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.
The dust is the terra forma the body of flesh is created for.
The breath of life is the spirit the body of flesh is given, to start its biomechanical chemistry processes.
The man (human) became a living soul, means that the biomechanical body, that worked on chemistry, became much more than a biomechanical robot with a predetermined function, in that it had self identity, a free will, an intrinsic awareness that other created creatures didn't have.
The animals have only a patented biomechanical chemistry assigned to them, allowing their inbuilt robot like functions to adapt and to survive on instinct alone, without having any comprehension of self awareness. The animals are the natural AI elements of creation and they are merely the first attempt of God to use, so that Adam will not be lonely. Yet, God knew that AI programs in the natural realm, would not serve the deep desire of a conscious self aware being and so he genetically took from man an X gene and made the XX chromosome which resulted in a woman. A woman was bore out of a man, his side, meaning his genome X.
The origin of man is God's breath. The origin of a woman is from man's side.
Sure, elephants go to the dead bones of relatives and perform the act of weeping, but this is merely an inbuilt programmed feature, it is not an awareness of self in the making.
Remembering the pets like dogs and cats have an inbuilt emulation AI creation programme that allows them to be man's companion, for that is what God created animals for. In esssence, the AI is adapting to situation, but it is not an awareness of self. After the fall, another programme was added as a corruption to man's corruption and so that animals became fair game and animals were given the function to defend themselves against man and other animals.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Bio chemistry perisheth with the perishing of the biomechanical body, but the self aware self, is immaterial and is not part of the material realm, it is written.....
man became a living soul....in that God did not use the tools of the material realm to make the soul, rather man just became, meaning......there was no material content from the material realm that was used and no inherent function as compared to the functions the plants and animals were given, where man just became, meaning he was not merely a chemistry realisation of brain/chemistry matter thought processes that began, but aside from the brain/chemistry matter thought processes, the man became from that instant, without any biomechanical chemistry markers, remembering that the brain/matter/chemistry of a material living organism was already functional and breathing after the breath of life, but that something else, that is immaterial was there irrespective of the living organism itself. Man just became, just like God is the I Am, man just became at that moment.
Animals didn't just became, but they only are AI Living organisms, operating on predefined functions, that can be adaptable from AI unit to AI unit depending on learning function. A Chimp, can be taught everything a man is, as a companion, but can never be made self aware, even though it would look in a mirror and immulate everything a man is, but it will always be bound by the constraints of its programming.
Man just became, is a moment where man became self aware, irrespective of the body that self awareness was clothed with. This same self awareness is a transient state that is temporarily bound by a biomechanical earthly body and once the biomechanical body dies, the transient conscious state now departs into the ethereal realm not comprised of material itself. This realm is a darkened state, yet God clothes this naked state, with a celestial body, fit for conscious habitation in the light world that is beyond the earthly dust world and this is the new heaven and the new earth existence.
Man has sought immortality throughout the ages and with technology, man cannot cloth a soul with another totally different body interface, hence they only play with dirt in the mud and have no access or control to the transient state of the soul and hence prolonging life would mean sustaining the mechanical body chemistry with continued life support by technological means and yet the soul will not cleave onto iron (cybernetic technology) and clay (dirt interface) and will inherently leave to go to the ethereal realm, yet the scientists will only realise that all they have is an AI programme after the self aware being is long gone. One can imagine that if a soul is a glimmer of light on a soul radar, then as the failed venture takes him to AI technology, the glimmer of light as emulated on X Men movie, is slowly demishing, where there will be no light in this world or the origin of man (flesh self aware being) and all that remains is a horror flick of West World robots roaming the plain with no purpose. Like a factory that is run by robots, for no apparent serving purpose, even after the developers are long gone, continues to run as a ghost city.
The self is not our thoughts.
