Life did not arise from 'non living matter?'
by Gill inseptember's awake mag, discusses evolution.. on page 20 it makes the claim that' (the bible), does not support the idea that life arose from nonliving matter or that god started off the process of evolution with a single cell.'.
however, if i remember the account of creation in genesis, god created adam from the 'dust of the ground'.
am i mistaken here, or could the wtbts be confused?

'thus, the death mentioned in the scriptures quoted above is the adamic death, which will be nullified by christ's ransom.
