Yes, it does speak about the mechanics. In the Hebrew text, not the English translations we all commonly find.
Genesis 2:7
"Then the LORD God formed man of dust
from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a living being."
God would have said he took a chimp, blessed him, and transformed him into a man. That is what we would read in the Bible if the evolution model that evolutionists cling to was used by God. But, God's Word does not do that.
God could have easily have conveyed the concept to fit the evolutionist's paradigm. But he makes it clear that it was not the way he used in bringing man into being. He shows the evolutionist's that he could have brought man into being by means of evolution. He does so in the following passage.
Genesis 3:14
"The LORD God said to the serpent,
"Because you have done this,
Cursed are you more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you will go,
And dust you will eat
All the days of your life."
God took this creature with legs (which was created to be the most crafty by nature - quick and subtle) and instantly
transformed the biological function of the serpent into a creature that now crawled on his belly. This notion Creationists often times hear from Evolutionists, that God could not have conveyed to ancient men the concept of transforming a chimp into a man, is patently false.
Now... more mechanics.
What did the Lord breath into the nostrils of the body that He had formed and molded [Hebrew = yatsar] from the dust/elements of the earth?
That formed body had flesh and bones, but was lifeless as it lay there. No soul was yet in that body. It was simply a biological vehicle that did not yet have its engine turned on. The driver (the human soul) of that biological vehicle was yet to enter and have God turn on the ignition.
Adam's soul? Where did that soul come from?
In Genesis 2:7, the Hebrew says the the Lord took existing material, material that was already created, and it says God
yatsar ...
molded and formed it from elements the Lord had extracted from the dirt. The Lord as a potter made it into the form of the first human body. Yet, it was yet a lifeless body.
If we look back to Genesis 1:27, we find different Hebrew words being used for the creation of man. Man that was
created in the image of God. Image = the SOUL.
The human body is not the man. The soul is. The body is only the means for the soul to connect to the created life within the sphere of what we commonly refer to as.
"time and space." God lives outside of the realm of time and space in an uncreated (eternal) sphere.
Lets look at Genesis 1:27 in the Hebrew.
"So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them."
We do not see God 'forming' man here. The word for molding and forming,
yatsar is not used in the Hebrew in 1:27. Instead, we see a Hebrew word,
bara. "Bara" can have a unique meaning that can only be manifested when spoken of in direct reference to God.
The Hebrew word
"Bara." Its the same word used when speaking in reference to God creating the Heavens and Earth.
IN THE BEGINNING. God, and only God can create something
'out from nothing.' Man's soul was created 'out from nothing.' His body? Was
formed and molded out from what had already been created in the material world,
'from the elements of the dirt.'
In Genesis 1:27 we can not see man. It says he was created. Its says that
God saw, not us. In contrast. In Genesis 2:7, we are placed in a scene where we can see the body that had been formed and molded by God.
In Genesis 1:27, God created the male and female souls,
out from nothing. The soul has never ending life. The soul is invisible to the human eye. The soul is immaterial substance that God created in His image. Like God is invisible and immaterial, having Eternal life.
So, God first created man - the human soul (Genesis 1:27).
Then God provided a home for that soul, so it can become a living soul while being placed into the spheres of time and space. That home was the material human body.
Now? If God wanted to say we came from a chimp?
He could have!
It would have been easy.
A reversed example of such a transformation is recorded in the Bible. Where a man is transformed into a lower state, that of an animal.
Daniel 4:30-33
"The king reflected and said, 'Is this not Babylon
the great, which I myself have built as a royal
residence by the might of my power and for the
glory of my majesty?'
"While the word was in the king's mouth, a voice
came from heaven, saying, 'King Nebuchadnezzar,
to you it is declared: sovereignty has been removed
from you, and you will be driven away from mankind,
and your dwelling place will be with the beasts of
the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle,
and seven periods of time will pass over you until
you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the
realm of mankind and bestows it on
whomever He wishes.'
"Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar
was fulfilled; and he was driven away from mankind
and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was
drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown
like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws."
The notion that we can not see evolution mentioned in the Bible was because man was too primitive to grasp the concept? As we can read right there, in Daniel? Is a big lie. God could have shown how some good chimp was blessed and transformed into the first man!
God could have very easily taken some good chimp and caused just the opposite that He had to King Nebuchadnezzar. That way, men reading the Bible would have easily accepted a notion of evolutionary change. A notion which later generations with its scientific understanding could explain to men how God did it.
Yet? What the Bible does state is that man having evolved from a chimp is a lie. Worse yet. That the Bible is a lie. Your choice!
