Is this creationists logic?

sonochroni pointed out that humans ARE made from dirt.... here is his/her definition of dirt...

If you want to break something down to it's purest form, use fire. When someone is cremated you are left with the material used to make them, dust (or dirt). Your brain may be an exception though, it seems to be really big.

Can this actually be part of the creationists logic? And how is cremated remains referred to as dirt seeing as the remains are pulverized bone?

Update:

Creationists:

We are made of the same thing trees, grasshoppers, stars and each other are made from. Carbon. We are carbon life forms, evolved through time... a long time.

    If humans are made of ashes, then trees are made of chairs.

    Yep

    Actually when you burn a body, the carbon all becomes a gas, not dirt. Only a creationist wouldn't know that.

    If the only way we can be turned to dust is through the forced combustion of our chemical makeup, then it's not very logical to say we are made of dust. It's like saying we're made out of noxious fumes.

    it truly is sweet judgment defined by an anti-creationist. i have self belief God is the author of the universe; yet, does that make me a Creationist? i do not consider the perception that the universe and the earth is 6,000 yrs old. it truly is an theory in conserving with assumption.( filling in gaps )

    Merriam-Webster's first definition for dirt is "excrement", which seems appropriate here.

    I think that may have been initially misunderstood. The creationist logic is excrement... meh. It's just not funny when you have to explain it. ;)

    @Christopher: Just because you would "rather" things be the way you imagine, that does not make it true.
