I thought the Bible said that God made man out of mud.

Which does beg the question why some people believe in DNA, the Bible says nothing about DNA, it says MUD, not Deoxyribonucleic acid. Is this literal truth or what?

Gawrsh, mud ain’t rocks - DUH!

Actually, your point is a good one. But that would be saying the the Bible was using a metaphor. And the Bible, according to some believers, is literally true.

An intelligent mind fashioning preexisting materials into a functional organism is quite a bit different than an inanimate rock transforming itself into a highly sophisticated biological organism don't you think?
