Genesis is crap. Read the Epic of Gilgamesh.

As the early genelogy of Genesis only list one child of each of the people names, it is difficult to determine what was the youngeest and oldest ages for parents. The oldest listed is Adam at 130.
Beyond that, anyones guess...

It went into their 100's. I remember reading recently, one of them, I think Methuselah (sp?) had a child at 120's. Abraham was late nineties or early 100's when he had Isaac finally.
