So you don’t really believe the biblical account that God literally formed Adam out of dust and then formed Eve out of a rib from Adam’s side? You believe that Adam (and Eve) literally had parents, who presumably weren’t quite fully “human”?

Not trying to play games with you. Just trying to understand your views.

I think the term “dust” was figurative for a lower life form. On the other hand, He could have been referring to the chemical elements he used, or the components of the elements like neutrons, etc.

I think the important part of the message was GOD created man out of NOTHINGNESS, base materials, and made him what he is. That he gave man free will and the ability to know the difference between good and evil, and man, being weak, was seduced by Satan in the form of a Serpent and disobeyed God. Consequently all kinds of bad things happened to him, and he was lost until God sent a savior to redeem him.

The rest of the message is not as important as those points to my thinking.
