From the chart above and the chart following, we can see that the time from Adam to Noah men lived on the average for about nine hundred years. The numbers after their name is the age they were when they had a son to continue their bloodline. After Adam and up to Methuselah, the pattern written in the Bible for each goes as follows:
When Seth had lived 105 years, became the father of Enosh. And After he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Seth lived 912 years, and then he died. (Genesis 5:6-8)
For Methuselah’s father Enoch it is written:
When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. Enoch walked with God; then was no more, because God took him away. (Genesis 5:21-24)
For Methuselah’s son Lamech, he died five years before the flood.
Notice how the life span is cut in half after the flood and then cut in half again after the Tower of Babel.

In looking at the chart above I have to ask myself, why aren’t more people who read the Bible aware of these times? I know the calendar years are at least within a hundred and fifty years of what various Bible scholars have for the times of Abraham and Isaac. Even with a hundred year margin, why do some Bible scholars get fuzzy in tracking the times beyond Abraham? God has written in His Word, this was how old they were when they had this child and this is how long they lived. Many Bible scholars account for the times before Abraham as symbolic rather than literal. These are crutch theories scholars use to support the lies they have learned and paid good money for in the educational and religious institutions of the world which Satan rules over. They know that in this amount of time people could not have evolved from one man called Adam into the many colorful races of today but this is what they’re taught that the Bible says.
White people did not evolve from Black people or vice-versa. Similarly, no race of people evolved from apes. For evolution to be true, there would have to be all the links living simultaneously. We have the apes and we have Modern man. We do not have anywhere near sufficient fossil evidence to support the transition from ape to man. The so-called evidence teachers still use in schools (the chart illustrating the progress in the evolution of man) have all except the Neanderthal been proven a hoax. We have all kinds of dinosaur bones; a lot of them are complete. Dinosaurs were way before mankind. Why don’t we have as many skeletons of man’s transition from ape as there are dinosaur skeletons? Answer: Because it never happened. Evolution is true to a degree but not to the degree of evolving into entirely different species. This process is called macro-evolution. An example of micro-evolution would be like the necks of giraffes getting longer over the millenias.
It’s as if God made the different species just as man has made the different models of automobiles. The first Corvettes made are not like the present Corvettes and you’re not going to find a link between the changing model years. Just because all cars have chassis doesn’t mean that all cars evolved from each other. In the same way, just because all vertebrates have their similarities doesn’t mean they evolved from each other. God made each according to the purpose it was to serve. Just as man has made a car for each individuals needs.
Speaking of God making each according to the purpose it was to serve: the difference between man and animal is that the animals know by instinct what their function is and do it, whereas most of mankind, being lost in confusion (i.e. absorbed in ‘Self.’) doesn’t have a clue as to their function or place in this world.
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent: Because he has appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead. (Acts 17:27-31)
