Are we made from dust?

Here is a headline from our evening paper today "All we are is space dust in the wind". Here is the beginning of the article:
Quote 1:
"Astronomers know that planets and much on them, including humans, come from dust - mostly from dying stars. But where did the dust that helped form those early stars come from"?

Quote 2:
"A NASA telescope may have spotted one of the answers. It's in the wind bursting out of super massive black holes".

And further down in the article:
Quote 3:
"That still leaves a question about where the earliest dust in the universe came from". "It's formed in the wind" of the black holes, Markwick-Kemper said. The associated Press

I found this article to be almost amusing as a Christian I can go to the word of God and clearly answer all these questions. Now I'm not a rocket scientist or anything but God's word tells us we're made of dust and came from dust. Why is NASA wasting so much money trying to answer this question when they already have the answer to it in the Bible. I'm going to take the quotes and answer them according to the word of God.

The scientist ask where did the dust come from that formed those early stars. Also, where did the dust come from that humans are made from. Our answer is in Genesis 1:16 "And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also". Quite clearly God made the stars therefore the "first" dust these scientist are referring to that they can't find where it came from God made.

In answering there question of how did we come from dust and where did that come from I found the answer in Genesis 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". Again, the dust they can't find where it came from originally God made.

I'll end with a quote from Genesis 1: 1-5 which teaches how the world was made and by whom.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth". " And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light". " And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness". "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day".

How can they even believe that stuff? I suppose we should just be thankful that we don't!
