this is what i think about the adam/god theory.....
this is what im believing right now, it could change since i believe in open scholarship.....
2 adams, 2 eves...
one adam, one eve came to the newly formed earth, which both helped to create. adam and eve eat food, inhabit and have 2 children, one boy, one girl.....
the first adam and eve couple are our celestial parents, their children adam and eve.....the second adam is made from the dust of the earth since the first adam ate, and lived on this planet, eve is taken from the rib because that scripture is referencing the first eve who is the first adams helpmate....
they raise the children, they become accountable, more symbolic than literal, like we all do, sin enters the garden, 1st adam and eve leave the garden and the fall occurs....
adam and eve are not literal names but figurative....
that way brigham youngs quotes of adam being our celestial father are consistent.....
