“first human-being aware of God”[edit]

I don’t see this corroborated in the body of the article or in relevant literature. Am I missing something? IncandescentBliss (talk) 09:08, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I added this descriptor to encompass as many ideas surrounding Adam as possible. For example, some theologicans proposed the idea of Pre-Adamite. It should not be understood to be exclusive or implying that there is a common belief about humans unaware of God preceeding Adam. If you think it is distracting, I would be fine with this descriptor being removed as per MOS:LEAD. VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 13:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On a second look, the Druze are mentioned, who speak about Adam as " the first spokesman (natiq), who helped to transmit the foundational teachings of monotheism (tawhid) intended for a larger audience" VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 13:34, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adam was not born[edit]

The infobox says he was born on Day 6, 1 AM, but he was not born; he was directly created. Should the infobox be changed to say "Created" and "Died" instead of "Born" and "Died"? Luke10.27 (talk) 21:49, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

lead section[edit]

The lead section has paragraphs on the view of Adam from Christian, Muslim, and Gnostic viewpoints. It seems to me that there a similar paragraph about the Jewish viewpoint. Ike9898 (talk) 16:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is that the leadsection is a summary of the article, but there is no section about Judaism in the body of text. (And no, Judaism is not Christianity without the New Testament). As soon as there is a section dedicated to the concept of Adam from Judaism, based on reliable sources (Original researches from Torah, Tanakh, etc. are not reliable), a paragraph for the Jewish perspective can be added. Therefore, the lead should be added by another topic as soon as there is more in the body of text.
