Soil and our genetic make up

[Hall7]

Yes littleflower. He breathed life into us, the spirit and the soul, our bodies are only a suit case for the life within.

Hello Hall7

 

Thanks for the thread and I also like the definition you found.......

"The human body is made up of materials found on the surface of the ground. 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."

 

I don't see any problem, with the LORD, using soil that He made, to create a human body!

I did do some research online about dirt and our DNA but there are many arguments about this subject. I did like this answer though: Yes, the human body is made up of materials found on the surface of the ground. 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.

 

Yes, I read an article on this a couple of years ago.  God created us from dust; the proof is in the chemical analysis.  Not that most of us needed any.

Sorry Jeff I have to disagree with you on the DNA issue. DNA is real, all things were created by God and we aren't smart enough to know the hows and whys of all of God's creation.

 

Isaiah 55:8-9English Standard Version (ESV)

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Psalm 139:13-18English Standard Version (ESV)

13 For you formed my inward parts;
    you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.

Maybe there's something about the English language having more words for every possible kind of dirt.

Science is not evil... Science helps us appreciate God more...

Yes, it sure does.  God is where all science comes from after all.

So I think Jesus used dirt to heal the blind man's eyes because it contains everything a human body is made of. It restored his eyes through the earth's molecules that were used to create the eyes of a human being. That mixed with some of Jesus' own DNA through saliva.

I understand what you're saying Hall, but what I don't understand is Jesus can heal just by speaking to be, why did he need the mud?

Thats what questions me also. Maybe to give us an example of what we are able to do through faith and Earth molecules?
