    Also Adam lived quite a long life. Like several human lifetimes

    Then there is this fun titbit.

    Adam withdrew from Eve for 130 years after their expulsion from Eden, and in this time both he and Eve had sex with demons, until at length they reunited and Eve gave birth to Seth

        It might be a creative interpretation of Genesis 5:3, which I just read as Seth being born when Adam was 130 years old.

        Perhaps if they didn’t age in Eden, the concept of “living X years” wouldn’t apply, so “when Adam had lived 130 years” could be interpreted to mean after they’d been booted out. But they hadn’t had Cain and Abel before the Fall, so I don’t really see how that interpretation could work, unless it’s being merged with other narratives.
