How can the Bible (entire) be written in 1000-1600 years as the pastors claimed, if the sum of the lifespan years from Adam to Abram (Abraham) is 11,329 years? I do not know what you were told in the church, but I was told that "Adam" came to the Earth 6,000 years ago. If so, then he would have met some Nubian, Egyptians, Indians, Mongolian, and Middle Eastern individuals anywhere. If I recalled to memory correctly, an ancient relic of Auset (Goddess Isis) and her child was found discovered somewhere on the African continent to be at least 10,000 years, older than Adam. Adam the 1st, no, just another person to the population number, if he actually existed.
