How did Prophet Adam PBUH lived 930 years and was a giant?

[jellal]

Well, I mean their is no scientific proof for this or fossils found of giants and such, a really confusing matter to me that effects my imam greatly.

[ahmad12]

If it is possible for Allah to save Ibrahim from the fire, and to save Nuh from the flood and to create men and jinn from nothing, then of course he can give Adam 930 years of life and a gigantically tall stature. As for remains, have you dug up the entire Earth to find the remains of bani Adam? If I cannot find the grave of my great grandfather, does that mean he did not exist?

My wife who is new Muslm came up with a beautiful answer I think

Firstly. Humankind has only studied a very small percentage of earth. As an expert diver, and living in the Carribean it is no surprise to see odd creatures of the sea and strange "large" object only Allah knows resting on the substrate beds.

Secondly. Do we see the jinn ? Do we see angels ? In there originally form or "any form".

Finally. Do you honesty believe all the large bones found had been strange dinosaurs ? Could they not have been of
Another creature only Allah knows about. When they find bones of many dinosaurs they are not at the same excavation
Sight, simply put togeather by a scientist as they believe

Allah is great and there is much we do not know of the past. Look at the change in only the last 100 years.
There have been powerful nations before us with strength we cannot imagine.

May Allah guide us all

[abdulwahhab]

What I find arrogant (this isn't directed at jellal) is that scientists admit and agree that subatomic particles have been known to spontaneously appear from nowhere. Is that not the scientific proof they require for the existence of a creator and creation in action?

[Kashmir_85]

One question I have always wondered in the back of my head; at what time period did Adam pbuh live? I know they were the first person and all that; but exactly how many years ago was it? This has always boggled my mind, and also dinosaurs? Were they around at the time of Adam pbuh

assalam alaikum
Is there a hadeeth he lived 930 y?
Jazakum Allah khaira

before june 2006 would not finding the fossil of a giant she camel also give you doubts:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6035113.stm

Its not possible to prove how long adam as lived and we dont especially need proof because we have proof that qur'an is divine revelation so after that, we can accept everything inside wthout needing proof for every single claim. We are still digging for fossils now, hence why this giant she camel was found in syria, so its no difficulty for us to believe taht adam alayhi salaam could be somewhere although I dont belive Allah would allow us to discover it because it would prevent teh fitnah of atheism completely and the fitnah of atheism is a test Allah has designed for mankind. We will not be shown sure 100% empirical proof of islam until the sun rises from the other direction which will be too late for mankind to make any repentence then because they have seen tanglible proof.

This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah - (2)
Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them, (3)

bro.
The complete knowledge of unseen rests with Allah the almighty alone. Even if we dig up a recent grave you won't find any bones, even the bones disintegrate. The only bones that fossilize are the ones that are preserved by the will of Allah . Don't use science to measure Islam, because science deals with only the materialistic world and it miserably fails to deal with the unseen realm. So have faith in Allah and ignore such whispers of Shaytaan that induce doubt in our minds. Seek refuge in Allah.

Proof from modern science is not an evidence requirement in Islamic creed.
