Note:
Time calculation did not start until after sin entered the earth
Adam and Eve did not have any children until after they were expelled from Eden. *(Cain and Able) are not included in the calculation because no times are given for them. They were somewhere in the first 129 years of calculated time
5:1 “ This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
If we add the 130 years to Seth's birth date to the 105 years Seth lived before Enos was born, we obtain 235 as the number of the year after Creation in which Enos was born. Genesis. 5:9-11 reads as follows:
9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:
11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died”.
5:12-14 reads as follows:
12 “And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:
14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.”
Genesis 5:15-17 reads as follows:
"15 “And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. Adding to Mahalaleel's birth year (the 395th) to his age of 65 years at the birth of Jared gives us the year 460 as the year in which Jared was born.”
Genesis 5:18-20 reads as follows:
"18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.”
By adding Jared's birth year (the 460th) to his age of 162 years at the birth of Enoch, we get 622 for the year of Enoch's birth. 
Genesis 5:21-24 reads as follows:
"21 “ And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."
By adding to Enoch's birth year (the 622nd) to his age of 65 years at the birth of Methuselah, we get 687 as the year after Adam's creation that Methuselah was born.
5:25-27 reads as follows:
25 “And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died."
By adding to Methuselah's birth year (the 687th) to his age of 187 at the time that Lamech was born, we get the 874th year after Adam's creation as the birth year of Lamech.
5:28-29 reads as follows:
"28 “And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.”
By adding Lamech's birth year (the 874th) to his age of 182 years at the time that Noah was born, we get the 1056th year after Adam's creation as the year of Noah's birth. If you subtract Adam’s 930 years from that you get 126 years that Adam had been dead when Noah was born. Noah was 600 years old when the flood came
9Gen. 7:6). Adam had been dead 726 years when the flood came
Did you digest it all?
