@Icchi You're literally saying that Man is eventually gonna destroy itself by making use of Dust. Because Man came from Dust.

You summed it up. You just summed up the first quarter of FF7. Monty is far brighter than that.

Seriously, I can't embrace the theory that "Man came from Dust" because in retrospect, it contradicts their discovery of it.

Dust is mined, apparently. You're essentially saying Man was born underground. Seems legit.

Besides, you're forgetting one detail, Dust wasn't called Dust until Man discovered it. It was literally nameless crystals until Mankind figured out they're Materias in disguise. They named Dust in the first place. That's why the narration said "This power was appropriately named, Dust." because they're naming it in respect of their origins.
