==PAPER 74: ADAM AND EVE==

74:0.1 ''Adam and Eve'' arrived on [[Urantia]], from the year A.D. [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934 1934], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Paleolithic 37,848] years ago. It was in midseason when [[the Garden]] was in the height of bloom that they arrived. At high noon and unannounced, the two [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seraphim#39:4._ADMINISTRATOR_SERAPHIM seraphic transports], accompanied by the [[Jerusem]] personnel intrusted with the [[transportation]] of the biologic uplifters to [[Urantia]], settled slowly to the [[surface]] of the revolving [[planet]] in the vicinity of the [[temple]] of the [[Universal Father]]. All the [[work]] of re[[materializing]] the [[bodies]] of Adam and Eve was carried on within the precincts of this newly created [[shrine]]. And from the time of their arrival [[ten]] days passed before they were re-created in [[dual]] [[human]] [[form]] for presentation as the world's new rulers. They regained [[consciousness]] [[simultaneously]]. The [[Material Sons and Daughters]] always serve [[together]]. It is the [[essence]] of their [[service]] at all times and in all places never to be separated. They are [[designed]] to [[work]] in pairs; seldom do they [[function]] alone.

==74:1. ADAM AND EVE ON JERUSEM==

==74:1. ADAM AND EVE ON JERUSEM==

74:1.4 Adam and Eve had remained [[loyal]] to [[Michael]] during the [[Lucifer rebellion]]; nevertheless, the pair were called before the [[System Sovereign]] and his entire cabinet for [[examination]] and instruction. The details of [[Urantia]] affairs were fully presented; they were exhaustively instructed as to the [[plans]] to be pursued in [[accepting]] the [[responsibilities]] of rulership on such a strife-torn world. They were put under joint [[oaths]] of [[allegiance]] to the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]] and to [[Michael]] of [[Salvington]]. And they were duly [[advised]] to regard themselves as subject to the [[Urantia]] corps of [[Melchizedek receivers]] until that [[governing]] [[body]] should see fit to relinquish rule on the world of their assignment.

74:1.5 This [[Jerusem]] pair left behind them on the [[capital]] of [[Satania]] and elsewhere, one hundred [[offspring]]—fifty sons and fifty daughters—[[magnificent]] [[creatures]] who had escaped the pitfalls of [[progression]], and who were all in commission as [[faithful]] stewards of [[universe]] [[trust]] at the time of their [[parents]]' departure for [[Urantia]]. And they were all present in the [[beautiful]] [[temple]] of the [[Material Sons]] attendant upon the [[farewell]] [[exercises]] [[associated]] with the last [[ceremonies]] of the [[bestowal]] [[acceptance]]. These [[children]] accompanied their [[parents]] to the dematerialization headquarters of their order and were the last to bid them [[farewell]] and [[divine]] [[speed]] as they fell [[asleep]] in the [[personality]] lapse of [[consciousness]] which precedes the [[preparation]] for [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seraphim#39:4._ADMINISTRATOR_SERAPHIM seraphic transport]. The [[children]] spent some time [[together]] at the [[family]] [[rendezvous]] rejoicing that their [[parents]] were soon to become the visible heads, in [[reality]] the sole rulers, of [[planet]] 606 in [[the system]] of [[Satania]].

74:1.6 And thus did Adam and Eve leave [[Jerusem]] amidst the acclaim and well-wishing of its [[citizens]]. They went forth to their new [[responsibilities]] adequately equipped and fully instructed concerning every [[duty]] and [[danger]] to be encountered on [[Urantia]].

==74:2. ARRIVAL OF ADAM AND EVE==

==74:2. ARRIVAL OF ADAM AND EVE==

74:2.1 Adam and Eve fell [[asleep]] on [[Jerusem]], and when they [[awakened]] in [[the Father]]'s [[temple]] on [[Urantia]] in the [[presence]] of the mighty throng assembled to [[welcome]] them, they were face to [[face]] with [[two]] [[beings]] of whom they had heard much, [[Van]] and his [[faithful]] [[associate]] [[Amadon]]. These two [[heroes]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67 Caligastia secession] were the first to [[welcome]] them in their new [[garden]] [[home]].

