Why should I do that? It's already been done by the 17th c. Primate of all Ireland, archbishop James Ussher, who admitted that there were gaps that he had to fill in, but still without certainty determined that God created the earth on Sunday Oct. 23, 4004 ... and silly gullible Christians fell for it, and believe it ... like you ... like the Bible is a math book ... and can be used to add up up the generations ... when that's not the purpose of the Bible, and can't be used in that way.
He can't be faulted. Ussher lived before the age of science, that determined scientifically the actual age of the earth being circa 4.5 billion years ago ; besides even before the discovery of the gap theory ; and so his calculation was falsely based ; not according to science ; falsely believing the Bible is science based.
The truth is, in the Bible there is no book, chapter, and verse, that tells when Adam's predicament began. The truth also is, Ussher's calculation is extra-Biblical, and based on a false premise.
So again, show me book, chapter, and verse(s), that tells when Adam's predicament began. If you can't, you're basing your conclusion on a false premise ... and is not convincing in the least.
