To Summarize This Chapter

1. The Prophet Joseph Smith said that “very few” understand “rightly” the true character of God.
2. Scientists and philosophers have fallen short in their ideas of explaining the creation of man on this planet.
3. Mankind are the offspring of God. All things are reproduced through no other means than procreation and generation.
4. All the plants and animals came to this earth from another world.
5. Adam (Michael, the great Prince, the Archangel) came here with a resurrected celestial body, and brought Eve (one of his wives) with him.   By eating of the fruit in the Garden of Eden, their bodies were transformed, allowing them to have mortal children.
6. This doctrine, as taught by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, was gradually rejected by subsequent Church members and leaders, and today is           considered as merely a false theory.
