Humanbeings are made by God from sand water and leech.I want to ask how many types or colour of water is mixed in that sand

[Curlyben]

All of them one would assume as humans come in many colours.

[joypulv]

Water itself is clear. It picks up colors from tiny things in it like algae, and from reflected light off everything around it.
There's a good story called The Color of Water, written by a biracial person whose mother always said her children were the color of water.
Now sand... that comes in many many colors.
We are mostly water.

humanbeings are made by God

Since you are in the science section I feel the need to correct you: human beings are created by the merging of the male sperm and female ovum. There is no god involved.

humanbeings are made by God from sand water nd leech.

Shanzy - what is "leech?" I assume that this is a belief of your religion, which makes me curious - can you please tell us what religion you are? Thanks.

More details are necessary to answer this question, but on the same note, I feel the need to clarify NeedKarma. The concept of a human is "created" but nothing has been physically created by the merging of a sperm and ovum. By definition, creation is only possible in subjective thoughts, concepts, and the like. To create is to push into existence, to "bring into existence," and thus anything created cannot be formed from something before it.

The two diploids merging usually forms a living human cell which may eventually (or already be depending on belief) a human being.

There is a group of sciences trying to explain the creation stories and other biblical concepts, as well as teams of geologists towards the same goal. This question, once better explained, may after all be in the right place.

He should probably get his question moved to the Christianity board then.

No - I'm not aware of any Christian-based belief that humans come from colored water and sand. That's why I asked what religion this may be.

I found this on quranandscience (Al Alaqa, leech-like clot) --

"then of that fluid-drop (nutfa) We created a leech-like clot" (Quran 23:14) .

Leech (alaqa, in Arabic) has several meanings:

1. A leech that lives in ponds and sucks the blood of other creatures.
2. A thing attached or clings to something else.
3. Clotted or coagulated blood.

All these meanings fit exactly with the reality of the human embryo after being implanted in the lining of uterus (endometrium), as the embryo looks like a leech, as shown in (Figure 5), while clinging to the endometrium through the umbilical cord (Figure 6), blood vessels initiated in the form of closed islands giving it the image of a clotted blood (Figure 7).

Hey Wondergirl,

That does indeed seem to the basis of his question. Good sleuthing.
His premise for his question is steeped in his religion not in science.

[Wondergirl]

Hey Wondergirl,

Good sleuthing.