These two [[heroes]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67 Caligastia secession] were the first to [[welcome]] them in their new [[garden]] [[home]].

74:2.2 The [[Language|tongue]] of [[Eden]] was an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:4._THE_ANDONIC_CLANS Andonic] [[dialect]] as spoken by [[Amadon]]. [[Van]] and [[Amadon]] had markedly improved this [[language]] by creating a new [[alphabet]] of twenty-four [[letters]], and they had hoped to see it become the tongue of [[Urantia]] as the Edenic [[culture]] would spread throughout the world. Adam and Eve had fully mastered this [[human]] [[dialect]] before they departed from [[Jerusem]] so that this son of [[Andon]] heard the exalted ruler of his world address him in his own [[Language|tongue]].

74:2.3 And on that day there was great excitement and [[joy]] throughout [[Eden]] as the runners went in great haste to the [[rendezvous]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_pigeon carrier pigeons] assembled from near and far, shouting: "Let loose the birds; let them carry the word that the promised Son has come." Hundreds of believer settlements had [[faithfully]], year after year, kept up the supply of these [[home]]-reared [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_pigeon pigeons] for just such an occasion.

74:2.4 As the news of Adam's arrival spread abroad, thousands of the near-by [[tribesmen]] accepted the teachings of [[Van]] and [[Amadon]], while for months and months [[pilgrims]] continued to pour into [[Eden]] to welcome Adam and Eve and to do homage to their [[unseen Father]].

74:2.5 Soon after their [[awakening]], Adam and Eve were escorted to the [[formal]] reception on the great mound to the north of the [[temple]]. This [[natural]] hill had been enlarged and made ready for the installation of the world's new rulers. Here, at noon, the [[Urantia]] [[reception]] committee [[welcomed]] this Son and Daughter of [[the system]] of [[Satania]]. [[Amadon]] was chairman of this committee, which consisted of twelve members embracing a [[representative]] of each of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 six Sangik races]; the acting chief of the [[midwayers]]; ''Annan'', a loyal daughter and spokesman for the [[Nodites]]; ''Noah'', the son of the [[architect]] and builder of the Garden and [[executive]] of his deceased father's plans; and the two resident [[Life Carriers]].

74:2.6 The next [[act]] was the delivery of the charge of [[planetary]] [[custody]] to Adam and Eve by the senior [[Melchizedek]], chief of the [[council]] of receivership on [[Urantia]]. The [[Material Son and Daughter]] took the [[oath]] of [[allegiance]] to the [[Most Highs]] of [[Norlatiadek]] and to [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] and were proclaimed rulers of [[Urantia]] by [[Van]], who thereby relinquished the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titular_ruler titular authority] which for over one hundred and fifty thousand years he had held by [[virtue]] of the [[action]] of the [[Melchizedek receivers]].

74:2.7 And Adam and Eve were invested with kingly robes on this occasion, the time of their [[formal]] induction into world rulership. Not all of [[the arts]] of [[Dalamatia]] had been lost to the world; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaving weaving] was still [[practiced]] in the days of [[Eden]].

74:2.8 Then was heard the [[archangels]]' [[proclamation]], and the [[broadcast]] [[voice]] of [[Gabriel]] [[decreed]] the second [[judgment]] roll call of [[Urantia]] and the [[resurrection]] of the [[sleeping survivors]] of the second [[dispensation]] of [[grace]] and [[mercy]] on 606 of [[Satania]]. The [[dispensation]] of [[the Prince]] has passed, the age of Adam, the third [[planetary]] [[epoch]], opens amidst scenes of [[simple]] grandeur; and the new rulers of [[Urantia]] start their reign under seemingly favorable conditions, notwithstanding the world-wide [[confusion]] occasioned by lack of the [[co-operation]] of their predecessor in [[authority]] on the [[planet]].

