Was his birthdays calculated on the Calendar in uses in America today?
Obviously no so how do you know he was 900?
Don't jump so fast... if a Chinese person read the Bible today then 900 would be interpreted different to them because they use a different calendar.....

The Bible say Methuselah had him beat at age 969. Can you believe it?

Yes, the Bible says in Genesis 9:29.
No, when this was recorded, a calendar similar to the Jewish calendar was used. Then around 600 the calendar was changed to the one we use today.
We know he was 950 because the Bible records it. You were not there-therefore you can not dispute it.
Chinese people do read the Bible today, and they have the same problem English speaking people have. They must translate and recalculate. But that does not change the values of the calendar, or mathematics.
If one would switch to any calendar found on the link you provided, you could not find enough time to change Noah's age very much. I doubt you could find even 1 month, surely not a year.

Whatever the calendar, a year is always a year.
It is not up to the Chinese or others to decide how long it would take the Earth to complete its trip.

Depends on who you talk to. Some people, religious people, believe that people in his day lived so long because of clean living, and because of god. The more realistic answer is how they determined 900 years. Which more than likely could have been 900 cycles of the moon (75 years), or some other calender.

Before the flood the earth was much different.
In Genesis, it is written that God separated the water from the water and created a firmament (in this case our atmosphere). The water above kept out harmful sun rays. It also gave us twice the air pressure and oxygen level that we have today (we know this from air samples taken from amber). This was a very healthy environment (today doctors use a barometric chamber to reproduce this type of condition, in it people are healed much faster and of many different injuries and ailments).
