What's funny about this is that this isn't even a consistent argument for you. I distinctly remember you arguing that Adam that Adam must have been about twenty because that's the age of adulthood for the Hebrews or something like that. This parrallel is a completely new thing that you've never mentioned before.
Nevermind that I can't find a single scholar on the subject that agrees with your reasoning. This is a question that's come up a lot, and most of the theologians I'm aware of agree there's no way to really know. But you seem so sure on it, I'm sure you've read the Bible better than they have. You get these amazing insights. People have been reading the Bible for centuries and never came to that conclusion, but here you are, boldly proclaiming. It would be one thing if you were just admitting this was only an idea of yours, but no, you talk about it like ti's so obvious and easy to see.
Do you think that the Bible and/or reality must adjust itself to what you find appropriate?
And this equates to adults? How so? And surely, the level of PHYSICAL development can't be said to be in the image of God. After all, I don't see God as having gone through puberty, or having to shave his beard, or having to wash his hair.
That isn't a "yes or no" question. (Jesus had some things to say about lawyers.) A man is in his prime morally at about three. (Never trust anyone over 4.) He is in his prime sexually at about 16. He is in his prime physically at about 25. He is in his prime intellectually, if he is careful, industrious and lucky, at 70 or above.When is a man in his prime? Around 30 years of age? Yes or no?
Does the bible say Jesus is the second (last) Adam? Does it say he
was around 30 years old when he received the holy ghost and started
his ministry?
Yes or no?

Common sense and logic need to prevail here in light of what the
scriptures say.

'Hoatzin chicks have claws on their wings, as do some chickens and ostriches. This reflects the fact that bird ancestors had clawed hands.'
That is Mr. Strawberry's and your opinion, based however on the opinion of certain very liberal scholars. Anyhow. As impossible as it is to prove that any extant 'sacred' manuscripts (which we do not have) were the product of any deity (no matter how that was done), so too is it equally impossible to prove the existence of any such deities.
What prompts you to be so sure that (a) Deities exist, and (b) that the sacred writings of any such deities can be shown to be authoritative?

You really need to read better.
I stated the authors of the gospels are ANONYMOUS.
If you have studied the work of scholars and historians, you will know this is a widely accepted conclusion, even by many conservative scholars.
If you can stick an age of Adam into the bible, why can't you stick an age of the earth (say a few billion years) into the bible?
Common sense, logic, and evidence need to prevail here.
What did I write?
I don't know, trying using the back-link on your posts 'and see how deep the rabbit hole goes'
It's good to know that we're on the same page, with regard to certain of the books of the NT.
Applying the same, how do you rate the letters of St. Paul -- say for example the book of 'Galatians'? Authorship, age etc. ?
Removing science from the classroom would be catastrophic. How would we educate chemists, engineers of all types, biologists, doctors etc.... all of which MUST believe in the TOE to be applicable????
In the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's, in Canada, evolution and creation was taught side by side as the theories they are. The student was then given the opportunity to believe the one they thought was the truth. It was not jammed down their throte that we all came from apes and if you don't believe that then you need some of Gracchus's drugs. Why does this scare the evolutionist camp so much?
And we built great things, great planes, fought a war against the genocide of the Jewish people. Great structures, and great scholars...... Wow and all coming from an education system that didn't teach just creation or just evolution. IT taught both and it thrived.
Look at the US. Removed God from the schools and now is destined to collapse under the weight of it's unbearable debt, crime, corruption and the cost of protecting itself from nations all around the globe.
The middle east is an extension of what you are trying to protect. ONE LESSON, ONE TRUTH. OUR WAY.
Because I have stated it before. Jesus is the second Adam and he
started his ministry at the age of 30. Received the holy ghost at
that time as well.
God breathed life into the first Adam. He had language and intelligence
from the start and was obviously of marrying age.
All logic points to Adam having the appearance of 30 years old when
he was 1 minute old.
If you don't know what I wrote, why would you claim; "that isn't what you wrote"?
As to your other question, that was asked and answered some time ago.
Back peddling?
Please point out the sarcasm in post 368#
Not at all.
You know what you wrote and what you didn't write, and if you want to delude yourself - no problem.
Now you getting the idea. It helps to read and remember what you wrote, or else you'll drown in a localized flood of self-pity.

I would love to see creationists here apply this concept to the scriptures.Common sense and logic need to prevail here in light of what the
scriptures say.
