Change your story again. I am sure no one will notice.
I believe Drich is arguing that the genealogies can start when Adam and Eve leave the Garden of Eden? So Adam lived 930 years outside the Garden of Eden and millions or billions of years inside the Garden of Eden?
Of course the simpler explanation is that Genesis is fiction. How could the Israelite slaves live in Egypt among cats and not take one cat with them when they embark on the Exodus? There is not one mention of "cat" in the Bible, and I believe Biblical archaeology has yet to find any evidence of cats in early Israel. Who would take gold when you could take a cat? Therefore the Israelites were never in Egypt. Therefore the Garden of Eden is also fiction.
