If God used animals, then why does it say that He breathed into [man’s} nostrils the breath of life and man BECAME a living being.

If God used evolution, then He would have used another living being and the verse would not have been needed.

If it gives no hint as to what the process was, why do evos feel the need to fill it in for God?

How do they know that they’re right and not lying about how God really did it?

I understand and respect where you are coming from, but my sense of wonderment will not allow me to accept the short answers. Had I done so I would have been denied the joy of seeing the greater splendor and beauty in the details of His works.

Can you tell me the meaning of the phrase "breath of life" means and where it comes from? Is it physical and measurable or is it metaphysical? Is it an input or a result? Or is it simply a phrase to affirm THAT God gave life to man?

Why do you shrink from examining the beauty of Gods creation with the full power of the mind that God gave you?

I can only speak for myself as a Christian and a man of science, but I can relate how I and many like me think. We know we are right because as God reveals more of his works to us we are able to observe in greater detail the works of God. Because we are not afraid that our faith might be shaken by what we discover, but rather expect our faith to be reinforced. Had God not wanted us to use our full minds and reasoning He could have made our faith as automatic as the migration instincts of birds.
