Of course I can support ppm's claim, just about every interpretation of scripture is speculation to varying degrees, after all we are in a dialogue with a supernatural being.
It's not about having imagination, it's about having a lack of imagination. If a physical body is given 60 / 70 years of life, it comes from nothing and rots back into nothing and you imagine that this is some sort of event worthy of God to record in scripture.
The miraculous event is that God breathed, metaphorically, a living spirit into association with each human form. It's an eternal breath, not mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
I would suggest if you don't get something and you're burying yourself, stop digging. Has it ever dawned on you that nobody is always right?
There is science and there is religious symbolism, anything written about God is supernatural, not some story about oxygen. Animals have been breathing on earth for 400 million years or more and humans inherited that ability to breath, that's science.
As for Bible support, scripture is not written to spoon-feed people, some work is required to unlock the inner meaning of a spiritual communication system that was delivered to the standard of human understanding and development some 3,500 years ago. The OT was not written for you or anybody living in 2024 to be understood as it was so long ago.
Your version of belief has no Bible backing whatsoever. Sure if somebody has a literal mindset they can render the Bible as a preposterous work that defies logic, reason and common sense. The Bible must give ground to scientific proofs, but in this case we are taking about a supernatural being who has no lungs, does not breath and does not descend into the imperfection of its own Creation to breath oxygen into the lungs of a human. There is no need to look for further scriptural confirmation because we know that God does not breath, nor can He enter His own Creation which is a state of imperfection.
Verses support only so much, the Bible is not a complete work, it is only a tiny glimpse into Creation and the might works required to develop the human spirit, which is ongoing and eternal.
All the best.
