>>Then why does Genesis specifically say that
>>God formed man from the dust of the earth
>>instead of God formed man from the animals He created?
Both ARE true.
How? When God says that He took the dust of the earth to form man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, it precludes using animals.
Animals are already alive, so there wouldn’t be the need to breath the breath of life into man.
Evos ask if God didn’t use evolution, why didn’t He say so. Well, He did. Evos just aren’t listening.
