Darwin believed that man may have evolved from a primordial soup from this warm little pond...Darwin thought that if the conditions were right, billions of years ago, the beginning of life and man may have started as an amphibian-type creature -from this warm little pond, and from these chemicals...Then man evolved from a simple cell type into something more complex and finally into man over the next fifteen billion years...Most scientists do believe that life must have water...There is a group of scientists that believe life may have came from the deep parts of the ocean, and with the right conditions on the earth billions of years ago -life evolved....But most of these scientists are in agreement, they believe that all organisms came from a random group of similar chemicals...And these chemicals and the right conditions (heat or cold, atmospheric conditions, etc.) randomly made life...(I am not quite sure where the chemicals came from and how the right conditions came into being)...
Many other scientists believe that life began in the tiny cracks in rocks and evolved from the methane and other chemicals that are around and in the rocks...They believe that in these cracks of the rocks are chemical elements that support life, albeit, a simple microbial life...
Now, I just recently read something similar to this methane-chemical rock theory, where scientists have found microbes under the earth three miles deep...They think that these microbes were the beginning of life, and that life may have had its beginning out of the ground, three miles deep...Tiny organisms are growing three miles deep under the earth's surface, and worked there way to the earth's surface, and man's life on top of the earth started then...They have discovered that around the world that these microbes deep in the earth have much similar DNA patterns, helping to explain how man populated the entire earth...These rock and ground theorists seem to believe that life in the beginning was first formed out of the ground...These recent theories which relate to the earth and ground seem to hold some linkage to scripture...
I do not know much about any of these theories...Science is always seeking and wants to understand the Truth...I believe God wants us to have ideas and thoughts about His creation...He wants us to find and better understand the Truth...Truth can lead us to an intelligence, the Intelligence...And the earth and the universe does have this Intelligence surrounding it...He also wants us to have faith...Faith and Truth takes us to the Bible...
There is no doubt that God's creation was a mysterious process...And the Bible says that 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,, a living soul...And the Bible says that the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky...It is written that out of the ground came many things...How God brought life into existence, is still a Great Mystery for man...I believe God is behind this Great Mystery and is this Great Surrounding Intelligence of the Universe...
