Beyond what the Bible says, no, neither I nor anyone else can distinctly and positively say what happened. That's right. Only God the Creator can say how life came about in a technical sense, and it is not his purpose to describe that to mankind.
There is nothing “technical” about using the old superstition saying “God did it”.
“God did it”, isn’t an explanation for anything, let alone creating life.
Only fools believe that a human come from dust of the ground, soil, that are brought to life, simply because God blew air into man-shaped dust or soil.
Humans sprouting from the ground, have been recorded in Egyptian and Sumerian, as far back as mid to late 3rd millennium BCE, especially made from clay (soil).
In the Egyptian myth from the cities of Esna and of Elephantine, humans were made from clay and water, shaped by the ram-headed god Khnum on his potter’s wheel. The images of Khnum using a potter wheel appeared in paintings and relief sculptures.
In another Egyptian myth, from Heliopolis, the god Atum or the later sun god Ra, shed some tears that fallen to the ground, humans sprung from them.
There are a number of variations of Sumerian myths, where gods created humans from clay.
In the story of the hoe (Song of the Hoe), Enlil used a farming instrument, the hoe, cutting opening ground, which reveal the heads of humans.
In Enki and Ninmah, the god and goddess compete in creating humans.
There are other stories, perhaps the same one, but started with Enki (in Akkadian-Babylonian, his name was translated to Ea) creating humans with the help of mother goddesses, including Ninhursag (Akkadian-Babylonian Belet-lli). Enki would cut and mold the clay into shapes, while the goddesses brought primeval water of Abzu (Akkadian-Babylonian Aspu).
In the Old Babylonian Epic of Atrahasis, Ea used clay, and the blood of sacrificed god of intelligence, not water, to created humans.
Even the hero Enkidu, a companion of Gilgamesh, was made from clay and water.
These myths predated all known versions of the Abrahamic creation myths (eg Genesis 2, the Qur’an). There is nothing unique about.
What creationists don’t seem to understand, whether it be silt soil or clay soil, soils have something in common, they are made from minerals known as silicate, rock minerals broken and wore down by weathering. The most common types of silicates found in all types of soils are - feldspar, mica and quartz.
The more granular sandy soil, are made from quartz. The less granular silt can either be made from quartz or feldspar. While the more powdery when dry or more plasticity when wet, the mineral origin of clay is mica.
There are no organic matters in soils, unless it is introduced into the soil by the following:
- bacteria,
- or decomposing of dead animals or dead plants,
- or from urine and fece of animals,
- or from shedding of hair, fur or skin of animals.
None of these silicate minerals are found in human body, not even in trace amount.
Plus, humans have always being naturally reproduced and born, they don’t come sprouting out of the ground. Only some with no education in science (like biology) would believe in such myths with “god did it” superstition.
