So Q>d (Ehdiim) created man in hie own image, in tha image of God (Kiohitn) created ha him ; male and female created he them. Be fruitful, and -multiply, and replenieh the earth, and euhdoe it, and have dominion over the fish of the eea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that amveth upon the earth/ Now, let ue torn to Uie 2d chapter, and beginning at lha 4Lh verae, because the ie* count of Jahoveh'e creation, ** " Calinan " terms It, begins at the 4th vera# of the Id l.*M? ?Tk^, ?l ?? ' v..* Iivvv ?n vuc ^cuciKVIUIIII UI VIIat hMTrnl ?n<i of the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God (Jtt hovnli Elohim) made the earth and the heaven*, and every plant oi lha field be k fore It waa in tha earth, nnd'every herb of the field before it grew, for the Lord God (Jehovah Elohim) had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there waa not a man to til) the ground. But there want up a miat from the earth, and watered the Whole faee of the ground. And the Lord God (Jehovah Etnhrp*) f 'fmed man of fhe dust of tha ground, and breathed Info h>e nostrils the breath of life; and man beoanae a living soul." Tha queetion to be : settled here is this." ffc> both these accounts refer to the same creAtlon ; or do they refer to two dlVrrlfl creel ions f It is plain to my mind that it ia the- same ereatiou referred to in both chapters, one being a repetition of the other, rather ia detail. The 1st chapter and tha 1st verae declares that " in the beginning God ere ated tha heavens and the earth." And heie, in the 2d ahapter and 4th veree, we i *r? voio, - meae are me generation* of the !w*v*ns and of tlie earth wAew they were created, in the dey thai the Isord God mad* the earth and the heavens." Now, if there are two creations of men recorded in Genesis, an account of one in lha 1st clispte-, and an account of the other id the chap ter, there are two creations of the heaven* and the earth, also, one Kenv#i> and on* earth created by Etohlm and the other t>y Jehovah, Both creation* are introduced (that is, if there are two) in lha same order, with a statement of the creation of the heavens and the earth, first, then the Vag etable kingdom, Ac., before there is anything said in relation to man. Henc, if there is a pre Adamite there mnet be a preheaven and a pre earth too, for his abode. Lei * kmb at the fifth- chapter the lot and' td verses, sines " Cetlban 4 tells us this is a short " rotnme " of tha creation hy E!o him or God. ' Caliban" says: "7Ttere were mew upon tkt earth btforx Adam." Ths Bible, howsver, " every word " of which' "Caliban"' say*. " h trne,"" tail's us hvVe, ' This is the book of ths generation* of Adam; In ths day that God ereated man, k> the likeneseof Qod mad* he him ; male and femala ereated he them, and bleeeed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were evented." Now hare tn? ?rrj hiub impiiigil IH'O, IHK It foun?] )a the let chapter and 28th vara* of Q'enceta In tha lei chapter and 23th verse, wa are told that * Ood created man in hi* own image, in the image of Ood created ha him; mala and female created ha them," and'in the recond verse of tha fifth chapter itta added, "and eailed their name Adam, .in tha day whan they vara created."' If " thtrt war# mtn upon th* cmrlKbtJora who ware they! Caliban* aaye, "Ha area tad them, mala and female,'* and that " both aaaea eprang out of earth at once."? If th<y diJ, tha Dlble enye, tbla " mala and fejnale " were oallad " Adam, in the day tbay ware created." How, if Caliban's * drat proposition ia trm>, hie eeaond le falea. Ills Are! proposition ie true; therefore, hie second is falea. This same author, in order to surmount a very seriona difficulty in the way of hie politico, that tha negro, ia a.. pre-Adamite. makes another assumption, that tha fkiod was npi universal, but.only partial upon the earth.
