"divine breath into it, he made the body of dust live, i.e. the dust did not ""embody"" a soul, but it ""became"" a soul—a whole creature. And the Lord God created man in two formations; and took dust from the place of the house of the sanctuary, and from the four winds of the world, and mixed from all the waters of the world, and created him red, black, and white; and breathed into his nostrils the inspiration of life, and there was in the body of Adam the inspiration of a speaking spirit, unto the illumination of the eyes"

Traditionally, the earth is held to be inhabited by several other creatures, like the jinn, before God created humanity. God molded clay, earth, sand, and water into a model of a human. He breathed life and power into it, and it evolved into life. And this first human was called"

The archangels obeyed except for Tawûsê Melek. In answer to God, Tawûsê Melek replied, ""How can I submit to another being! I am from your illumination while Adam is made of dust."" Then, God praised him and made him the leader of all angels and his deputy on the Earth. (This probably furthers what some see as a connection to the Islamic ""Shaytan"", as"

Central to this is the notion that humans existed as spirits before birth, were raised by Heavenly Parents and had essential human characteristics such as gender. During the pre-earth life, God the Father presented a plan to have a Savior make it possible for mankind to be saved. The purpose of an earth life was to give men the opportunity to demonstrate obedience to the commandments of God while outside of his presence. This is the central test of the evolution or eternal progression of man to godhood. Jesus Christ stepped forward"
