I re-read my response and clearly it was a bad post (sorry!) because I should have said, Adam only lived 930 years - so 1,000 years in Eden was out.
True, we don’t know how long he was there - but we do know how long he lived.
Methuselah was the oldest person to ever live as he died at 969.
Yeah, I can see what you meant.
As I noted to another poster, I have an Excel chart based on the genealogies in Genesis 5 and 11 that shows the lives of the patriarchs as “stacked” bars, and when you actually SEE who was still alive to see the birth of how many future generations, it shifts how you conceive of them. Did they stay in community? Did they know each other? Did Noah meet Abram at some point? He had about 60 years of opportunity.
None of these kinds of ideas ever crossed my mind until I made that chart.
