  Chapter 2 of Genesis tells us that man was created from the dust of the ground, but man is mostly made of water. This must've been a sandy soil since there was no rain, and since no plants or animals were created to lay down the soil foundation which is made from decaying living organisms. He probably went to fetch some water from the layers of water in between which the stars reside.

  Anyway he forms this living soul, breathes into his nostrils and voila! All these atoms and molecules of his cells, tissues, and organs, frozen in a state of suspended animation, start to move and he is alive. Then he starts to create plants and animals that during this time of creation took their water only from plants because there was no rain to create puddles and the four rivers were wide apart. Two were in Babylon, another in Africa, and the other, who knows where.

  Jehovah then begins to look for a mate for Adam but maybe because DNA incompatibility are not accepted by Adam so J anesthetizes him and makes him a mate created from Adam's ribs. This makes human females the only living souls created from living tissue, all other beings created from either water or dust/earth.

  This again brings some interesting issues:

  Notice that J always uses some materials to create others.

  If Adam was created a male, he had to have a Y chromosome.

  Why did Eve not have those Y-chromosomes from his ribs?

  Did J alter those chromosomes to become X?

  Since J used Adam's genetic material to make Eve, wouldn't actually Adam be copulating with his modified clone?

  If Eve was created from Adam, she is really a descendant from Adam. Wouldn't this really make humans descendent from Adam only?

  If J messed with Mary's genes to create Jesus, wouldn't that be the opposite of Adam and Eve by creating a man from only a woman?

  Would Jesus then have a right to the throne of David?

  If J put his own DNA into Mary to make Jesus, wouldn't that make him a demigod like Hercules, and not a true man?

  If J uses DNA to resurrect people in JWs paradise, Where is it stored?

  If J gives back people bodies with different DNA when returned to life, wouldn't it be reincarnation rather than resurrection?

  Exactly. You should have been a Bible writer.

  Faraon,

  The Adam and Eve account in Genesis 2 is just a story. It is a story written before anyone ever knew about chromosomes and
  long before DNA was known about or even proven to be the molecule that conveys inheritance.

  As for Jesus, if there is no soul separate from the body, and no unique individual life-force, then when Jesus was no longer in heaven but
  transferred to the womb of a human female, what made that single cell uniquely Jesus and the same Jesus that once existed in heaven
  as a non-fleshly non-DNA based life-form?

  Faraon,

  Here's another question. If J can restore dead humans by building a new body from remembered/stored DNA and re-inserting their
  previous memories, where are those memories held? If J remembers everything that everyone who has died knew and remembered
  during their lifetime are those memories dead or alive in God? If those memories are alive in God do humans really die or do their
  thoughts live on in God's great memory chest.

  This could only mean, gasp, that the bible is not the word of god. God does not lie,you unsaved pagan. You'll burn in hell forever and ever. Either that or we need Joseph Smith to provide us with an updated version of the bible.

  As for Jesus, if there is no soul separate from the body, and no unique individual life-force, then when Jesus was no longer in heaven but transferred to the womb of a human female, what made that single cell uniquely Jesus and the same Jesus that once existed in heaven as a non-fleshly non-DNA based life-form?

  But then it would mean that Jesus was not really of human ascendancy, since he didn't inherit genes from humans. That would not fulfill the scriptures! Blasphemer, you'll burn at the stake after being stretched in the rack!

  Here's another question. If J can restore dead humans by building a new body from remembered/stored DNA and re-inserting their previous memories, where are those memories held?

  Are you implying that J would have bad thoughts stored in his memory? That'll mean that he does not have a clean mind. You'll be disfellowshipped for this!

  If J remembers everything that everyone who has died knew and remembered during their lifetime are those memories dead or alive in God? If those memories are alive in God do humans really die or do their thoughts live on in God's great memory chest.

  Hey, J has perfect memory; he does not need rainbows to remind him of things. J never forgets anything. The damned dead are erased from his memory. No wait, that can't be. You are deliberately trying to confuse me, you agent of Satan. No, wait, he would have to have Satan's thoughts in his mind too. Aaarrggg. 10 Holy Mary's and 5 Our Fathers for you.
