Peace,
Here's my take on the Adam and ever story,
God created everything, and He was pleased by it all.
He created mankind in His likeness, meaning He gave us dominion over
this world. Mankind lost it's perfection through Adam's sin.
"Then God said. "Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals of all sorts"
-Genesis 1:24
God created the creatures by allowing them to evolve on earth.
"The LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being"
"the clay of the ground" is symbolic of something from this earth.
I bellieve God took a preexisting species of hominid and gave him the "breath of life."
This likely means God gave us dominion over life on this world.
Man became "a living being" in the divine image of God.

The Quran is wrong when it says men were created from wet clay!
The Quran lacks the rich symbolism found in the Bible.
