3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: 4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died (Genesis 5:3-5).
These genealogies are very interesting and they reveal several interesting facts. People lived a long time and they each had many children. There were likely very few genetic diseases as the gene pool would have been relatively uncorrupted. So the population on the earth very rapidly increased. It is also easy to see how the eyewitness accounts of Adam would have been told to many people who would have had an opportunity to know that Adam existed. Adam lived to within 125 years of Noah being born. So Noah’s Father (Lamech) may have actually known Adam.
