We originated from dead stars.

This explains the rough idea that we originated from stars.

When big old stars explode...its contents is blown out into space as dust and chunks of material, some are heavy radioactive metal which will decay into Ferum(Iron)...

Next, these suspended 'dust' will reunite under new gravity with other clouds of fresh fuel...Later, intense gravity will ignite the center of the whole matter into a NEW SUN.

While the heavy rocks and metals swing around this new sun, it slowly forms planets. these planets contain the exact material of DUST from early Big Stars. Its a huge cycle of natural recycling out there.

Meanwhile, everything that breath, dead or alive flesh on this earth comes from the soil. For instance, our blood contains 4 moleculs of Iron to graps oxygen. THAT EXACT IRON MOLECULS ARE FROM STARS RADIOACTIVE DECAYED MATERIAL!

The Quran was presisely correct to mention that the first man(Adam) was created from a mold of Premium Quality Dust. But from where the "Dust" originated from...wallahualam? is it from the heavens paradise soil...or from the matter contained within the Universe at that present time. God knows best.

Indeed we are in the current 1st creation(with the current physical form) , and soon to die and reborn into a 2nd creation as mention in the Quran. But the knowledge of the 2nd creation is within God's Own Infinite Wisdom. God knows best.
