Gen 2:7 reads (NASB) "Then the LORD God formed man of dust from
the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living being."
Well, Shuan, this clearly refers to Adam the individual - the
guy who lived in Eden by the four rivers in Gen 2:8-14. As to
what people thought in the past, um, that's irrelevant considering
that we have more knowledge now. As to Dick's interpretation
being in the minority, well, at one time so was the thought of
a round earth.

I'm gonna choose to ignore this.
