“The Father and the Son created man and woman in his image, and gave them together the name of the man, Adam (Genesis 5:2)”.

This is also a curious claim. Adam was not a personal name until the man called himself Adam. Adahm meant ‘human’. It was a designation, a name for ALL humans, all those creatures to be born through the women throughout all future history. Just as some people name their cat, “Cat”, so the first human, for whatever reason denied himself a personal name and just became “Human”.
