A pet theory of Brigham Young's that the current LDS Church has distanced itself from, which essentially says that when God came to earth, he brought Eve, one of his wives.

It's kind of a twist on the normal Christian theme of Christ being God incarnate. Brigham Young takes it a step to the side and makes it that Adam is God incarnate.

It's not current mainstream LDS teaching. Regular Christians would be offended by it for a number of reasons, but most of them don't know about it, unless they study Mormon history.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

Not many people know much about their own religion. So then the whole doctrine on the subject of the creation within LDS teachings contradict? Nice.
Just punched myself on the face...
