[I tend to agree, as it appears to me that God made Adam long after he created man.]

1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-23

But it is true! Christ has been raised from the dead! He was the first One to be raised from the dead and all those who are in graves will follow.

21 Death came because of a man, Adam. Being raised from the dead also came because of a Man, Christ.

22 All men will die as Adam died. But all those who belong to Christ will be raised to new life.

23 This is the way it is: Christ was raised from the dead first. Then all those who belong to Christ will be raised from the dead when He comes again.

Christ became the first fruits of them that slept, meaning they was no longer sleeping as they went with Jesus.

Hosea 6:2
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

Romans 8:29
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Romans 8:30
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

It is past tense to be glorified they would have to have been raised.
