Adam was created, according to Genesis, on the 6th day. Some theologians maintain Adam was 800 years old when he died. So that would mean he lived from year 0 (or rather 1 since zero hadn't yet been invented) to year 800, minus 6 days.
The theologians are wrong. The account says the following: "Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died." The 800 years is the 800 years after he fathered Seth at age 130.


"America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own." -John Quincy Adams -
