What year was Adam and Eve born?

Answer 1

There is no way to precisely identify the year in which Adam was "born" or created by God (note that Eve was an independent creation from Adam and so her birthdate would be independent of Adams; see Genesis 2:18-22).

It should be noted that the current "western" method of calculating Biblical dates centers roughly around the birth of Christ as a pivotal marker in time.

When you see an ancient date with the letters B.C. of B.C.E. preceding it this means "Before Christ" or "Before Christian Era." Although not seen as frequently modern years are followed by the letters A.D. In latin this means "Anno Domini" or roughly "in the year of our lord." Occasionally you may also see the letters C.E. which means "Christian Era." This is counting time from the same point as A.D.

Years preceding Jesus birth are counted in reverse (for example 1 B.C.E. is one year prior to Jesus birth. 2012 B.C.E. would be 2,012 years before Jesus birth; 1 AD would be one year following Jesus birth and 2012 is 2,012 years after Jesus birth). There is no zero year B.C.E or A.D.

Some estimates place Adam's creation sometime in the 4000s B.C.E. Others 3000s B.C.E. Whichever estimate you choose this means that Adam was created over 6,000 years ago.

Answer 2

4004 BC according to Bishop Ussher, but there are other dates calculated by others ranging from 3700 to 5760 (Barry Setterfield).

Perhaps only a minor thing to some, but it must be remembered that neither Adam or Eve were born as humans ever since are: they were created.

There was no Adam and Eve. Modern humans (Homo-sapiens) have been on earth for at least 200,000 years. Those old myths have no basis in truth.

Aas far as the writings of The Bible and according to biblical theory Adam lived approximately 4000 to 5500 BC

Answer 3

According to a man named James Ussher, the world was created in 4004 B.C. and since Adam and Eve were created in the garden of Eden that would have been when they were there.

You are given all the answers to this question in biblical text. You must understand the structure of time in order to understand the answer to your question.

1) 2nd Peter Chapter 3 will define 3 reiterations of this earth (the word used is eons)

2) 2nd Peter Ch 3 will also identify a day with the Lord is as 1000 years to Mankind

3) 2nd Peter Ch 3 will identify that the 1st iteration of this earth has passed away (perished) it was known as the time of the dinosaur Job 38

4) There are 6 days of creation in Genesis 1 (6000 years) then a day or rest (+1000 years) or 7000 years total (the first week)

5) Genesis 2, Adam is formed of 6th day creation as the man to till the soil, on the day after the day of rest (8th day). This begins the second week

6) We are now on the 6th day of that second week (6000 years from the forming of Adam)

7) Chris will reign for 1000 years (one day) known as the 7th day of this second week. Then comes judgment, after judgment comes the 3rd reiteration of this earth (Revelation 21).

Answer 4

If you adhere to the chronology of James Ussher then it would be 4004 BC. This cannot be a 'set in concrete' date but many others have come up with similar dates using the Bible as their history source.

Answer 5

According to Usher's Chronology, the first day of creation began at nightfall preceding Sunday, October 23, 4004 BC
