Blurry Creatures EP: 360 The Two Creations: Elohim, Pre-Adamites, and Hidden Biblical Narratives with Ali Siadatan
Ali Siadatan, a researcher and theologian, delves into his provocative theory that Genesis contains two distinct creation narratives involving different humans. He argues that 'Elohim' refers to a divine council, suggesting a collective creation of humans before Yahweh crafts Adam for Eden. This interpretation sheds light on perplexing biblical puzzles, such as Cain's origins and the sudden emergence of agriculture. Ali's linguistic insights and connections between UFO phenomena and Scripture challenge traditional beliefs, inviting listeners to rethink their understanding of ancient texts.

- That data-driven effort was the key turning point for his thesis and subsequent documentary.
Check Original Words Before Accepting Doctrine

Ali Siadatan returns with his most controversial theory yet: that Genesis contains not one, but two distinct creation narratives involving different types of humans. Drawing from Hebrew linguistics and ancient Near Eastern context, Ali argues that the language of Genesis reveals that the word "Elohim" (traditionally translated as "God") is Divine Council language.
In this thought-provoking episode, Ali presents his theory that the creation story involves two distinct events: first, the Elohim (divine council) creating humans in their collective image who roam the earth, followed by Yahweh Elohim creating Adam specifically for Eden's garden. This interpretation attempts to solve puzzles like where Cain's wife came from, why he feared other people, and how agriculture suddenly appeared in the archaeological record.
From his research into ancient gods and civilizations to his groundbreaking documentary linking UFOs to biblical narratives, Ali's journey challenges both literalist and progressive interpretations of Scripture. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, his linguistic analysis and pattern recognition raise fascinating questions about what the text actually says versus what tradition teaches.
