Why isn't Adam considered to be a son of his Father God in Judaism?

[@shleaumeau7740]

Adam and Chava have no father and mother, they have a creator. A father and mother operate as part of a duo. Hashem was not their father because there is no mother.

Can you please explain how did prophets recognise God? Musa met God in Mount Sinai right?;how did he verify that that was God and how did he verify that he is the only God ? OF course he could not have travelled and scanned the whole universe to verify in person that the person whom he talked was the creator of the universe? . And can you please explain the definition of superstition? Why should we not consider god is the origin of superstition??

Moshe had first spoken to Hashem at the Burning Bush, and from that moment forth had a face-to-face relationship with Hashem like no one else before or since. Other prophets received visions and dreams, or messages from heralds/angels. Moshe was constantly in contact with Hashem and heard the Divine Voice. It frustrated Moshe's wives, because Moshe could never be truly alone with them or give his undivided attention. Moshe's existence was strange and alien to most of his Israelite companions. However, Hashem's presence was unquestionably with them. The generation in the desert is known as the Dor Daas, meaning the "generation of knowledge" because they saw the miracle of Splitting the Sea, heard Hashem's voice from Mt. Sinai (all Israelites heard Hashem say "I am the lord your god and you shall have no other gods before me") and studied the Torah all day without the material distractions of searching for food/water/shelter and material wealth.

If there were multiple gods, then creation would not have been possibly sustained since they would be in conflict with each other. How would they be in conflict? Because the fact that they would be different entities means there is a difference in their essences, and with different attributes how would they all agree to make such a unified nature and universe? Thus there is only one God who holds all attributes and lacks nothing, being the perfect Being
