>>11887943>god made man first from mud and then blowing air through his nostrils to give him lifeLet's just clear this up.
The word used for what Adam was made of is Aphar and was a very broad term
dry soil, dust, earth, ground, heap, debris, dirt, all use that word but the more interesting one is it was also used for ashes of any kind, from burnt tender to burnt flesh, interesting right? Well the next one gets even stranger
The word for breath or air used there is Ruach and it has a wide breath of uses
air, and breath are there but also it's used for anger, courage, grief, heart, inspired, mind, motives, why such a large pool of meaning because the core is what we would see as soul or spirit.
Knowing these two words it's possible God could have been a flesh crafter that at best was making homunculi and at worse was recycling one way or another the humans already around him(that are credited as his creations too in 1:27)
