According to a theory that from the surviving documents can be neither proven nor disproven, Adam spoke Hebrew in the Garden of Eden. Secondly, according to theory, he wrote Genesis 2:45�5:2, in which YHWH is listed as the name of God, from the beginning.

Not everyone agrees with that theory, but from surviving records, it can�t be
ruled out.


Yes it can- and it should. It is ridiculous speculation such as one would find on a list inhabited by UFO-ers and the like. It really doesn't even deserve mention on this or any other reputable and respectable list. Let the folk over at "bible history" discuss it's merits- it has none.
