If you say its not important or its just a detail then does that mean its not the word for word of God.
If you already believe the Bible isn't the word of God you don't have to answer this question to tell me what I already know. Go ahead any way if you don't read details to questions.

There was no Adam and Eve. What most Christians don't want to believe is, they're more of a symbol of the first man and woman.thats it.
And being cast-out of the garden of Eden was the awakening or loss of innocents. No there was no garden.

Adam and Eve were created perfect.They were designed to live forever.However,when they disobeyed God and sinned they began aging and eventually died.
Through the centuries man has gone further and further away from perfection and as a result his lifespan is today much shorter and riddled with pain and suffering.
From memory the oldest man mentioned in the Bible lived to 940 years of age.

Possibly, I have heard thru TV or a media publication like Discover or National Geographic that they earlier years of man were a lot shorter than the 12 months we have today.

if you live by the word of God and God is your world you believe. if you had a faith as small as a pebble you would be able to move mountains so how hard is it to believe that Adam could actually live to be 800 years old? by Gods will , he could

When God made Adam and Eve he intended on them living forever.When they sinned is when they started to die and passed that gene to their kids.So every generation has gotten weaker and weaker .Sure some advances in med has prolonged humans life expectancy but its just a quick fix.

You have answered your own question. Since it is the word of God and it states it yes he did.
