think he is saying that "Adam", as used in the beginning of Genesis, is a
noun describing a man or mankind, but is not a name. If so, I have to
qualify that statement. There are verses where the reference is to
"the Adam" in which case I would agree with Siarlys. Other places,
where it is not prefixed with "the", such as Gen 5:1,2 it is probably referring
to mankind. But in Gen 5:3-5 It clearly is referring to him
personally. And in 3:17,21 I think it is used as his name, but that's an
opinion.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
