Adam and Eve in Mormonism

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) teaches that Adam and Eve were the first man and the first woman to live on the earth and that their fall was an essential step in the plan of salvation. Adam in particular is a central figure in Mormon cosmology. Latter Day Saints scripture in particular applies the Mormon concept of divine pre-existence to Adam to state that Adam and Michael are one and the same, having taken on a mortal form after his victory in the War in Heaven.
