From Dust to Man: A Scientific Proof
May 25, 2007 by Bro. Eli
They alleged that the creation of Adam is an ‘anti-scientific nonsense’, and God did not create Adam from a handful of dust, like the Bible says. To my readers, see how these blatant liars are ‘wrestling’ the words of the Bible. Their allegation and their pre-conceived idea are not written in the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible can you find a verse that Adam was created by God from a handful of dust. What is written is recorded in Genesis 2:7, which says:
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
While it is true that God created man from the dust of the ground, the phrase “handful of dust” is absent in the verse! It is conceived it the minds of these perverts. Be that as it may, the information in the Bible is scientific! Granting, without accepting, that there is such a thing as a ‘handful of dust’, whose hands will be the measuring hands for the dust that God will use in the formation of Adam? People who cremate the dead have an idea of how much dust will be left of the human body after cremation. I am sure it is not a sack of dust; but very close to a handful — depending on the hands that holds them. And why is it scientific? God made man from the dust; and when his body dies it decomposes and turns again to dust.
(Genesis 3:19) “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”
What are the scientific proof that man’s body came from the dust of the ground, as the Bible says? The human body is made up of materials and minerals found on the surface of the ground, and not from the core of the earth. Oxygen, being the most abundant element on the earth’s crust or on the ground, makes up 65 percent of the human body, and carbon, also abundant on the top soil of the ground, is 18 percent, and hydrogen is 10 percent. The 59 elements found in the human body are all found on the earths crust. This is amazing because what the Bible says perfectly match the scientific composition of a human body.
The ignorance of these ‘imaginary people’ in what the Bible says betrays their alleged intelligence and knowledge in science. Of course, the human body is not made up only of dust, but God mixed the dust to water to produce clay.
(Job 10:9) “Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?”
(Romans 9:20-21) “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?”
The mixture is clay, understandably contains more water than dust. Who says that the information in the Bible is scientifically nonsense? They are the one’s that are nonsensical, and not the Bible!
The exact proportion of the minerals and materials, if maintained, make up a healthy human body (http://www.emory.edu/EMORY_REPORT/erarchive/1998/September/erseptember.21/9_21_98Size.html). Excesses in these materials will cause disorders and diseases. Excess of aluminum, for example, and iron, will be toxic for the human body. The proportions of the abundance of the 59 elements on the earths crust, is amazingly represented in its presence in the human body. Who says that the Bible is not scientific? These ‘imaginary and anti-scientific people’!
The Man/M(inister)E(li)S(oriano)senger of God in our era makes science more interesting!
It is also through Bro. Eli that I have appreciated how wonderful and vast is God’s love for us. Imagine, even if we’re from dusts, once we choose to be Jesus’ servants, God gives us the privilege to be His heirs/heiress.
Indeed, the Bible is scientific. Nevertheless, where science fails, prayers prevail.
Such overwhelming enlightenment!
Once again, Bro. ELi has made writing history!
No one ever has expounded topics like these!
Thank God for YOU Bro. Eli Soriano!!!!!!!
You and your loved ones are always in the prayers of our righteous brethren!!!
We love and miss you dearly!!!
exact science goes hand in hand with the Bible. any “scientific” claim that contradicts the Bible is not an exact scientific fact. I can say this with might, Bro Eli is backing me up
i can’t imagine how small the brain of these “imaginary people”??
We thank you LORD for having a preacher like Bro. Eli.
We are grateful for your loving kindness and understanding, you remember us that we are dust and yet you loved us so much.
That, you gave your only begotten son, in order for us to have everlasting life and a chance to be with you in paradise. Truely your ways are magnificent and full of care.
This blog of Bro. Eli exemplifies the scientific accuracy of Biblical Account about God’s creation of man. This is just an addition to tons of reason why we should completely trust in the Bible. The scientific, historical and prophetic accurray of this best selling book gave it a genuine seal that the Bible or the Holy Scriptures really is the “the” inspired word of God!
A very exceptional devotion, God given to us.
We’re blessed to know these knowledge by a truly Man of God.
I was really amazed and enlightened how Bro. Eli revealed to us the real pronouncment of the bible in this topic. A lot of people are erred and are mislead because of the stupidity and villousnes of these people who malign the purity of God’s words. Now that there is Bro. Eli who sent by God to wrestle wicked craftmanship of these people to save those who are on the claws of these vile ” imaginary people”.
