What was man created from, blood, clay, dust, or nothing?

1. "Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood," (96:2).
2. "We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape, (15:26).
3. "The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was," (3:59).
4. "But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?" (19:67, Yusuf Ali). Also, 52:35).
5. "He has created man from a sperm-drop; and behold this same (man) becomes an open disputer! (16:4).

So From which thing is man made up of?

The first verse talks about creation of human being from no more then a blood cell just like a clot. When an embryo is formed the human is nothing more then a small tiny creature filled with blood. The blood consists of red and white blood cells which are described as "Clot of Blood" in 96:2
See Fig And Explanation Below

Diagram of the primordial cardiovascular system in an embryo of about 21 days, viewed from the left side. Observe the transitory stage of paired symmetrical vessels. (Keith Moore). Each heart tube continues dorsally into a dorsal aorta that passes caudally.
The external appearance of the embryo and its sacs is similar to that of a blood clot, due to the presence of relatively large amounts of blood present in the embryo. 

 

The second verse talks about a scientific miracle of Quran. See below link
Quranic Miracle and Creation from clay

The third verse only talks about creation of Adam not the whole mankind, that is why Adam is specially refered in the verse

The fourth verse talks about existence of man on earth. That is the man was nothing before his creation and he never knows that he existed before his creation.
Quran 52:35 states in this regard that man think they are creators of themselves but they were created from nothing that is they didn't even exist before
"Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators?" [Quran 52:35]

The fifth verse talks about science and creation of human from sperm drop. This is another miracle of Holy Quran!
