The Bible says "as a man thinks, so he is." You think you are just mud, and thus you live with your head in the dust, thinking that evolutionary science will do you more good than faith in His word. Good Luck!

You've become confused. You're the one attached the dust/mud metaphor. I'm the primate guy. Remember? It's not a matter of faith though; just acceptance of overwhelming evidence.
Your buddy Jordan Peterson gets this. That's why he posits the relevance of the lobster dominance hierarchy to human social organization. How can you understand politics without comprehending our animal nature?
But, Genesis 2:7 is relevant too. It's a metaphoric expression of the paradox of human experience. The self is at once symbolic and embodied.
Your massive denial of this--your own psychological situation-- seems to be the basis for your holier-than-thou-attitude towards most of your species. No wonder you defend it so vociferously.
