I think the term “dust” was figurative for a lower life form. On the other hand, He could have been referring to the chemical elements he used, or the components of the elements like neutrons, etc.

I think the important part of the message was GOD created man out of NOTHINGNESS, base materials, and made him what he is. That he gave man free will and the ability to know the difference between good and evil, and man, being weak, was seduced by Satan in the form of a Serpent and disobeyed God. Consequently all kinds of bad things happened to him, and he was lost until God sent a savior to redeem him.

The rest of the message is not as important as those points to my thinking.

So Adam had non-human parents. And God didn’t create Eve at all like described in Scripture, because she had non-human parents as well.

I just can’t reconcile those narratives with what I read in Scripture. :-/

A clear reading of Scripture shows that God created Adam (with the appearance of age), He didn’t oversee his birth. And that Eve was specially created for Adam out of his rib.

Furthermore, the concept of death preceding sin is a very doctrinally problematic one. If Adam’s sin wasn’t the cause of death, then the Second Adam’s life-giving death is kind of baseless.
