I do. But I might be special.
I think you can understand the verse yourself by understanding the words.
The verse in green, it says we created human from a string of chain made of clay,
the same word means genetics or descent, usually the quran uses one
word with several meanings to explain the meaning of the verse.
OK, so clay is actually a family of minerals. There are several different types of clay. But *none* of them have the composition of elements in the human body.
There are suspicions that clays are relevant to catalysis of certain reactions related to abiogenesis, but life isn't made of clay.

If life isn't the product of earth, then where life came from?
The crust of the Earth doesn't have the elements of life. But on the early Earth, the atmosphere and the ocean did. Life arose in water, not on land.

Huh? What elements are lacking?

And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth) (23:12)

In clay? Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus,
Conversely, life has very little aluminum or silicon, which are primary elements in clay.
Mix water with the atmosphere then life appears, no need for a land.
Life is a chemical process. Most of the elements for early life were either in the water or the atmosphere. The aluminum-silicates of land were not the originators of life, except possibly through catalytic activity.

Is that like a try at parody? It makes no sense at all.

Ok, depends on the purity of the clay. But the q was not about clay, as such but this..The crust of the Earth doesn't have the elements of life.

Scientists don't agree with you.
Life on Earth Began on Land, Not in Sea?
First cells likely arose in steamy mud pots, study suggests.

Perhaps you have special moderator powers. I had the bright idea to see what I could see on my tablet. It does not even show that an image failed to load.

Technically it does, but the concentration levels of various elements are nowhere near being the same.

and no one has mentioned.....primitive earth had a poisonous atmosphere
life in water was needful to condition the air for greater forms of life
it's like stirring a kettle
bring it up to boil
let it cool
the chemistry changes
evolution is real enough
but Man had a kick in the head while in the garden
(so to speak)

"poisonous" to what? All possible life forms?
I believe some bacteria eat hydrogen sulfide.
