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. permalink fedilink source parent
