Is it possible from the book of bible to find the exact number of years from Jeses's birth to the birth of Adam(the first man's creation) . If yes, what is that figure ? Also is there any scientific logic for this year?

Using some logic and more than a few flights of fancy, James Ussher calculated the creation of the Earth down to the day and hour - something like October 23, 4004 BC at 10pm.
"Scientific"? Not hardly. Using the Bible for science is like using palmistry for economics.

man was created to live forever, Adam certainly was. God told him he would die the day he ate of the fruit. 2 Pet 3:8 A day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day. So, Adam died before he was 1000 yrs old because he died the day he ate. (not to mention spiritual death). Anyway before the flood it never rained on the earth, water came up from the ground. In Gen 1:6 when God says he set the sky between the waters on the earth and there were waters above the sky, the earth was surrounded by a sheild of water that caused a greenhouse effect all over the earth. This also protected humans from harmful sun rays and other harmful elements that would have aged them quickly. This water shield above the sky fell during the time of the flood. After the flood God told Noah that mankind was to be given only 120 yrs. And then the length of humans lives began to drastically decrease.

Approximately 4000 years.
The genealogies listed in Genesis chapters five and eleven provide the age at which Adam and his descendants each begot the next generation in a successive ancestral line from Adam to Abraham. By determining where Abraham fits into history chronologically and by adding up the ages provided in Genesis chapters five and eleven, it becomes apparent that the Bible teaches the earth to be about 6,000 years old, give or take a few hundred years.

Based on Biblical knowledge,
God made Adam on the 6th day.
1 day is like a 1000 years to the Lord
6 * 1000 = 6000years.
6000 years ago Adam was born

Depends. If you believe that every mark and letter of the Bible is literally true then of course you can, as the people's ages in years are given. I believe that Genesis is not literal so the times and days should not be taken in a literal sense. So to answer your question, no.

no. there's no scientific logic. there's to many considerations, and most of them are made up anyhw.
although, the evolutionary history of the primates can be traced back for some 60 million years
