The young earthers are resting on a foundation of folly.
One cannot calculate based on the age of Adam at death. His age in years was from the time of his expulsion from Eden, not from the date of his creation.
Adam was immortal with no need to count his years; nor would he likely understand what a year was.
Nor do evolutionists escape ridicule for their knee jerk jibes and attacks on the Bible. Adam could very well have been in the Garden for a billion years.
There is simply no way to know for certain.
Excellent point.
(One thing I am certain of, though - Jesus died for my sins, I accept Him as my savior, I will live with Him for eternity).
Fair enough. But years existed, nevertheless - COUNTABLE years. So age existed, although it was irrelevant to Adam's original state.
I am not a hard line Young Earther, and we could say that God did not for a billion years advise Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. It stands to reason, the animals were procreating at the beginning, so Adam and Eve would likely have started early too.
Gen 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it."
There is simply no way to know for certain.
Except Genesis 5:5 is very explicit about Adam's age: "all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died."
There is no ambiguity in the amount of time that Adam lived.
