George Q. Cannon teaches that the God who formed this earth is the same Being who walked in Eden; the Father and Son are distinct persons.
George Q. Cannon in "General Conference," The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star 51, no. 18 (May 6, 1889): 278
We believe that we are the literal offspring of Deity. We have descended from the great Being who formed this earth, and from Him we have inherited the glorious aspirations to be like unto him. . . . We believe in a God of revelation, who will give more and more light to us til we can become like Him. We worship the Being who has revealed Himself to us. It was necessary at the outset of this work to have a revelation from Him. There were many erroneous ideas about God, and the first revelations to Joseph Smith was the appearance of the Father and the Son. I have heard that there are some among us who say that both are one person. This is a fallacy. There are two personages, the Father and the Son. God is the Being who walked in the Garden of Eden, who talked with the Prophets. This revelation came to us in a certainty.
