Bottom line is how did this "Goat-herder's Guide To The Galaxy" as you put it, figure that we were made from dust in the first place?

It didn't. It was a guess or an older myth, that the authors were convinced couldn't be disproven - at least in their lifetimes. Bible is full of assertions and speculations. If you forget all the ones that turned out demonstrably false and interpret the rest in the most biased way possible - you may fool yourself into believing any of it is based on facts, but that's not how science, or logic work.
We're talking about a book that claims that Pi equals 3 (1 Kings 7:23, 2 Chronicles 4:2) for f***'s sake. Enough said.
