[size=large]The Necessity of Air 2[/size]
In the creation of the animals that populated the earth, one thing they shared in common was the need for oxygen to sustain life. Air is a combination of gases in which oxygen forms about 21 percent of the total product (our entire atmosphere weighs about five thousand trillion tons!). Other component gases include nitrogen, argon, helium, hydrogen, and small trace gases. The amount of oxygen in the air is the ideal percentage for the breathing requirements of the creatures God made. It is another testimony to the carefulness and precision that God used in creating us.
What was the unique way God used air in the creation of Adam? Genesis 2:7 (New King James Version) "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." How does this account differ from the account of how God created the other creatures? What does this tell us about ourselves, about our uniqueness in the eyes of God?
Air obviously was important in the creation of all animals, in that all these animals need air to exist. Yet, the creation of humanity was different. God
