Gramps, Were Adam and Eve created in the Garden of Eden or were they created somewhere else and then placed in the garden? If they were created somewhere else, where was it? Thank you. Linda, from Utah [answer]

Subject: how and when did Adam get the priesthood? quandary - Elder Hales says Adam and Eve were sealed in the garden, which, I would think, would mean that he first received the priesthood. But it also appears that he wasn't baptized (again??) until he had grandchildren (Moses 5:1-12; 6:51-53,64-67) So, Gramps, do we have a chicken and egg problem here? Did Adam get the priesthood before baptism? Brian [answer]

Hi Gramps, I have a 2 part question...Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? And, since belly buttons are in fact a scar, are we going to have belly buttons after the resurrection? Just curious. Silas in Payson, Utah [answer]

Dear Gramps, I have a question for you. In Moses 3:21 it says that God put Adam to sleep, took a rib and closed the flesh back up and yet President Kimball has said that the rib thing is symbolism. I am having a problem with this since it sounds so clear in the scriptures. I must be missing something. Can you explain it? Sandra [answer]

Hi Gramps, I was just reading through your page, which I enjoyed, and I was interested by the statement from Brigham Young about Adam being brought here from another world. I've read it before in Discourses of Brigham Young and Skousens First 2000 Years, but I have also read statements to the contrary, i.e. Joseph Fielding Smith is quite adamant in Doctrines of Salvation that Adam was literally made from the dust of THIS earth. How are these two completely different views to be reconciled? How do we explain when two prophets of God contradict each other on what should be a relatively straight-forward issue? And are there any sources other than Brigham Young that give evidence for the extraterrestrial transplantation argument? Thanks Dave, England [answer]
