The two schools of thought are either 66 or 76 generations between Adam and Jesus. The 66 years holds more credibility from my study on the subject. I simply took 70 as an average. Multiply that times the 70 year life span and add the 2011 years since Jesus and you get 6911 years since Adam. Most scholers have stated approximately 6000 give or take since Adam.

Where did the two schools of thought come from and how did they get 70 years as a generational span? How old was Noah? Solomon? Come on, let's come up with the justification for this. If I die at 15, does that make my generation 15 years? If I die at 1000, does that make my generation 1000 years? How do you relate one individual's life span to another?
