Given the age of creation, can we know the approximate generation number from Adam to people today? Actually, we can in some instances. The full genealogy from Adam to Jesus was 76 clearly listed generations, and from Noah to Jesus, it was 66. In Luke 3, we even have a full biblical lineage from Adam to Jesus through notable progenitors, like Noah, Shem, Abraham, David, and Joseph (Mary’s husband), who was only the supposed father of Jesus (Luke 3:23). 1 After Noah, we split into three sons (Japheth, Shem, and Ham), and from there, to everyone today.
We are certain from Genesis 5 and 10 that Noah was in the tenth generation from Adam because all the genealogical data is given from father to son. I’ve heard this title’s question many times over the years.
