At this point, there's no definite answer as to the number of generations between the creation of Adam and Eve and the present generation. The Bible doesn't supply exact dates.

There are suggested dates for the Creation. But they're only suggestions. So a guesstimate may be offered by selecting one of those systems of suggested dates. One such dating system was proposed by James Us[s]her [January 4, 1581-March 21, 1656]. He pinpointed the Creation as having taken place the night before October 23, 4004 B.C.E.

A generation represents a standard age difference between parents and children. That figure tends to be represented as 30-40 years. So the number of generations from 4004 B.C.E. to nowadays ranges from about 150-200, depending upon whether a generation's seen as 30 or 40 years, respectively. The age also can be averaged to 35, which changes the number of generations to around 170.

In my own genealogy, it is 138 generations back to Adam.

Answer 1

Adam and Eve came to Earth 4.6 billion years ago.

Answer 2

The exact time that Adam and Eve were created is unknown.

All the holy script states is that they were created on the 6th day, and we are not certain whether these were 24 hour days. There are places within holy writ that state that 1000 years to man is as a day with God ... If this were true in Creation, by the time Adam was complete, 6000 years had passed ... and there are many other beliefs regarding time frames as well.

It would appear though, that if holy writ was correct in its described time frames regarding the Biblical history of Man since Adam's Fall, that is, there have been about/almost 6000 years in the history of Mankind.

If we deduce and hypothesize further, and consider that according to Moses' writings, God rested the 7th day - after creating man, that would now make a time period of seven (7) of God's days since God commenced His last rest ("Sabbath"/"holy") day - which means that the earth is about due for another Rest Day, according to the reckoning of God ... given that we treat the theme that one day with God is as 1,000 years to man seriously.

The significance of this, of course, is that it is just about 'due time' now, that Jesus Christ made His famous Second Return to the earth: thus the "Second Coming of Christ", by this deduction, is just about due.

Approximately 6000 years. If you follow the genealogy in Genesis, the years add up to 2000 before the flood and about 4000 after. Kent Hovind came up with this theory. You can watch his seminar "The age of the Earth", which explains his theory in further detail.

Did Adam and Eve live during the ice age?

No, they lived, according to scriptures, in the time of the beginning of Earth and the universe. (But it is very unlikely that Adam and Eve even existed.) The estimated age of the earth is 4.54 billion years old, and the earliest ice age was 2.4 to 2.1 billion years ago, so there is a 2.14 billion year gap between the beginning of Earth (And possibly Adam and Eve,) and the earliest ice age. And the projected age of Adam and Eve is over 100 years old, so if Adam and Eve did exist, there would be no way that they could have lived during the ice age.

Is everyone on earth a child of Adam and Eve?

A:In religious belief, yes - for many Jews, Christians and Muslims, everyone is descended from Adam and Eve. However, there is firm scientific evidence that this is not really the case. Humans evolved hundreds of thousands of years ago from hominid ancestors. There was no Adam and Eve.
