From Adam to Noah-the Numbers Game: Why the Genealogy Puzzles of Genesis 5 and 11 Are in the Bible Leonard Timmons

This book will challenge your intellect while challenging your view of the Bible. If you're unsatisfied with traditional views, this radical view proves that the Bible is founded on science and engineering. You will re-think everything you've read there.

From Adam to Noah-The Numbers Game shows that the genealogy of Adam in Genesis 5  is a number puzzle containing a fully-functional, highly-accurate calendar, accurate to 4 seconds per year. Our calendar is only accurate to 10 seconds a year. This Divisible Calendar has a 364-day common year, a 369-day leap year and one 365-day year every 33 years. The calendar is a major work of science and the number puzzle is a major work of engineering.

Why hide a calendar in a number puzzle posing as a genealogy? A "wisdom culture" existed in this region where wise men taught with riddles, puzzles, and parables. Teachers hid their lessons in these parables and their students had to solve the riddles to learn their lessons. In Proverbs, Solomon tells his students that he will teach them how to understand "the wise and their riddles." These wise men were the scientists and engineers of this time and they used their riddles and puzzles to protect their scientific discoveries.

These ideas may be hard to accept, but From Adam to Noah-The Numbers Game won't talk down to you. It invites you to think. It invites you to use the math you learned in high school. It invites you to respect the abilities and the intelligence of those who wrote the Bible. If you can do that, you can understand the Bible.
