YourTruthGod,
How do you define "a spirit" or "spirit" in this passage? Is it "breath", "air", or "wind"? Air is a mixture of many compounds (a variety of gasses).. The major components would be Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O), and small amounts of other elements (argon, neon, etc.). Nitrogen makes up 78.1% of air, while oxygen makes up 20.9% of air.
A spirit that human are given is an invisible ghost/spirit that looks like the person's external body but lives inside the person and grows and looks like the human as it grows.
Our breath just takes in oxygen and lets out carbon dioxide, BUT GOD'S breath gives us our spirit. So with that in mind when you read the scripture it should make more sense to you.
Is not the fetus has no air of its own and depends upon the mother? Keep it real.
It is not about the infant 'breathing' as in inhaling and exhaling. It is about God's breath giving the baby its own spirit causing it to live.

This is a datsun-1973-240z-rolling-shell-without an engine.
Is this an automobile? It has doors, windows, tires, lights, a hood, a trunk, windshield wipers, seats, color, etc. You can push it or pull it, all day long. It's NOT an automobile.
Can it move on its own? It has the potential, the look, the shape, and others like it. Is this an automobile? The same is true of what's developing in a woman before giving birth -- potential. It is called a baby until the developing tissue is outside the womb and breathing on its own. Before that, it is a human baby's potential. Now, do you have a better understanding? CM
