Adam's colophon.

“This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.”

This passage marks the end of Adam’s document. Just as God gave the first part of this document and Moses used the original source in his research when he wrote the book of Genesis, Moses also had access to this original document and he included this source in the document. The last part of the colophon (Noah Webster: http://1828.mshaffer.com/d/search/word,colophon;cited 13 May 2010, defined colophon in the following way: “COLOPHON, n. The conclusion of a book, formerly containing the place or year, or both, of its publication.”) This colophon gives the place, the earth, and the time nine hundred and thirty years after God created him. Of course, Adam didn’t finish the last three sentences, one of his descendants completed this part so the document would be complete in every way.

We can confidently believe the written testimony of this man who was an eye witness to these events.

Modern scholars base their dating on Ptolemy’s canon rather than the Biblical time line even though they have discarded his cosmic system, where the sun rotates around the earth, and his calendar, the 365 day year Egyptian vague calendar. They also reject the truth of the Bible because they don’t believe in God and they are also anti-semitic and will not accept the truth of Romans 3: 1, 2 “What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.” These are the oracles of God, hence they are the accurate historical record of those days.
