One's breath includes the molecules that are inhaled and exhaled - molecules that are... material!

The additional verses you provide don't change the context in the least. What other context could there possible be? Read in context it plainly says that the resurrected Christ is spirit. The resurrected Christ has a body of flesh and bone. (See Phillipians 3:21.) Christ with his body of...

But there are verses that say that people are spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [Christ] was made a quickening spirit. John 3:6 That which is born of...

There is nothing in this verse that rules out God speaking to unformed matter and having it shaped to His liking. No one else speaks to nothing. Why would God? "framed by the word of God" assumes starting with some sort of raw material. Absolute nothing can't be framed. Regarding this...

The "Gap Theory" is plainly contradicted by the highly regarded translation of Genesis 1:1-3 by E.A. Speiser in the Anchor Bible Series is as follows: When God set about to create heaven and earth – the world being a formless waste, with darkness over the seas…- God said, “Let there be light.”...