74:3.1 And now, after their [[formal]] installation, Adam and Eve became [[painfully]] [[aware]] of their [[planetary]] [[isolation]]. [[Silent]] were the familiar [[broadcasts]], and absent were all the [[circuits]] of extraplanetary [[communication]]. Their [[Jerusem]] fellows had gone to worlds running along smoothly with a well-[[established]] [[Planetary Prince]] and an experienced staff ready to receive them and competent to [[co-operate]] with them during their early [[experience]] on such worlds. But on [[Urantia]] [[rebellion]] had changed [[everything]]. Here the [[Planetary Prince]] was very much present, and though shorn of most of his [[power]] to [[work]] [[evil]], he was still able to make the task of Adam and Eve [[difficult]] and to some extent hazardous. It was a serious and [[disillusioned]] Son and Daughter of [[Jerusem]] who walked that night through [[the Garden]] under the shining of the full [[moon]], [[discussing]] plans for the next day.

74:3.2 Thus ended the first day of Adam and Eve on [[isolated]] [[Urantia]], the [[confused]] [[planet]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:1._THE_CALIGASTIA_BETRAYAL Caligastia betrayal]; and they walked and talked far into the night, their first night on [[earth]]—and it was so lonely.

74:3.3 Adam's second day on [[earth]] was spent in session with the [[planetary receivers]] and the advisory council. From the [[Melchizedeks]], and their [[associates]], Adam and Eve learned more about the details of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#PAPER_67:_THE_PLANETARY_REBELLION Caligastia rebellion] and the result of that upheaval upon the world's [[progress]]. And it was, on the whole, a disheartening [[story]], this long recital of the mismanagement of world affairs. They [[learned]] all the [[facts]] regarding the utter collapse of the [[Caligastia]] [[scheme]] for [[accelerating]] the [[process]] of [[social]] [[evolution]]. They also arrived at a full [[realization]] of the [[folly]] of attempting to [[achieve]] [[planetary]] advancement [[independently]] of the [[divine]] [[plan]] of [[progression]]. And thus ended a sad but [[enlightening]] day—their second on [[Urantia]].

74:3.4 The third day was [[devoted]] to an inspection of [[the Garden]]. From the large passenger birds—the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garuda fandors]—Adam and Eve looked down upon the vast stretches of [[the Garden]] while being carried through the air over this, the most [[beautiful]] spot on [[earth]]. This day of inspection ended with an enormous banquet in [[honor]] of all who had labored to [[create]] this [[garden]] of Edenic [[beauty]] and grandeur. And again, late into the night of their third day, the Son and his [[mate]] walked in the Garden and talked about the immensity of their [[problems]].

74:3.5 On the fourth day Adam and Eve addressed [[the Garden]] assembly. From the inaugural mount they spoke to the people concerning their [[plans]] for the [[rehabilitation]] of the world and outlined the [[methods]] whereby they would seek to redeem the [[social]] [[culture]] of [[Urantia]] from the low levels to which it had fallen as a result of [[sin]] and [[rebellion]]. This was a great day, and it closed with a feast for the [[council]] of [[men]] and [[women]] who had been selected to [[assume]] [[responsibilities]] in the new [[administration]] of world affairs. Take note! [[women]] as well as [[men]] were in this [[group]], and that was the first time such a thing had occurred on [[earth]] since the days of [[Dalamatia]]. It was an astounding [[innovation]] to behold [[Eve]], a [[woman]], [[sharing]] the [[honors]] and [[responsibilities]] of world affairs with a [[man]]. And thus ended the fourth day on [[earth]].

74:3.7 The sixth day was [[devoted]] to an inspection of the numerous [[types]] of [[men]] and [[animals]]. Along the walls eastward in [[Eden]], Adam and Eve were escorted all day, viewing the [[animal]] life of the [[planet]] and arriving at a better [[understanding]] as to what must be done to bring [[order]] out of the [[confusion]] of a world inhabited by such a variety of living [[creatures]].

