The Creation Of Man

     As we realize, there were two traditions mentioning about the first created, and as it is obvious, reflect various social circumstances of the ancient world. The holy inspired Prophet modified them, in order to pass various messages. The first created, man and woman, are a complex of symbols. It is rather certain that the name Adam, for the Hebrews meant the human, but for the earlier people meant the soil man. The name Eve meant Life, or Soul, or by this name, maybe meant the spirit of the first mother of man. Namely, they used to say, (Eve) the spirit of the first mother. So without any doubt, the inspired Prophet used these names for various symbolic meanings. Of course we understand that if indeed the first created being had a name, something, which is rather unlikely, while they did not speak any language, but even if he had a name, then certainly wouldn't Adam. This name reflects very posterior social progress with the various circumstantial perceptions, which of course it wouldn't be possible to be knowledge and perceptions of the first created. So it is very obvious that Moses used these traditional names as symbols, and indeed they are quite complicated ones. As we will see at the chapter 4 that writes literally about the children of Adam, there was a story of a well-known family that lived before Abraham. It is very obvious, the names of the father and mother were Adam and Eve, and as usually happens, those names were traditional ones. Moses used them for many symbolical messages, while the one means Soil-man earthly-man and the other Soul, devine Spirit and with more other traditions, he formatted the symbolical story of the creation of human. 

    Let see then how can we interpret as symbols of the first created, and what divine messages may pass. First they were humans, meaning, the names Adam and Eve symbolize the first humans. So it is obvious that they pass a message of the Lord that says; the human was created in the "6^th day". And as we observe, the message speaks clearly about humans, not about monkeys, therefore the message says, the human was created with the currency given anatomic and morphological structure. It is obvious; God passes His message through His Prophet, the Lord tell us that the human was created as human, not as a kind of monkey that evolved into human. If man evolved from some kind of monkey, then under God's plans, there should be different traditions, or Moses who wrote under divine guidance would write some related words, to express it and pass the correct message. But as we see now, God's message is, the human was created as human, not as some kind of monkey that was evolved into human. Although yes, there are some kind of equivocal written words, which we will see them in the subject, the Wood of Life.     

     It is not reasonable to deny, that under God's plan, and in the passing of millions of years, there was some partial, limited evolution on other kinds of life, but it seems there was not any anatomic and morphological evolution for the human. Certainly there was adaptation at the various climatic circumstances, and in conditions of way of living, and this is beyond of any doubt. As it is easy to realize, the main intention of the creation of the earth was the humans. God created the earth mostly for the human, and this was the main reason, that for many millions of years, had to continue a very long recreation of the earth, until it becomes a suitable place for the creation of human. Otherwise, and if there was not the darkness with his interpositions, then everything would be according to His will, God would create the human if not from beginning, but certainly not after billions of years. For what other reason would God have waited so long? It was absolute necessity, especially for the historic period, and the big increase of the population, to create first the oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and the proper ecologic system, and for other reasons as well, for which we only suspect. Personal, I believe there was a long continuously and terrible war of billions of years between the Spirit of Good and the spirit of evil, until the great reptile be enforced to retreat, so some kind of balance may prevail. 

      So, the name Adam, which was a traditional one, and it was also the name of a family man or tribal leader as well, was used by the holy inspired Moses in allegorical importances. By this name, except that passes the message that human was created as human, Adam consitutes other symbols as well. The name Adam, by the meaning materialist body (soil-man) symbolizes the body of every human, man or woman. Adam is also symbol of the male human, it symbolizes the man, and Adam is also the symbol of the man by the general meaning. So Adam is the symbol of the human as was first created, he is also the symbol of human's body, the symbol of male human, and the symbol of the father, because he was the first father. By all these meanings, he is general the symbol of man. We are all children of man, and so we are children of the symbolical Adam. He also represents the human of the pre-historic era.

      The age of Adam is not of course the age of the first man. No one could know how long he lived. If God would reveal how long the first man lived, then certainly God would reveal how long his wife lived as well. This age is the code of pre-historic human's era. Eve is the symbol of the soul, man or woman; she is also the symbol of the woman, and the symbol of the first mother. Let us see closely the writings. For example, one tradition used to say; ‘The gods created man in their own image, and male and female created them.' And the other said, gods created the man first, but after they realized that it was no good for the man to be alone, and after they created the woman. And Moses added allegorical, God put the man to sleep, and while (allegorical) took one of his sides, created the woman. 

