And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
- God created man by first forming a lifeless human body, either by manually sculpting it from the moist dirt recently watered by the mist mentioned in the previous verse, or by fashioning it through some other process from elements present on the earth, and then causing the body to become alive by a process described as breathing the breath of life into the body via the nostrils, which sounds a bit like artificial respiration. Needless to say, a lot of detail seems to be missing from this account.
