It is taking great liberty to fit primate into the text. Why wouldn't God just say He breathed life into a hominid and not formed man from the ground?

You sure made a monkey out of yourself with THAT hermeneutic.
Thus, Genesis 3:19 is proven. ". . . for [a primate] thou art, and unto [a primate] shalt thou return."

Chicks dig a fella that can jam, no matter how big his ears are.:thumbs:
But, lest the point be missed . . .
Can you read "primate" into Gen. 3:19?
No?
Know why?

Over and over again raw materials are used to make something, or the something made is reduced to its raw materials, i.e. from raw materials to raw materials. -

I so agree with you, God formed and created man from the elements of the earth. The elements that HE created in the first place. -

Hi Webdog, my view is supported by how the word is used in scripture. Your view is but one (or two) possible specifics of raw materials. Dust is not plaster, dust is not animal ashes, dust is not a grave, and so forth. To deny that the word refers to raw materials, without study is eisegesis. You seem to be reading the traditional translation choice into the text, rather than letting the Bible present the meaning.

You're insistence that "dust" simply means "raw material of any form and source" is absurd, and, as shown twice by God's unequivocal usage of the term in the Creation narrative, just plain wrong.
If a laboratory tech asked you for a list of the elements, and you brought him a chart of primate physiology, you'd both have lost your jobs, you for your absurdity and he for slapping you for it. -
