    And I read in english

    2.6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the
    ground-
    2.7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into
    his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

    So Adam was made of mud (or do we have interpret something)?

    Interpret? Interpret? Surely that is not allowed ;)

    In the 50's Tennessee Ernie Ford had a song called "16 Tons". The first line was
    "Some people say a man is made out of mud."

    Biblical literalist no doubt.
