Where does air come from according to the Bible? Was it air that YHWH breathed into Adam's nose? If so, how can air be created when it is a part of YHWH?

The messiah breathed into the apostles and said: Get the holy spirit. What does that mean? Is the holy spirit in the air?
Can information be transmitted through air?

Before time began I would think that there was no air. God is a Spirit and does not need to breathe.
In Hebrews 11:3 we find the biblical premise for atoms in the subject of science.
Clearly, air is made up of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide and a few other elements.
So yes, it very likely is a created substance.
Also, humans and animals have a symbiotic relationship to plants in that they breathe in what we breathe out and vice versa.

I don't believe that, because God speaks and can smell, and for that one need breath or not?
Which is very interesting: In the name YHWH the word breath is present twice, and these are the two letters H.

The breath of God...the Holy Spirit is like the wind...He breathed life into them (Holy Spirit)
I believe air itself was created with everything else when "time" started.

He is not... but we must also think logically. God can speak and smell, and for that you need air. Without air no living being can smell, speak and sing. Noah sacrificed the animals, and the Bible said, "And God smelled the sweet smell."
So God also uses air, so how can air be created if he uses it himself?

This would be like saying that air existed before God! God is all in all and can do anything He pleases, including enjoying His own creation...His beauty in the sunset, forests, oceans, flowers, His children! He "needs" nothing, He is all in all self sufficient in every way. I wish I had a more direct answer to your questions but, some things are beyond our understanding.
What makes you think so? What I am trying to say is that air is a part of him, it is his nature. God himself is breath, in his name YHWH the term breath appears twice.
David asked: "Where can I hide from God's spirit? When I go up to heaven, he is there. If I go deep into the earth, he is there." And what covers the whole earth? Breath. Everywhere is breath. Can we live without God? No. So there must be always something of God in us, what can it be if not air?
The Bible never said anything about God eating and drinking, but that He smells is often mentioned. And to smell is to breathe!

Science lesson: God's creation, the universe, is made up of matter. This includes air, which is mostly made up of the gasses nitrogen and oxygen. Gases are one state of matter. Two other common states of matter are liquids and solids.

Um, and neither did I say a thing about God eating and drinking.

I'm thinking you need to re-read your posts here. Good day and God Bless You.

Sorry, janc, but I have no idea what you mean by this. You asked where air comes from, and I told you. God created it.
