If we were spawned fully grown (apart from the INTENSE pain inflicted on our mothers) we would still be a mental and emotional infant, incapable of speech, stumbling on uncoordinated limbs, and experiencing everything new for the first time.
Adam was made a man according to the Bible. And since he was made by God in His image, He bestowed on Adam any amount of intelligence He wished.
A baby is someone new to the world, with no past experience to guide it. I suppose if an adult was thrown into unfamiliar surroundings they could be considered a baby, but more than likely a newbie since they would have already built up life experiences that could assist them in an unfamiliar place.
The simple definition of age is a chronology of time from birth to death. Age can be relative, however, for adults have differing skill sets and experiences of the world. A sheltered child might be considered younger than his street-wise peers simply due to the lack of comparative skills.

the answer to the first is yes i would still be a baby but only if i didn't had the capacity to interact whit others and to communicate , but if i had all the capacities which i have today i wouldn't be a baby but a new born which in this case would be different .
the answer to the second is not Adam was not a baby since he was born perfect and as told by the bible he was eternal meaning that he didn't aged like all of us .
the answer of the third , age is the nothing but the years we have expend on this planet , although many say that age is only on the mind but this is only mentally and not physically .

No. I think Id be considered a grown up. I think a baby has to take the physical, newborn-form of a baby as a baby. Otherwise its not a baby. My definition of age would be the number of years, or moths or minutes youve been living. And I think Adam was a man, not a baby. But alens might have different views onthis subject.

i imagine evolution is real (no longer Darwin's theory) which produced diverse people in the international in the course of the time of Adam and Eve. What Adam replaced into replaced into the first human to comprehend God and complete the point of introduction of understanding God consciously. The backyard of Eden replaced into yet another call used as a fashion to describe the limitless bliss of merging consciously with God and and gaining limitless understand-how (the apple) and limitless skill. i'm no longer effective, besides the indisputable fact that the snake would were symbolic for the snake-like progression evil spirits bypass round in the astral. Evil spirits are also God which keeps a stability between God's knowledge and unconsciousness that's unavoidable as long as God continues to be wakeful. Unconsciousness only won't be able to overlap knowledge, which could no longer available. as long as God is wakeful there'll be unconsciousness, and evidently, and he will be wakeful perpetually, however "perpetually" isn't pertinent because the endless "now," that's reality and the purely actuality, is undying.

That would depend on if you believed in 'tabula rasa' or if you believed in genetic memory.
Many behavioralists think that humans don't have any real instinct, though we all seem to have certain 'hard-wired' abilities.
Biological age differes from develpomental age which differs from actual chronology. Maturity often correlates with age but we all know some very specific examples of exceptions now don't we?

It all depends. some aliens might be born as adults but never mature internally.
adam didn't exist
A baby is a sacred miracle of life
age is the process of checking the progress of time by internal and external events.

Yes.
The difference between an infant and an adult is not in the size or the shape, but in experience.
And there's plenty of grown up babies around to prove this.

I would say no,especially if as an adult you had the capacity of
thought,speech and action. Babies have to learn all of the above,
they are also small and defenseless.

Maturity is based on mental and physical (reproductive) capabilities. An adult male without mental maturity but fully capable of reproduction would be classified as ...ewe?~smiles

Well if you buy generative grammar you'd be a non-linguistic mess too. No way to get that language ball rolling after a certain developmental age.
But! supernatural circumstances can call upon supernatural explanations!
