Adam according to the Bible lived 930 years. Man and beast lived much longer than men live today.
Evolutionist insist that the earth is millions of years old and therefore declare that the bible is inaccurate with respect to the actual age of the earth.
Could God have created the earth with the "Appearance of old Age"(millions of years old) just as he Created Adam and Eve with the "Appearance of Age"(Man&Woman)? Adam was formed from the dust of the ground but he came as a man not a new born baby. Therefore the earth would be much younger than it actually appears on the surface. The appearance of old age would be consistent with the "Creation story". God is absolute and can create as he chooses.
"In the beginning God Created the Heavens and the Earth". Genesis 1:1.

The Creator of the universe is the source of all energy. He uses it in many ways, the creation of the sun and solar system, the stars that we can only see some of them from the earth, God knows exactly the number of them in the endless universe, as well as how many hairs are on the head of each person. He can remember the details of each individual who has ever lived and how many people who are alive on the earth right now, and how many are dying, and being born at this minute. He has the future already planned and the time set to remedy the problems on the earth and the root causes of the present barriers that are preventing moral progress on the earth. Everything material had it's beginning from the spiritual realm of which was planned, and designed by a very intelligent Maker. If it takes a human to carve an arrowhead, for example, it took someone many times more intelligent than a human to design and make a strand of DNA to guide the development of a human being. No person can make life in a laboratory, and never will. The best inventor of all time can't even make a seed that grows into a tree, let alone the complex cells to develop into a life. This is easy to understand; it is because we couldn't make ourselves. We were given the knowledge that we possess, but we are not the source of knowledge and not the source of life or energy.

God created both Adam and Eve as physical beings which were eternal and not subject to age in any way as we know it. Age con-notates death. Age indicates a time factor is involved. The garden of Eden was created as a timeless environment not prone to change, and the beings placed in that Garden were beings made of the same stuff as the Garden--which was intended to be eternal and without death or ending. The nature of the physical Garden changed, as did the nature of the physical beings who existed in that Garden environment, when they broke the supreme law. "Thou shalt not comprehend the difference between Good, and Evil. For in the day that you do, you will surely die." The understanding of right from wrong---good from evil---beginning form end---created the stress which eventually altered the genetic structure as it was initially devised. The genes began to de-generate. This defect was then passed on to future generations of beings who were born thereafter.

man was created when, according to Sumerican texts written few hundred years before the Tanakh, gods grew tired of baking their own bread and doing other manual labor. thus man was created out of clay from the Tigris River in modern day Iraq to serve the gods, a process from which fornication between gods and godesses wasn't completely absent. this also sheds more light on bread being far more important than any apples in the old world!

The major worldwide flood changed everything. Fountains of the deep breaking loose and rain pouring down for the length
of days the bible specifies. Your comments above have a logic to them, but be prepared for logic enemies

As others say above, both were created as adults. God has no reason to deceive anyone.

Evolution is only a theory. God is a fact. What the bible says is fact. Period.

No appearance of age. That would be deceptive. God does not deceive anyone.

I don't know, but the story in Genesis makes sense to me. God did it, they were made full grown.

OK, but if we accept your idea, why do you worship a God who chooses to deliberately fool his creations?
