Well, you're ignoring that Genesis 1 explicitly states that "adam" created at that time was created in God's image. But I'm curious to know upon what basis do you rest this theory about the one referring to mankind in Genesis 1, and that it was a proper name in the second? Are you trying to suggest that God has the form of an ape man? That would be contrary to all Jewish theology up to the present day. Does God have DNA?

Your citation of Strong's doesn't support the distinction you are making. What does? (According to the interlinear bible I consulted, Genesis 2 refers to "the man" (ha'adam). Is that a proper name?)
Quote:According to most 'traditional' interpretations of ha'adam, the term is usually translated into human in the Priestly creation. However, in the Yahwist one ha'dam [sic] is translated either into human, Adam, or man, depending on the context.
