You tell us, you're the expert on God and how scripture should be interpreted. We (I) are mere mortal atheists and can only interpret what we read by the words scripture is written.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.
How so? jan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_creation_narrativeTwo creation stories are found in the first two chapters of the Book of Genesis. In the first Elohim, the Hebrew generic word for God, creates the heavens and the earth in six days, then rests on, blesses and sanctifies the seventh.
In the second story, God, now referred to by the personal name Yahweh, creates Adam, the first man, from dust and places him in the Garden of Eden, where he is given dominion over the animals. Eve, the first woman, is created from Adam and as his companion.
You realize of course that if you did not accept the "written word" in the olden days, you would be persecuted and "put to the test".
