It's not clear that this passage requires an instantaneous creation of
man. Breathing is a process (and a metaphor in this case, I surmise),
and it would seem reasonable for this act to be as time-consuming in
nature (though arguably shorter in duration) than the rest of the sixth
day creation work. I'm not insisting on this, just observing that there
appears to be room for a non-instant creation of man in the text as
written. JimA
