Very apt comparison and analogy.

Fun facts, Abrahamic religions that are based on the Bible and Quran both claiming human are made from clay [1],[2].

In Hebrew name Adam, the very first human, comes from the word adamah, which means "ground," "soil," or "red clay".

In Arabic Adam, comes from the word adeem, means the surface of the earth or dust, reflecting the Islamic and Abrahamic tradition that Adam was created from the clay or dust of the ground.

By extension in Hebrew and Arabic the word Adam also means mankind and humanity.