74:3.8 It greatly surprised those who accompanied Adam on this trip to [[observe]] how fully he [[understood]] the [[nature]] and [[function]] of the thousands upon thousands of [[animals]] shown him. The instant he glanced at an [[animal]], he would indicate its [[nature]] and [[behavior]]. Adam could give [[names]] descriptive of the [[origin]], [[nature]], and [[function]] of all [[material]] [[creatures]] on sight. Those who conducted him on this tour of inspection did not know that the world's new ruler was one of the most expert [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy anatomists] of all [[Satania]]; and Eve was equally proficient. Adam [[amazed]] his [[associates]] by describing hosts of living [[things]] too small to be seen by [[human]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye eyes].

74:3.9 When the sixth day of their [[sojourn]] on earth was over, Adam and Eve rested for the first time in their new [[home]] in "the east of Eden."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.2] The first six days of the [[Urantia]] [[adventure]] had been very busy, and they looked forward with great [[pleasure]] to an entire day of [[freedom]] from all [[activities]].

74:3.10 But circumstances dictated otherwise. The [[experience]] of the day just past in which Adam had so [[intelligently]] and so exhaustively [[discussed]] the [[animal]] life of [[Urantia]], [[together]] with his masterly inaugural address and his [[charming]] [[manner]], had so won the [[hearts]] and overcome the [[intellects]] of the Garden dwellers that they were not only wholeheartedly disposed to [[accept]] the newly arrived Son and Daughter of [[Jerusem]] as rulers, but the [[majority]] were about ready to fall down and [[worship]] them as [[gods]].

74:4.5 It was a momentous day, and just before noon, about the time of the arrival of the [[seraphic]] [[messenger]] bearing the [[Jerusem]] acknowledgment of the installation of the world's rulers, Adam and Eve, moving apart from the throng, pointed to [[the Father]]'s [[temple]] and said: " Go you now to the [[material]] emblem of [[the Father]]'s [[invisible]] [[presence]] and bow down in [[worship]] of him who made us all and who keeps us living. And let this [[act]] be the [[sincere]] [[pledge]] that you never will again be [[tempted]] to [[worship]] anyone but [[God]]." They all did as Adam directed. The [[Material Son and Daughter]] stood alone on the mount with bowed heads while the people [[prostrated]] themselves about the [[temple]].

74:4.6 And this was the [[origin]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.20 Sabbath-day] [[tradition]]. Always in [[Eden]] the seventh day was [[devoted]] to the noontide assembly at the [[temple]]; long it was the [[custom]] to [[devote]] this day to [[self]]-[[culture]]. The forenoon was [[devoted]] to [[physical]] improvement, the noontime to [[spiritual]] [[worship]], the afternoon to [[mind]] [[culture]], while the evening was spent in [[social]] rejoicing. This was never the [[law]] in [[Eden]], but it was the [[custom]] as long as the Adamic [[administration]] held sway on [[earth]].

==74:5. ADAM'S ADMINISTRATION==

==74:5. ADAM'S ADMINISTRATION==

74:5.2 The [[farewell]] of the receivers occupied the whole of a day, and during the evening the [[individual]] [[Melchizedeks]] gave Adam and Eve their parting [[advice]] and best wishes. Adam had several times requested his advisers to remain on [[earth]] with him, but always were these [[petitions]] denied. The time had come when the [[Material Sons]] must [[assume]] full [[responsibility]] for the [[conduct]] of world affairs. And so, at midnight, the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:4._ADMINISTRATOR_SERAPHIM seraphic transports] of [[Satania]] left the [[planet]] with fourteen [[beings]] for [[Jerusem]], the [[translation]] of [[Van]] and [[Amadon]] occurring [[simultaneously]] with the departure of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_%28number%29 twelve] [[Melchizedeks]].

74:5.3 All went fairly well for a time on [[Urantia]], and it appeared that Adam would, [[eventually]], be able to [[develop]] some [[plan]] for promoting the [[gradual]] extension of the Edenic [[civilization]]. Pursuant to the [[advice]] of the [[Melchizedeks]], he began to foster [[the arts]] of [[manufacture]] with the [[idea]] of [[developing]] [[Commerce|trade]] [[relations]] with the outside world. When Eden was disrupted, there were over one hundred [[primitive]] [[manufacturing]] plants in operation, and extensive trade [[relations]] with the near-by tribes had been [[established]].

