Adam Quote by Ken Ham

“God, the author of language, programmed Adam with language when He created him, as we know they conversed right from the start on day 6 (see Genesis 2). Since God makes things perfectly, Adam knew what death meant — even if he did not have experiential knowledge of it.” quote by Ken Ham
