    CHAPTER II THE TWO CREATIONS 1. The TWO Creations, and the two Gods. 2. The names Elohim” and “ Yahveh Elohim’’ never inter- changeable. 3. The Difference between Pre-Adamite ” Man and Adam. 4. Chronological Difference between the Two Creations. 5. Existence of the “ Pre-Adamite ” Race. 6. The “ Sons of God.” The first great point of difference between the first and second Chapters of Genesis is that we find there are two different names given for “ God.” In the first Chapter the name “ Elohim ” stands for God, and in the second Chapter we find the name “ Yahveh Elohim,” which stands for the Lord God. Dr Jean Astruc, a French medical professor, who founded the modern criticism of the Pentateuch, elaborated a theory, in which he states that two separate authors were responsible for the Pentateuch; the one who uses the name “ Elohim ” for God is called the “ Elohist,” the other, who uses the name “ Yahveh ” for God, is called the “ Jehovist.” The “ Elohistic ” and the “Jehovistic” writings became blended together, and hence we get the names “ Elohim ” and “ Yahveh,” which are inter- changeable.
