Another look at this stuff called dust...

Joni Mitchell sang, "We Are Stardust" and begins with the lyrics, I came upon a child of God....

Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being. Genesis 2:7


Dust and God's breath; what a combination! 

Dust is made up of a combination of dead skin cells, pollen, hair, textile fibers, paper fibers, soil minerals, and cosmic dust particles....

Cosmic means relating to the universe--especially as distinct from the earth....

Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars.... He calls them all by name.... Not one of them is missing. Isaiah 40:26 ....Almost 99% of our bodies are made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus. Stars are made of 73% hydrogen, 25% helium....

All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Ecclesiastes 3:20

From dust to dust,...

Well, dear child of God, it seems that astrophysics and human biology are connected, and Joni Mitchell was on to something.

Before the mountains were born,
 before you gave birth to the earth and the world, 
from beginning to end,
you are God.
 Psalm 90....
