Miracles of the Dust
Illustration★★★★Professor E. Slosson of Washington, an analytical chemist of high reputation, declares that the amazing accuracy of verbal detail which distinguishes the Bible, even in chemistry, has driven him to render homage to the “Book of books” as the “Word of God.” The second chapter of Genesis states that God formed man of the “dust of the ground.” Prof.
Slosson assures that these simple words are charged with the deepest scientific meaning. He says that “the dust of the ground” contains just fourteen out of the ninety-two chemical elements known to science, and that the flesh of man is composed of precisely the same fourteen elements.
English scientists also confirm this interesting statement as a recognized fact of chemical science.
The point
A chemistry professor notes that the Bible's statement that man was formed from 'dust of the ground' is chemically accurate—human flesh contains precisely the same 14 elements found in earth's dust.
