I just realized this. The Bible states Adam lived 930 years, but he couldn't have been 930 years old because it appears as though he was birthed as a man -- not a child. So how old was Adam when he was birthed, or how old was he when he died?

Apparently he was old enough to know better but too young to care.

He was 0 years old. God made him as man, yet he had just been created. Remember, this is God we are talking about :)

I honestly don't know simply because the bible does not tell us how long he was in the garden. The 930 years comes from Gen 5.

1 This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created. 3 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters. 5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

We can make a case that Adam did live exactly 930 years from the moment that he was created since verse 3 seems to follow chronologically but that would be just an educated assumption.

Yes, technically he was 0 but was he a child, young adult, adult? I suppose it would have been better to ask: what stage in life was he birthed at? Haha.

well if he was going to give him a wife I hope at least 13! haha. The bible doesn't say.
