There was actualy 1,666 years (I think) from Adam to Flood. Which closely resembles the Artist Formerly Known As Prince's album entitled 1999 .
What is crazy to think about is that Adam lived long enough to know Noah's dad. In fact Adam died like 60 years before Noah. So we can think that Adam talked to Lamech. I can see all the children, and grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc sitting around a camp fire listening to Adam talk about the begining and the Garden. Crazy...

So, basically, God's perfect world was so fucked up in the span of 2 1/2 lifetimes that he had to destroy it and try to start over. Then the earth had barely dried out and shit had started again because Noah got drunk and one of his own sons did who knows what to him to piss God off.
Insanity aside, do you realize that a garden can get fucking boring fucking fast? Adam would run out of story material in two evenings top. Also, I thought the generally accepted figure for Adam's life was 900 years... (for biblical litteralists, that is)
Wait, the entire world had to be wiped out because the first couple generations screwed up?! Maybe it's just me, but a world-wide population is needed to justify that! Did the women spray clusters of eggs into a stream for the men to fertilize, resulting in thousands of children in each mating?
Serious WTF contender.
I looked at genesis a bit and found that Methuselah died in the flood. Adam, his great^nth grandfather, was still alive during that time, so why wasn't Methuselah saved? Surely he believed the first hand reports from his family about the existence of god and how he made everything?
Don´t you read the Bible or don´t you know that Adam was Noah´s grandfather?. So, well, let´s asume that we find a solution to clarify where Seth´s or Caine´s wives come from, ands so........NONETHELESS, it´s a symbolic book and has nothing to do with Prince.
Ahh, the first numerologist of the month.
Forget Prince. I think 1666 more closely resembles 9991, which is an executive order issued by Harry S. Truman "Creating an emergency board to investigate a dispute between the Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway Company and certain of its employees."
There was actualy [actually] 1,666 years (I think) from Adam to Flood. Which closely resembles the Artist Formerly Known As Prince's album entitled 1999 . Do you know what non sequitur means? Besides the rather obvious errors and fallacies, you might want to know that the numerals that we use, 0123456789, were not in use when any of the Bible was written.

You got that right, crazy!
"There was actualy 1,666 years (I think) from Adam to Flood. Which closely resembles the Artist Formerly Known As Prince's album entitled 1999 ."Not so much, really, unless one is dyslexic. Who cares, anyway? 1 may resemble 11, but that doesn't make them any more closely related than 9 and 11.
"What is crazy to think about is that Adam lived long enough to know Noah's dad."
I agree, that is crazy.
"In fact Adam died like 60 years before Noah. So we can think that Adam talked to Lamech."
Even if two people existed at the same time, one cannot assume that they had any communications between them.
Also, you haven't shown that Adam, Lamech or Noah actually existed, nor that anyone actually lived to the incredible ages mentioned in the Bible stories.
"I can see all the children, and grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc sitting around a camp fire listening to Adam talk about the begining and the Garden."
Isn't imagination wonderful. I can imagine Snow White, living with 7 dwarven miners, passing a poison apple to an evil queen.
"Crazy"
Indeed.
I think the artist formerly known as Billy said it better:You may be right, you may be crazy,
But it may just be a lunatic,
that likes a crack whore.
My college roommate, who went on to become a Lutheran minister, was so crazy about Prince that she put up a poster over her bed of Mr. Symbol naked in the shower. Naturally it was the first thing you saw when you opened the door to our room. Yet despite this, my roommate did not believe that Genesis was to be taken literally.
But 1999 looks like 6661 upside down. By the same sort of free-association rationale, I could claim that the rapture won't come for another 3600 years!
Ah yes, and there are 365 days in a year, similar to the 349 people who boarded a flight from London to New York last Tuesday. Therefore, Adam was a dinosaur who only ate bananas before the flood, and only ate cheeseburgers after it.
Not Crazy at all, no.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
