Have at it, if you want --- I'm game.Is this where we start talking about belly buttons?
Then don't bring it up, and I won't have to listen to it.and scars... and tree rings... and this same conversation loop again and again ad nausium.
Except Adam was created in a glorified state.Presumably also some of the life experience of a 30 year old, otherwise he'd struggle to walk and eat.
From answers.com:
Thus Adam had the height, weight, and intellect of a 30-year old man, but without a history.
Not Adam.Wrong. If he had the intellect of a 30-year old man, that would mean he had a history.
Not Adam.Most of our...
I understand you want to talk about a past, a future --- anything but BC 4004 and Genesis 1 --- but it won't work.... intellect comes from our experiences over the years.
Embedded knowledge --- such a terrible thing to waste.To be truly free of any omphalos, Adam would need the height and weight of an adult with the intellect of a newborn.
Not Adam.Not Adam.

You'll end up causing yourself to go 404, then blame me for it.Embedded knowledge --- such a terrible thing to waste.
God.Out of curiosity, what's the specific source for him having the intellect of a 30 year old?
But where did you pull 30 from?
That's actually a good question.I still don't see where you get 30 years old.
He doesn't --- He simply gave Adam employment.And why does God need a gardener?
...He doesn't --- He simply gave Adam employment.
Here, let me help:So you are saying age is the state of being old and old is the state of having age? Do you have another definition that doesn't use circular reasoning?
Unfortunately that's just not true.Based on redshift = distance/velocity theory, the universe is 13.7 billion years old with 78 billion years of age embedded within it.
So the light that determines the 13.7 billion years of age, isn't that light red-shifted also?Unfortunately that's just not true.
The furthest stars appear to be 78 billion light years away. If the light wasn't red-shifted we'd think the light had taken 78 billion years to reach us and the universe would appear that old. The fact that it is red-shifted makes it appear to us that the universe is expanding and therefore the light didn't need that long to reach us.
How did you determine that? What makes it look that way?The universe looks about 13.7 billion years old

I used to say 20, until someone pointed out 30 for a reason I can't remember.
In any event, whatever Adam's age was at the time of his creation, he was a full-grown mature adult.He doesn't --- He simply gave Adam employment.
Contrary to popular thought, we're not going to be sitting on clouds strumming harps for eternity.