74:5.6 Even among the Edenites there were those [[confused]] [[minds]] that leaned toward the [[Caligastia]] teaching of unbridled [[personal]] [[liberty]]; and they caused Adam no end of trouble; always were they upsetting the best-laid [[plans]] for orderly [[progression]] and substantial [[development]]. He was finally compelled to withdraw his [[program]] for [[immediate]] socialization; he fell back on [[Van]]'s [[method]] of [[organization]], dividing the Edenites into companies of one hundred with captains over each and with lieutenants in charge of [[groups]] of [[ten]].

74:5.7 Adam and Eve had come to institute [[representative]] [[government]] in the place of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy monarchial], but they found no [[government]] worthy of the [[name]] on the face of the whole [[earth]]. For the time being Adam abandoned all [[effort]] to [[establish]] [[representative]] [[government]], and before the collapse of the Edenic regime he succeeded in [[establishing]] almost one hundred outlying [[trade]] and [[social]] [[centers]] where strong [[individuals]] ruled in his [[name]]. Most of these [[centers]] had been organized aforetime by [[Van]] and [[Amadon]].

==74:6. HOME LIFE OF ADAM AND EVE==

74:6.1 The Adamic [[family]] [[Land|grounds]] ''embraced'' a little over five square miles[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London]. [[Immediately]] [[surrounding]] this [[home]]site, provision had been made for the [[care]] of more than three hundred thousand of the [[pure]]-line [[offspring]]. But only the first [[unit]] of the projected buildings was ever constructed. Before the size of the Adamic [[family]] outgrew these early provisions, the whole Edenic [[plan]] had been disrupted and [[the Garden]] vacated.

74:6.3 The Adamic [[children]] did not take milk from [[animals]] when they ceased to nurse the [[mother]]'s [[breast]] at one year of age. [[Eve]] had [[access]] to the milk of a great variety of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuts nuts] and to the juices of many [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruits fruits], and knowing full well the [[chemistry]] and [[energy]] of these [[foods]], she suitably combined them for the nourishment of her [[children]] until the [[appearance]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeth teeth].

74:6.5 The [[bodies]] of Adam and Eve gave forth a shimmer of [[light]], but they always wore clothing in [[conformity]] with the [[custom]] of their [[associates]]. Though wearing very little during the day, at eventide they donned night wraps. The [[origin]] of the [[traditional]] [[halo]] encircling the heads of supposed [[pious]] and [[holy]] men dates back to the days of Adam and Eve. Since the [[light]] [[emanations]] of their [[bodies]] were so largely obscured by [[clothing]], only the radiating [[glow]] from their heads was [[discernible]]. The descendants of Adamson always thus portrayed their [[concept]] of [[individuals]] believed to be extraordinary in [[spiritual]] [[development]].

74:6.7 The Adamic [[children]] attended their own schools until they were sixteen, the younger being taught by the [[elder]]. The little folks changed [[activities]] every thirty minutes, the older every hour. And it was certainly a new [[sight]] on [[Urantia]] to [[observe]] these [[children]] of Adam and Eve at [[play]], [[joyous]] and exhilarating [[activity]] just for the sheer fun of it. The [[play]] and [[humor]] of the present-day [[races]] are largely derived from the Adamic stock. The Adamites all had a great [[appreciation]] of [[music]] as well as a keen sense of [[humor]].

74:7.1 The [[children]] of [[Adam]], except for four years' attendance at the western schools, lived and worked in the "east of Eden."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.2] They were [[trained]] [[intellectually]] until they were sixteen in [[accordance]] with the [[methods]] of the [[Jerusem]] schools.

74:7.2 The entire [[purpose]] of the western school [[system]] of [[the Garden]] was [[socialization]]. The forenoon periods of recess were [[devoted]] to [[practical]] [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horticulture horticulture]] and [[agriculture]], the afternoon periods to [[competitive]] [[play]]. The evenings were employed in [[social]] [[intercourse]] and the cultivation of [[personal]] [[friendships]]. [[Religious]] and [[sexual]] [[training]] were regarded as the province of the [[home]], the [[duty]] of [[parents]].

