Nope Maki ... as i said to Warren, IMO both man and Dust were born from "earth" (the planet .-.), so they were created by the same "energy" ... man wasnt created by the Dust Cristal, but they have the same source

Even so ... only couse Materia destroy the planet doesnt mean the Dust will do the same. Assuming Dust creation is a natural phenomon, using it will only make the energy flow, not destoy it

I said Dust is like Materia, not that Dust is exactly the same thing :)
