The basics of the Adam/God Theory states that Adam is the spiritual father of all the people of this Earth, including Jehovah. It does NOT equate Adam with Elohim.
Currently this theory is denied by official LDS Doctrine, and many would like us to believe Brigham Young never supported it. The truth is, he did. He believed that Adam lived on a different world, where he obtained his exaltation, and that he then had spirit children (us). Those spirit children needed bodies, so he, Michael, became the Adam of this world.
We are taught that if we obtain our exaltation we will have spirit children of our own. Where this theory falls on shaky ground is believing we will some day become the Adam of our own world. There's no doctrinal support for this. Or is there?
