I knew that the word Adam meant “mankind,” as Genesis 5:2 states, “Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created” (KJV) Once I became aware of this verse, I became even more amazed at how many people still think Adam was the very first human being ever to walk on this planet. I guess they’re unaware of the fossilized bones that have been dug out of ancient soils. Besides, Gen. 1 says, “male and female created he them.” Together. And by the way, it doesn’t say anything about males being superior to females.
