Ok, you came from dirt!
As far as YOU coming from "ooze," no YOU didn't: you came from mom and dad. But going back a few billion years, I guess you could call it ooze.
You're making it personal and emotional; as a nurse you should know better than that--science tries to be as objective as possible (though it surely does not always succeed).
Best to you and yours,

No, you came from dust and to dust you shall return. Star Dust.
All the material in your body, heavier than Hydrogen and Helium, was created in hearts of ancient stars which novaed, later to coalesce into other star(s) which also eventually novaed, the dust of which finally formed our star, Sol and its family of planets and YOU.
This isn't some silly superstition, it is fact. You are free, of course, to ignore the obvious.
It lists *one* (Archaeoraptor). And before someone makes the common creationist implication that this was somehow a hoax promulgated by dishonest evolutionists, it was instead concocted by a Chinese peasant fossil gatherer who knew that "complete" fossils were worth more money when sold than partial fossils. So he joined two separate fossils as if they were two parts of a single broken slab and sold it to the next collector who came along.
Through a comedy of errors, including miscommunications and a deadline rush, National Geographic ended up touting it as a newly discovered transitional fossil in one of their issues, *before* it had been properly examined and verified. Significantly, two science journals rejected articles about the fossil specimen because there had not been time to independently verify it, and they were not willing to just take National Geographic's word for it.
Within *days* of National Geographic's issue hitting the stands, professionals raised pointed questions about the specimen, and within mere weeks it had been discredited and National Geographic admitted their error.
So far from this being an example of "sloppy or dishonest science", as creationists keep trying to hint that it is, it is instead an excellent example of how careful science is and how quickly it discovers error or dishonesty.
So what else ya got?
I absolutely do not believe my existence is pure accident and that I came from ooze.
You are welcome to believe any comforting thing you wish to embrace.
But the moment you misrepresent the reasons that the scientific community has come to certain conclusions to the contrary, expect to be called on it.
Case in point, evolution is hardly a matter of "pure accident". To call it that is to misrepresent it.
The Bible says God made man from clay. What's the difference?
What if evolution is God's method?
Yes the missing link fossil frauds are numerous...and the fact is you and the rest of us came from God, to whom we will have to answer one day very soon.
I feel sorry for those who deny creation or attempt to corrupt it by mixing godless evolution with creation.
By the way I was once a devout evolutionist.
