In Genesis we read that God created man from the dust and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Now some Christians believe this means that God took an ape-like creature and breathed a soul into it, making it human.
But consider that after Adam sinned, God said, “you [will] return to the ground, for out of it you were taken, for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
When Adam died, he returned to the dust he was made from, not to an apelike creature! If Adam wasn’t literally created from the dust of the ground this verse is meaningless!
We didn’t evolve from apelike creatures; we were specially made by God.
