This is a more detailed account of how God created man. God Himself breathed life into man to make man a living soul. So man is unique from all other living creatures. Beasts, fish, and fowl were created by God on previous days. Only man had his first breath from God, and only man was made in the image and likeness of God.
So God is made of dust?

This is so unbelievably wrong I don't even know where to begin.

Probably that the junk he posted in no way reflects the actual Theory of Evolution? Just my guess.

Man is not a beast, a fowl, or a fish. God said that He created man in "our image and likeness". This is not true for a beast, fowl, or fish. "Our" is the reference to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit - the Triune God - the Holy Trinity. Man was the crown of God's Creation and was made a tripartite being (body, soul, and spirit). Man was given dominion over all living creatures. Further, man was given the intellect and moral capacity to be accountable to God. No other creature fits this description.
Genesis 2:7 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.
This is a more detailed account of how God created man. God Himself breathed life into man to make man a living soul. So man is unique from all other living creatures. Beasts, fish, and fowl were created by God on previous days. Only man had his first breath from God, and only man was made in the image and likeness of God. This is all we need to know. Man can choose to believe either God or Charles Darwin. I'll believe God and consider Darwin to be a fry short of a happy meal.

God said that man was perfect from the start. Man disobeyed God and was punished. It's called the "fall of man" - not the rise of man.

This thread generated a great number of reports and it is closing for staff review. If you prefer to flame each other instead of discussing there is no purpose to this!
Mod hat off