But the Adamites taught many additional reasons for these commands; for instance, regarding the injunction against [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder murder], the indwelling of the [[Thought Adjuster]] was presented as an additional [[reason]] for not destroying [[human]] life. They taught that "whoso sheds man's blood by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.9]

74:8.5 Away from the [[influences]] of [[Dalamatia]] and [[Eden]], [[mankind]] tended toward the [[belief]] in the [[gradual]] [[ascent]] of the [[human]] [[race]]. The [[fact]] of [[evolution]] is not a [[modern]] [[discovery]]; the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_history ancients] understood the slow and [[evolutionary]] [[character]] of [[human]] [[progress]].

74:8.6 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonia Babylonians], because of [[immediate]] [[contact]] with the remnants of the [[civilization]] of the Adamites, enlarged and embellished the [[story]] of man's [[creation]]; they taught that he had descended directly from the [[gods]]. They held to an [[aristocratic]] [[origin]] for the [[race]] which was incompatible with even the [[doctrine]] of [[creation]] out of clay.

74:8.7 The [[Old Testament]] account of [[creation]] dates from long after the time of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses]; he never taught the [[Hebrews]] such a distorted [[story]]. But he did present a [[simple]] and condensed [[narrative]] of [[creation]] to the Israelites, hoping thereby to augment his [[appeal]] to [[worship]] the [[Creator]], the [[Universal Father]], whom he called the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.5 Lord God of Israel].

74:8.8 In his early teachings, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] very wisely did not attempt to go back of [[Adam]]'s time, and since Moses was the supreme [[teacher]] of the [[Hebrews]], the stories of Adam became [[intimately]] associated with those of [[creation]]. That the earlier [[traditions]] recognized pre-Adamic [[civilization]] is clearly shown by the [[fact]] that later [[editors]], intending to eradicate all [[reference]] to [[human]] affairs before [[Adam]]'s time, neglected to remove the telltale [[reference]] to Cain's [[emigration]] to the "[[Nodites|land of Nod]]," where he took himself a [[wife]].

74:8.9 The [[Hebrews]] had no [[written]] [[language]] in general usage for a long time after they reached [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine Palestine]. They learned the use of an [[alphabet]] from the neighboring [[Philistines]], who were [[political]] refugees from the higher [[civilization]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete]. The [[Hebrews]] did little [[writing]] until about [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/900_B.C. 900 B.C]., and having no [[written]] [[language]] until such a late date, they had several [[different]] stories of [[creation]] in [[circulation]], but after the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_captivity Babylonian captivity] they inclined more toward accepting a [[modified]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamian] version.

74:8.10 Jewish [[tradition]] became crystallized about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses], and because he endeavored to trace the [[lineage]] of [[Abraham]] back to [[Adam]], the Jews assumed that [[Adam]] was the first of all [[mankind]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh Yahweh] was the [[creator]], and since [[Adam]] was supposed to be the first man, he must have made the world just prior to making Adam. And then the [[tradition]] of Adam's six days got woven into the [[story]], with the result that almost a thousand years after Moses' [[sojourn]] on earth the [[tradition]] of [[creation]] in six days was written out and subsequently credited to him.

74:8.11 When the Jewish [[priests]] returned to [[Jerusalem]], they had already completed the [[writing]] of their [[narrative]] of the [[Origin|beginning]] of [[things]]. Soon they made claims that this recital was a recently [[discovered]] story of [[creation]] written by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses]. But the contemporary [[Hebrews]] of around 500 B.C. did not consider these [[writings]] to be [[divine]] [[revelations]]; they looked upon them much as later peoples regard [[mythological]] [[narratives]].

74:8.13 The [[Christian]] teachers perpetuated the [[belief]] in the [[fiat]] [[creation]] of the [[human]] [[race]], and all this led directly to the formation of the [[hypothesis]] of a onetime golden age of [[utopian]] [[bliss]] and the [[theory]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_of_Man the fall of man] or superman which accounted for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystopia nonutopian] condition of [[society]].