Scripture: “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have Eternal Life; and these things are they that testify of Me”.
John 5:39
Based in these CHRIST teaching of Assurance our hope rooted! Not from senseless perverts that even the present world knowledge testifies of their undefiled follies and lies against their most absurd claim.
More Power to THE BEST BLOGGER!
GOD Bless in CHRIST!
What a load of nonsene. Just because two things have the same ingridients, it doesn’t mean that one caused the other.
Thank GOD 4 someone like you BRO.ELI!!Im so blessed to have you in my life!GOD is good after a long journey in this world i found you!!!!
Surely Bro. Eli Soriano gave justice to this article: “FROM DUST TO MAN: A scientific proof”. If anyone is going to oppose him about this article, then there is only one thing I can say to that person, “YOU ARE STUPID”. Why did I say this, because it is clearly explained, in a step-by-step manner (with scientific back-up).
Our Bro. Eli Soriano is really a man of God (and I can prove this with the help of GOD Almighty). He does not seek his own glory but the glory of GOD. He is always submissive to the will of God. A real treasure not only to us (members of the Church of God International) but also (permit me to say this, because this is true), to the whole world.
Listen to his words of wisdom, read straight from the Bible, without deceit, and PURE OF TRUE LOVE.
Amen
Stupid Atheists!!! He he he he
Man’s creation as mentioned in the bible is more credible than Darwin’s theory of evolution which up to this generation has remained a theory. If you believe in God, it is easy to understand the bible’s account with a little scientific examination of man’s elemental body composition as explained by Bro Eli, the Messenger and Preacher endowed by the ALMIGHTY to understand the mysteries contained in the Holy Scripture. MARK4:11-…Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of GOD ; but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables. Just look at the old primates in the jungles or at the zoo. My granfparents saw them many years ago and most of them had given birth, but without any indication at all of any. slightest change of getting similar looks than man. The best way to understand that man was created out of the earth’s dust is to believe first in God, read the bible and get the guidance of GOD thru HIS Messenger Bro Eli, spend more time in his blog and or listen to him during bible expositions, Prayer Meetings, Thanksgivings, and Worship services and EVERYTHING WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU. Go on Bro Eli, we need you. GLORY TO GOD.

HELLO TO YOU BUWAYAHMAN!
CAN YOU TELL ME FROM WHERE DID THE FIRST MAN COME FROM?…..THAT YOU MAY JUSTIFY YOUR COMMENTS
AND ALSO, THAT WE CAN SEE IF WE NEED TO BELIEVE YOU RATHER THAN THE BIBLE.AND PLEASE SITE YOUR BASIS…OK? THANKS
God is the greatest scientist.
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Psalms 104:24
King James Version
Thanks be to GOD for the modern prophet that he provided us.
I know someday that the truth will prevail
and those stupid non GOD fearing human will turn into dust.
Gerj,
Your questions have no relationship to my argument. Maybe your persistent bible-reading has caused more ignorance in your part.
GLORY AND HONOR TO YOU ALMIGHTY GOD. May the PEACE OF THE LORD be unto you Bro Eli, Bro Daniel, ministers, workers, brethrens in the CHURCH OF GOD, and fellow bloggers, to include you buwayahman. Your post buwayahman is not an argument, it is an unsensible commentary without any basis nor support, thus should be disregarded. It is your not reading the bible or your not understanding it buwayahman that makes you ignorant of the scientific messages and information from GOD, passed on to us thru HIS vocal, clear, straightforward, sensible, and biblical Preacher and Messenger, Bro Eli. Thank you Bro Eli and Bro Daniel for your continuous spreading of GOD’s TRUTH, notwithstanding the threats and attempts to kill you and silence you at all cost thru the conspiracy of the leaders of the false churches and some corrupt Philippine government officials. We are always praying for you.
to buwayahman,
i don’t know why u can’t see the glaring truth abt d facts of science dat is said in d bible.i think u want to argue just for d heck of it.u’r mind is so close dat u can’t accept anything other than wat u deem of as true.
i just hope dat u can be wiser dan wat u are now.i can’t blame u coz it was said in d bible dat only d wise will understand d bible. Daniel 12:10
wat kind of life do u have now dat makes u warry of d bible?
i want u think ………maybe u are doing things now dat u know in ur conscience (if ever u have one)is not right????…….
