No.... one cannot let science enter into the picture. Given their propensity they mostly are in it to disprove that God created life in their quest to find a way to make life as it is.
@Ziggy asked a valid question. Also, Much could be ashed where did flesh come from the dirt that God molded?
Or teeth, or dna for that matter.
God breathed "the breath of life into his nostrils"
It would not necessarily be a stretch to believe that within God's breathing life into Adam that this is where the blood entered into Adam.
I submit we are not supposed to know. WHY? For the very simple reason that if one "knows" and "understands" all... we no longer will walk by faith... it will be by sight and therefore ensues more then one problem.
How is it that no one seems to see something I do?
In Genesis one we are told
26Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”
27So God created man in His own image;in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
They were created as male AND female... and were given orders .... (read the chapter)
These people were not Adam and Eve.
First they are told to multiply, and they are told to take care of all the earth (Even a regional area would be large)
Genesis 2 tells us about the Garden of Eden... complete with descriptions.
15Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
What would happen to the rest of the earth?
18The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
Animals... not woman???
22And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him
But in Gen 1 male/female were the creations (in the same verse) ... Gen 2 Adam was made and had there been a Labrador or Retriever or even a Sheppard among the animals there... I bet Eve would not have made it into the story.
I submit there are things we just cannot know nor are supposed to know.
@Ziggy asked "
Where did the blood come from?
Life is in the blood...
Gen 2 tells us
7Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

Job 10:11
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
Eze 37:6
And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I
am the LORD.
Eze 37:8
And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but
there was no breath in them.
The valley of bones..
Eze 37:1
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which
was full of bones,
Eze 37:2
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold,
there were very many in the open valley; and, lo,
they were very dry.
Eze 37:3
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Eze 37:5
Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold,
I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
what is blood?
Blood is a body fluid in the circulatory system of humans and other vertebrates that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells. Blood is composed of blood cells suspended in blood plasma. Plasma, which constitutes 55% of blood fluid, is mostly water, and contains proteins, glucose, mineral ions, and hormones. The blood cells are mainly red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The most abundant cells are red blood cells. These contain hemoglobin, which facilitates oxygen transport by reversibly binding to it, increasing its solubility. Jawed vertebrates have an adaptive immune system, based largely on white blood cells. White blood cells help to resist infections and parasites. Platelets are important in the clotting of blood. Blood is circulated around the body through blood vessels by the pumping action of the heart.

water, oxygen and hemoglobin
Hemoglobin is a protein containing iron that facilitates the transport of oxygen in red blood cells. Almost all vertebrates contain hemoglobin, with the exception of the fish family Channichthyidae and the tissues of some invertebrate animals.

Iron... Iron sharpens iron...
Job 28:2
Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass
is molten
out of the stone.
So blood is made from iron, iron comes from the earth, I believe all organic things that make up humans are earthy.
The only force outside of these is the breath God breathed into them.
God didn't breathe into the animals so I don't believe this refers to simple oxygen.
Jhn 20:21
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace
be unto you: as
my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
Jhn 20:22
And when he had said this, he breathed on
them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Gen 2:7
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 soul.
So the question is: Were we alive in heaven before we were born?
Where did the breath of God come from?
God's breath is life, same as his Word is life.
When Jesus breathed on the disciples they recieved the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit represents life?
Where was the Holy spirit before it was breathed into the world?
Were we alive in heaven before we were born?
I believe Yes, but not in the physical manner of flesh and bone, but rather in the concept of God's mind.
Every soul ever born on earth came from the same spirit God breathed into Adam and Jesus breathed into his disciples.
Without this breath, we are only water, iron and oxygen, there is no life in and of itself.
Life is in the blood. Not our own, it comes from God. God's life is breathed into our blood. His Spirit is breathed into our body/soul.
The dry bones, even though all the flesh and sinews were brought together had no life in them until God breathed on them.
Same way he breathed in Adam's nostrils, same way Jesus breathed on the world in the day of pentacost.
For we walk by faith and not by sight, takes on a whole deeper meaning...
You believe that you have life because of the oxygen you breathe from the air around you.
Then you are no better than a beast.
But man was made in God's image and likeness, and God is Spirit. And this Spirit is in your blood that God gave to Adam from the foundation of the world.
And God heard the voice of Abel from the blood spilt on the ground.
A voice is a word. Did Abel have the word of God in him?
How is it Jesus could say, I never knew you unless you don't believe that God is in you?
And if God is in you, then the question is: Were you IN God before you were born?
I believe each of us were and the future generations to come, are in God and come from God.
But we weren't individuals, we are the spirit of God created into individuals.
And when we walk contrary to God and his spirit, we make him a liar.
Because his spirit is not man's spirit, man's spirit is of the earth... oxygen.
And if we don't come to the knowledge that we all share one spirit, then God will hold us accountable with that talent he gave us.
Parable of the talents...
Mat 25:24
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
Mat 25:25
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo,
there thou hast
that is thine.
Let your light so shine.