     So as it is very obvious, these words are modified public beliefs, in order to broadcast various messages of the Lord. If we accept them literally, then of course there is a contradiction. Not only the one story contradicts the other, but also, this prospect doesn't stand at all. Is it possible to be true, that the Omniscient Creator created first the man, and then the Lord said; O' I made a mistake, it is not good for the man to be alone, let put him now to sleep, and take one of his sides, and create the woman. So very clearly, it was about public beliefs and traditions that were modified to speak allegorical language. The divine message of the first modified belief is; God created man and woman, (humans) and joined them together to reproduce the kind, as the Lord did with the other kind of life. The second reflects the circumstances, in which the woman was degraded, and therefore they used to load all their misfortunes on the shoulders of the poor woman. She was the guilty for everything wrong!!

      Moses modified and this tradition or the public perceptions, to pass more complicated messages of God. The one symbol Adam symbolizes the materialist body of every human, and the one symbol Eve symbolizes the soul of every human, and together constitutes the same human. Adam as body is a part of Eve, and Eve as a soul is a part of Adam. The one message says, God created the human by soil, meaning created first the materialist body, and then Lord in His holy way blew to him breath of immortal spirit, blew to the human, his and her, immortal soul. God gave to the human Eve, who is his or her soul.  

      Now Adam is also the symbol of man, of the first man and every man, and Eve is the symbol of woman, the first woman, and every woman. The other message says, God created the first two people, male and female, and joined together with the love and sex. God joined them as one body, and yes, the real love and the sex join the couple as one body. God created male for the female, and female for the male. So the words of the verses 21 until 24 have a lot of meanings. The first says, God created first the human body and gave him the soul, and also created man and woman and joined them as one body. Allegorical, God took one side from Adam to create the woman, which means, the woman must stand at the side of her husband. But while the woman is (allegorical) side of her husband, then the man must also stand always in the side of his wife, because the woman is his side. Both are equal, because allegorical, the woman is a side of the man; she is neither his foot nor his head. God didn't take from his foot nor from his head to create the woman, and therefore the woman is not his foot, nor his head, and the same thing applies and for the man.

     The man has his own head and feet, and the woman also has her own head and feet, both can walk and think freely, but when they get married come close to each other, they come close as souls and bodies, and join together as sides, namely as equal humans. The one is belong equal to the other and become one body, without be head or feet, neither for the one to be under the other's feet. The woman is not a footstool of the feet of the man, nor the other way around. So yes, the woman was created for the man, but exactly the same, the man was created for the woman too. The one belongs to the other, and of course, without the one, would be impossible for the other to exist. The bodily supremacy of the man, by which would oppress his wife, or the bodily weakness of the woman, which would convert into evil power to control her husband, or even if she uses other practical methods, are belonging to the barbarity and selfishness, these kinds of behaviours, do not join them as one body. But when truly love each other, then they become one body, and while they become one body, then where is the inequality? When they siphon love from God, they become one body, and therefore become equal, and if there is not love, then they become according the circumstances equal or unequal. But only the first matches with God, and never the second. Then, did God depreciate the woman?                     

     Not of course. God didn't depreciate her, the historical circumstances, the lack of love, and the barbarity depreciated her. The master man did it, and he was also the victim of the circumstances. Because if someone depreciates his wife, he also depreciates himself, and under circumstances of oppression, in which there is no freedom and really friendly relation, the real love and joy would be missing and of course the real happiness as well. The social perceptions and the circumstances were those that consecrated the depreciation, and people used to say, this is the will of the gods, but as we saw the holy inspired Moses modified them to speak other allegorical language. The side of Adam, which God "took", to create the woman, was certainly Moses holy allegory. We also realize, that in those barbarian conditions, which prevailed for many centuries, and yet do, the depreciation of the woman, while bodily was weak, it was not only inevitable, but also it was somewhere necessary.
