No Stephen,
Genesis 1 in my view is the proclamations of what the universe would be like,
made by God prior to the existence of the universe. There was no Adam prior
to the creation of the universe. The Genesis 1 Adam refers to the Genesis 2
Adam in the same sense as a prophecy refers to the future. One Adam. That is
all there was.
