WHY DOES GENESIS 5:1-2 QUOTE GENESIS 1

Last Revision: June 13, 2014
Genesis 5 begins the genealogy of Adam by quoting the creation narrative of Genesis 1:27-28. Does this mean that Adam and Eve were the subject of Genesis 1? No. Genesis 1 was quoted to make a point, but it was not quoted to equate Adam and Eve with those created as described in Genesis 1. Genesis 1:27-28 reads, "And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."1 Genesis 5:1-3 says, "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created. When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth." Because God's intention was to create Adam and Eve to be the representative of the human race and to test Adam and Eve in a perfect environment, He created them directly from the ground and placed them in the Garden of Eden. This meant that Adam and Eve needed to be real human beings. Therefore, God created them as humans and named them man to show that they were human. He also blessed them just as He had blessed the first pre-Adamites. This is why Genesis 5:1-3 sounds much like Genesis 1:27-28. My book New Evidence for Two Human Origins: Discoveries That Reconcile the Bible and Science shows that God created mankind as recorded in Genesis 1 and then later created Adam and Eve from the dust of the ground. Yes, it is possible to harmoize science and the Bible.
