How old were Adam and Eve when they were married?
How old were Adam and Eve when they were married? Do we count it from the time that God put their spirits into them, or from how old their physical bodies would be (like how we talk about the age of a dog in dog years)? Did God force them to marry when they were younger than 18? Was it okay because it wasn't polygamy?

FIRST GENERATION
1. The earth was created on 25 March, 4001 BC. Adam was created on Saturday the first day of Nisan in the year zero which was 31 March 4001 BC. Eve was more "made" than created so her date is unknown. She could have been formed on the sixth day or later but it is not worth arguing about. Adam and Eve were married that year in the Garden of Eden. Having been created by God to be perfect and to live for eternity they lost that position when they disobeyed God’s command. Because of their sin they were condemned to die. Adam and Eve were 130 years old when Seth was born. Adam died at the age of 930 years in the year 930. Adam and Eve had the following sons plus other sons and daughters:

If Adam lived until he was 930, then in Adam years he was about 13 when Seth was born (divide by 10).
I wonder if things would have been better if God would have done more chaperoning on Adam and Eves playdates.

How old were their children when they first practiced incest?
I also wonder if Adam had sex with any of his daughters, grand daughters, great-grand daughters... Heck since he supposedly lived to be over 900, you have to wonder how much sex he had, and with which descendants!
Jerry Springer would give his soul to the Devil to have Adam and Eve's family on his show.

I'd say that any discussion of their respective ages would be subject to presentism. So it matters not.
Oh yeah - and they're make believe, so it would be like wondering whether an orc could beat a troll in arm wrestling.

Weren't they each essentially new creations, as in like just a day or so old, even if their bodies were created fully adult?
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

Except according to LDS theology, Adam did not get a woody until after they were kicked outta the garden.the road to hana wrote:asbestosman wrote:How old were Adam and Eve when they were married?

That wouldn't reconcile with Genesis 1:27-28.
They were given the mandate to multiply and replenish the earth prior to being kicked out of the G of E.
