Adam is said to be made of the dust of the earth, not of this earth but of another earth, from which he was exalted to thrones and kingdoms and principalities and powers, and he came here and commenced a work for this earth. He is our father; we did not produce ourselves, and we become parents of children. Adam is the author of the existence of mankind on this earth; we are of him, and from him.
