Two Adams and Eden
Yes, there were indeed two Adams on the earth - The first mankind was created by Elohim and the Second Adam was created by YHVH. The first humans were created male and female and the second as male-female within Eden a gated Park of YHVH. Translations had not done justice to the original.

TWO ADAMS AND EDEN<br />
PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />
Thus in this description we have two generations of gods already in existence after the cosmos<br />
came in existence. It was after these the first Adam Kadmnon is sacrificed. The sacrifice or the<br />
conversion of the encoded image into reality is done by all the gods together - the Elohim?<br />
It is held that Purusha through a sacrifice of himself, brings forth, the animals, the three Vedas,<strong>and</strong><br />
the word.. Then follows a verse which states that from his mouth, arms, thighs, feet are all humans<br />
born..The moon takes birth from the Purusha's mind <strong>and</strong> the sun from his eyes. Indra <strong>and</strong> Agni<br />
descend from his mouth <strong>and</strong> from his vital breath, air is born. The firmament comes from his navel,<br />
<strong>and</strong> so on.<br />
The Purusha sukta holds that the world is created by <strong>and</strong> out of a sacrifice of the Purusha. The<br />
LAMB slain from the beginning of creation. All forms of existence are held to be grounded in this<br />
primordial sacrifice. The Purusha of Purusha Suktham evidently corresponds to the Adam<br />
Kadamon of Jewish mysticism. The Dravids of India who produced the Upanishads belong to the<br />
tribes of Heber <strong>and</strong> the children of Abraham. The very name which is used as generic form of God<br />
after the arrival of Apostle Thomas is the world Ishwara derived from Isha Paran which literally <strong>and</strong><br />
exactly mean "Jesus is Lord".<br />
The concept of Demiurge <strong>and</strong> creation by Demiurge <strong>and</strong> not Elohim causes imperfection.<br />
Philo of Alex<strong>and</strong>ria (20 BC to AD 50) understood Genesis 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 to be contradictory. For Philo<br />
the direct agent of creation is not God himself but the Logos, the Word. Philo believes that the<br />
Logos is "the man of God" "Demiurge" or " the shadow of God" that was used as an instrument<br />
<strong>and</strong> a pattern of all creation, "Adam Kadamon".. The Logos converted unqualified, unshaped<br />
pre-existent matter, "destitute of arrangement, of quality, of animation, of distinctive character <strong>and</strong><br />
full of disorder <strong>and</strong> confusion," into four primordial elements (Legum Allegoriarum;1.329).<br />
