However, it's remarkably like the "Odin father/god" dichotomy unraveled several years back by Thor Hyerdahl.
Turns out "Odin" was a real man about 2000 years ago, possibly living in Azerbaijan, who took his tribe and fled to the far North to escape Roman conscription. No doubt at all about the "father/god" situation for Odin.
The Apostolic Charismatic Church of the First Born had members well versed in the old time religion of the far North (in the Sapmai) and they would have brought that belief with them in the early 1700s when they came to cut down trees in what is now Vermont and New Hampshire. Young could have been doing nothing more than discussing his neighbors' religious beliefs ~
Now, when do I expect the LDS to look into that possibility? Never, actually, there being a general inclination at the top to avoid the COTFB guys like the plague!
If I am not mistaken, I think the idea of the Adam-God thing started with Joseph Smith's "King Follet" sermon. Google "Joseph Smith's King Follet Sermon"
Three people recorded his Adam God speech. Two of the original accounts agree and one doesn't. Guess which one gets quoted by detractors? Historical documents from the time period are not verbatim youtube transcripts we have from today. Some of Brigham's speeches were recorded in shorthand and not fully written out and published until decades later.
Paul refers in the NT to Christ as the "Last Adam". It is a title as well as a personal name. 1 of the 3 recorders of the ADam God quote seemed unfamiliar with with the Biblical use and sense of the name Adam. The other two accounts are in line with Paul's intepretation.
