Why should he have? He has Adam's age at the time Seth was born and proceeds from there. Why does he need more?

lol.....and when did Adam's 'age' start?.....when he was born?.....oops, he wasn't.......
???
The timeline is based on how many years he had lived so that would start when God created him.
Genesis 5:3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.
Can we all go to such lengths to pretend there is ambiguity wherever we like or is it just you and in the places you choose?
pmp always gets around to turning the Bible into his personal "choose your own adventure" creation story. But if anybody else plays they are not Christian and/or they are being dishonest.

that would be your assumption, not something the Bible states......logically, there would be no expectation that people would "age" prior to sin entering into paradise......
therefore, the conclusion that the Bible tells us the earth is 6000 years old is not based on anything the Bible states, but upon your (and Ussher's) assumptions........
in addition to that the Hebrews did not consider the data that Ussher calculated to even be a genealogical timeline.....why should Christianity?.......

it is simple fact that the Bible makes no statement of what you assume to be....which of us is choosing their adventure?.....you, Ussher, and the young earthers choose to believe in a 6000 year old earth.....the Bible does not tell me this is so......
I believe I am consistent......there have been situations where people have said "the Bible says x" and I have demonstrated it does not actually do so......this is simply another of those situations......you can say I am choosing my own adventure...the truth is, I am choosing to look at what the Bible says instead of assuming it says something.....
the fact that you are often the person on the other side is not because I have redefined ambiguities.....it is because you are fundamentally ignorant about what the Bible says......I believe intentionally so......

Genesis 5:3 says he lived 130 years. There is nothing about aging. Ussher age of the earth is based on the Bible. Look at the link I posted. There is a timeline with biblical references. Ussher had even more references to support his calculations.
The Bible does not tell you this bullshit about cat kind or your inventions concerning Noah either. You are just making it up as you go. You errantly cherry pick the Bible, the theologies of the yec / answers in genesis nuts and science. You are not consistent at all. Then you demand that others accept your interpretations and nonsense as if you are some sort of authority. You are not. Any thing you say on the subject is suspect as you have proven yourself to be an ignorant liar.

the Bible does not make the claim that was 130 years from when he was created......you and Ussher make assumptions.....the timeline is based on assumptions.....

did I not prove your claims to be only assumptions?......does that make me a liar or does that simply make me someone who can identify your errors?.....
Genesis 5:3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.
What else could that mean? Was he created before he was alive???
PostmodernProphet

obviously, it could mean 130 years after Genesis 3......
So he had not "lived" until he was outside of the garden of Eden?
Your reinterpretations are ridiculous. You are far crazier than Pat Robertson.
I don't really see how it helps you though as it still leaves you with only two humans that had not started living until 6000 years ago.

if you choose to assume that the list Ussher used is the equivalent of a genealogical table.....the Hebrews do not use it as such....
Why did you avoid the question, chickenshit? He had not "lived" until he was outside of the garden of Eden?

You do realize that what was written, was done so in a way that the people of that time coud understand.
I'm not sure that if it was written to say that what God did took 600 million years or so, that there would have been much recognition of the time frame.

Since he did not know evil, until then, you're probably on the right track.
Sounds good to me.

Stop worrying about this petty stuff. When your car breaks down, who fixes it? The mechanic, or the mechanic's tool box? Science is God's tool box. It's simply the METHOD God uses to create...creation! I believe in science, but more importantly, I believe in God. And those lucky people that believe the earth is only 6000 yrs. old? They have a child-like faith that delights God, because they are concentrating on his message to us. And that message is that he loves us(even those that don't believe in him!).
Yes, I understand that it can be allegory. But what parts? Frankly, you'd have to be half insane to insist on incorporating any of the first five books into your view of the natural history of the world. Most of the rest of the Old Testament is just myth or pure fiction.
It's an absurd invention. If we can redefine "lived" to being cast out of the garden then the sky is the limit.
