The word soul in Gen 2:7 is nephesh, which definition is it using?
I think it's 1 b, so it would read: And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
What does that have to do with an immaterial, supernatural essence?
That's like saying George Lucas is evidence that the Force exists.
The Bible, indeed, is very specific, but I think you're missing the reading into it whaisn't there, as evidenced in your answer to question 1.
1) soul, self, life, creature, person, appetite, mind, living being, desire, emotion, passion
a) that which breathes, the breathing substance or being, soul, the inner being of man
b) living being
c) living being (with life in the blood)
d) the man himself, self, person or individual
e) seat of the appetites
f) seat of emotions and passions
g) activity of mind
1) dubious
h) activity of the will
1) dubious
i) activity of the character
1) dubious