God can see u……..if anything has happened to u or to ur family or love one,it’s not His fault….
I hope that u would reconsider abt ur views of the Bible…….
Nothing was proven here. All we have is the illusion of a scientific argument, designed to tell people what they allready want to hear. By the logic in this article, I can scientifically prove that the Inuit belief that -all the animals came from the dissevered fingers of the SeaGod’s daughter- is true. Observe! Human fingers share genetic code and elemental properties with the other animals of the earth! Proof!
The truth about it is that all these “Scientific” arguments for God are made by people who do not know what Science is. Science is objective study and observation of the natural world (not supernatural, or we would be forced to explore EVERY religion’s explanation). It is NOT scientific to begin with the conclusion “THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN GOD EXISTS, THE BIBLE IS UNQUESTIONABLY CORRECT” and then go about looking for things that support that.
True science has been done for hundreds of years, in hundreds of different fields, in hundreds of different ways… and all branches categorically support the theory of Evolution. Not the mythology of an ancient Hebrew Culture long since lost.
But to have faith in the BIBLE is to, by definition, not have the ability to think objectivly about it, or to even see why that is so important. So in conclusion, it is fine to believe the Bible if it is a more comforting idea than the conclusions of true science… but after hundreds of years of killing and Dark Ages in the name of Christ, and hundreds of years of medical, technological and life improvements from objective Science…
if man is to have a future that is bright, he cannot wallow in the darkness of his past.
Here’s the fundamental problem: Creationists and Scientists are both arguing their point trying to win… as if playing a game with a checkered board. But the Scientists are playing Chess while the Creationists are playing Checkers. The rules don’t apply to one another and so, even though there’s lots of battle, no one gets anywhere.
The Christians hold faith as the paragon of righteousness, while the Scientists hold faith as a blindness upon judgement.
The problem with Christians and all who follow the Old Testament creation story, have been taught that
1. The Bible cannot be wrong. and
2. Any thought of doubt, any argument against the Bible, is the Devil at work and you should fight any such thought without hesitation.
Thus many of us Christians are utterly incapable of viewing the Bible or Science objectively. It cannot be done. and that is the rift that has spurred so much bitter fighting.
Sorry, but there is NOTHING WAS PROVED in this article. Based on this article’s logic, I could just as easily claim to have “scientific proof” of the Inuit creation story where all animals came from the dissevered fingers of the daughter of the Sea God. Look! All animals have genetic coding similar to that found in all human cells! And they have almost identical elementary compositions! Proof!
Bro Eli is being far from scientific. He is starting with a Conclusion in mind: that GOD is the only answer, and then looking for ways to twist reasoning to support that conclusion.
Unfortunately, science HAS been done properly for centuries, for the most part separate from human fallability (unlike interpretations of the Bible) and every branch of science has come -on it’s own- to the same conclusion: Humans are just another twig of a huge evolutionary tree.
2 Days ago I posted a comment refuting the “scientific” claims made in this article in a frank and constructive manner.
Apparently my argument was deemed dangerous enough to warrant its removal from the post.
This makes it sound like there’s something to hide.
I assume this post will also be removed, so on this Christmas Day, I would ask for one gift: a renewal of FREE SPEECH.
The LORD God formed man of the dust of the groud, not God. By the way, the scripture does not say “a” man. It says man. Preachers added the “a”. They say, it was Ad’am and Ad’am was a man.
Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Ad’am. In the day that God created MAN, in the likeness of God made He him; Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called THEIR NAME AD’AM. The male and the female were called Ad’am.
Looks like we need a little education on learning how to read a sentence.
Ignorance is a lack of knowledge, education and experience. Many people are ignorant to the word “dust”.
How much knowledge do any of you have to the word”dust”?Have you ever looked the word up?
Dust is anything easily supended through the air. It is worthless, useless and no good for nothing. Dust is no merit. Does this sound like a human body being formed? This is not a body being formed.
Now think about this for a while. What is worthless,useless, no good for nothing and has no merit? Dust is anything easily suspended through the air? I’ll give you timt to figure that one out.
I have a book comming out called Man of Dust. It explains everything.
