The 411 - Adam and Eve

 

Did Adam and Eve die in the flood during Noah’s time?

According to the Bible's account in the Book of Genesis, Adam and Eve were not alive during the time of the Great Flood that is associated with the story of Noah. According to biblical chronology, Adam and Eve were the first humans created by God and were placed in the Garden of Eden. They lived long before the time of Noah.

The Great Flood, as described in the Bible, occurred as a divine judgment on the wickedness of humanity in Noah's time. Noah, along with his family, was chosen by God to build an ark and save himself, his family, and pairs of various animals from the floodwaters. This event is typically dated many generations after Adam and Eve, making them long deceased by the time of the flood.

The Bible provides genealogies and lifespans for the early figures in its narratives, and according to these accounts, Adam and Eve lived for several centuries. For example, Adam is said to have lived for 930 years, and his descendants, such as Noah, were born many generations later.

So, in the biblical narrative, Adam and Eve did not die in the flood during Noah's time because they lived in a much earlier period of human history.
