And not just man. The whole Earth was made from dust particles in orbit around the primitive sun, as were all the other solid objects in the solar system.

According to Genesis, God formed man from the dust of the ground, and named him Adam, and then he took one of Adams ribs and made it into a woman-eve.

创世纪的记载，上帝首先造出男人原初模型的亚当并用亚当的肋骨创造了第一个女人夏娃。
