Adam lived to be 930 years old... Do you think.....

There are no mathematical gymnastics required. Man was originally created to live forever, And the soul still does. But after the fall, there is a gradual decline in the ages of men. Adam's son Seth lived to 912 years,Enosh lived 905, Kenan lived 910. Mahalelel lived to 895. and so on til you get to Noah who lived at least 600 years until the flood. Then after the flood the ages dropped quickly. until people were only living a hundred years or so. GOD even says that "the Ages of men will be 120 years. We don't see that many people living longer than that even today. But you have to understand this is when the human race was brand new. They weren't polluted with disease the way we are today. We always like to think that the average age has increased over the years but really it has decreased. Even a couple of centuries ago, the average was brought down because of a high Infant mortality rate as much as by longevity. We have been able to raise that rate because we have more babies that survive today. The purity of the human race is also the reason that incest was unknown at the time. We don't intermarry today because close relatives usually carry the same genetic defects. And pass them on to their children. but this was not the case in the beginning.

I don't think Adam lived 930 years of our time, as in the sense of living 930 X 365 days. I say so because the text in Genesis is not to be interpreted with wooden literalism. We need to interpret it literally, but not with wooden literalism. By 'literal' interpretation I mean to say we need to interpret according to what the author intended it to be. 'Wooden literalism' is what we normally understand from our perspective. when we try to interpret it literally we try to go back to history to understand what the author had meant to the first reader. Strangely in the Sumerian list, king En-Mebaragisi, lived for 900 years, but through history we know he lived normal years. It is also found that there were 8 to 10 kings, each ruling around 43,000 to 18,600 years. More kings ruling between 1500 years to 100 years. These all say that the numbers in the Ancient Near East writings are not to be taken in the way we understand it now. Ernest Lucas, an Ancient Near East scholar from Bristol Univ, says, perhahps, decline in the year of reigns by kings and life-span of people is to mean the moral decline.

No. A day is a day, and a year is a year. In Genesis, one day is described as one evening and one morning. That's a day. Knowing that, if you tried to reason that "old year = present month", it would make no sense. Don't sweat it, though--it's not a literal story, nor is it supposed to be taken as one. That's why it contradicts what we know now.
