Here is what the Smiths Bible Dictionary says for this :


Generation. In the long-lived patriarchal age a generation seems to have been computed at 100 years, Gen. 15:16, comp. 13, and Ex. 12:40; but subsequently the reckoning was the same which has been adopted by modern civilized nations, viz., from thirty to forty years. Job 42:16. Generation is also used to signify the men of an age or time, as contemporaries, Gen. 6:9; Isa. 53:8; posterity, especially in legal formulæ, Lev. 3:17, etc.; fathers, or ancestors. Ps. 49:19.


Below is some other general information about it online :




I think, the general rule of thumb from what I read online, is a new generation is created every 25 years ( but that varies from family to family ) . So, would you times the length of a generation , times 14 I guess ? . But It depends on how long that specific generation was also .

The word generation, can mean other things in language, aside from something biological.


Here is some information you can read :

Adam had seth 130 years
Seth had Enos 105 years
Enos had cainen 90 years
Cainan had mahalaleel 70 years
Mahalaleel had Jared 65 years
Jared had Enoch 162 years
Enoch had Methusalah 165 years
Methuselah had Lamech 187 years
Lamech had Noah 182 years
Noah had shem 500 years
Shem had Arphaxad 100 years
Arphaxad had Selah 35 years
Arphaxed had Eber 30 years
Eber had Peleg 34 years


There is the fourteenth generation
that is 1855 years


Peleg had Reu 30 years
Reu had Serug 32 years
Serug had Nahor 30 years
Nahor had Terah 29 years
Terah had Agram 70 years


2046 years to Abraham
about 2000 year from Abraham to christ
and about 2000 years to us


Mankind would die out every 2000 years without
some kind of intervention spiritually
a savior blessing.

Notice
Noah means "REST from the evil land"
He was 500 hundred when he had Shem, that is the record
Abraham waited until he was a hundred.

Likewise the FIRE coming will give us rest from the evil land

Like Noah, so shall the coming of the son of man be.

Also Notice they didnt have Mcdonalds back then and they lived longer.

When they ate meat, their lifespans decreased tenfold.

When they ate meat,
they had precosious puberty from 150 years to 15 years

we have cases now at 8 years old, those who eat a lot of hormonal chicken...

meat really screws up the human body
and their lifespans decreased tenfold.
God knew that, that is why he gave them meat to eat
also because that was all they had for a year...

Non Biblical hypothesis, fun to think about

Cell death mediation signals are super potent intra cellular and INTER cellular transmitor molecules adaptations to spatial and temporal factors to regulate self organization direct intracellular growth production, etc etc and release of compensating of regulator transmitters and counter tras ionic gates in myriads of ways,

there are intracellular death signals that are present when we die and the body thinks and reacts as if you are dying,
and there are proteins that cross cell membranes

these react on DNA synthesizing proteins and are present in cows and chickens same as us

When animal is dying, the cells react and send out a GOODBYE WORLD hormone signal
when you eat them,
they turn your cells on and off, in many ways
when a cow dies these are released to shut down certain processes
when you eat a killed animal your body reieves a few of these signals
and responds ...

The closest we can get to the fountain of youth is to be vegan.

When you study these small events you relize evolution is not possible.
Those who still uphold evolution are just plain liars to keep their jobs.
