There is no reason why Adam has to be the same person as Ish of 1:27.
God created only one man and one woman. Who else could it be?

Please use the little reply button directly beneath the specific message you're replying to. The "Gen Reply" button is for when you're not replying to anyone in particular.

It says "male and female he created them" Where does
it say one each or two?
The text refers to "the man" and "the woman" at least a dozen times.
From my study...
I see no indication of any study. You've simply decided to ignore what the text plainly says. While there is more than one way to interpret Genesis, you've latched onto one that seems pretty obviously invalid.

The Bible clearly states that there was no domestic plants before Adam...
So the Bible says exactly what it means in some places, but not in others. How do you tell the difference?
Again, you are combining in your mind two different things. What the Bible actually plainly says is one thing, and we'll call this the literal interpretation. What actually might have happened, the truth behind the myth, so to speak, is another thing, and we'll call these the analytical interpretations.
You're shifting freely back and forth and between two different styles of interpretation to yield conclusions that make sense to no one.
