[Question: So, If adam and eve were naked in the garden of eden, how did they figure out how old they were?]
It doesn't say how old he was when he was created, only that God made a mature creation. And God taught Adam and Eve everything they needed to know. He likely also preprogrammed Adam with all his scientific knowledge, which would explain why pre-flood civilizations seem to be so much smarter than we are.

What?!! The only things we're told pre-flood civilization did:
Cain killed his brother because God liked his brother's animal sacrifice more than Cain's vegetarian one.
Cain and his kids founded a bronze age Arab settlement that doesn't exist anymore; and one of them played the lyre, one kept cattle and another made stuff out of bronze and iron.
Lamech killed a guy for wounding him.
Everybody had a bunch of kids and lived for hundreds of years.
God said that everybody except Noah and his family was a piece of crap who deserved to be drowned, so he killed them off.
Did I miss something, or is KiraJenLove reading from the Authorized "Pull-It-Out-Of-Your-Ass" Version of the Bible again?

I know the feature I most miss about the pre-flood civilizations is their instantaneous travel via teleport. Of course, one mustn't forget about their medical expertise. Many were the times when the quick use of cortical stimulators and laser scalpels kept a patient going during delicate heart surgery.
"And God taught Adam and Eve everything they needed to know."
Then why did he lie to them about the supposedly deadly nature of the fruit?
"... which would explain why pre-flood civilizations seem to be so much smarter than we are."
First of all, the Biblical flood is a myth and a blatant plagiarism of earlier flood myths. Secondly, the average lifespan at that time was like 30. So you lose on all counts.

Of course the real answer is that when he removed the rib to make steve, he counted the rings...
Oh and they were smarter (than you and yours anyway) back when this story was first told 'cause they understood allegory...
Since there is no evidence of flood, there is no evidence of pre-flood, since there is no evidence of pre-flood, there is no evidence of pre-flood civilisations.
And there is no evidence of any millennia old civilisation being more knowledgeable than we are. Hence the lack of ruins on the moon.
1. What the hell does having clothes have to do with someones age? Note the picture, baby clothes does not make them babies

2. I have a feeling my dog is smarter than you, and he's pretty dumb for a dog.
3. Those movies about Atlantis, yeah they were fiction, but you people have serious issues with that word.
I don't understand the question, I guess, but if it's his first day on earth, he's 1 day old - practically a new born in a man's body! right? (or an alien just landed here - not sure)
And I though it was Carl Linnaeus that came up with the taxonomy, but it was the scientifically programmed Adam who must have done it when he was naming all the plants and animals. Turn back the clock a few thousand years...
"Well now, you're a pretty animal, and so good at catching mice, mus musculus , I think I'll call you 'cat,' or Felis Sylvestris Catus . And hello, what's this over here? You look like my cousin. I'll call you 'gorilla.' In fact I like that name so much, you can be Gorilla gorilla ." It could keep a guy occupied for a while.
Only half fail, I'm afraid.
While it's still myth, KiraJenLove actually answered the question, and that's a rarity here.
Fine, the preprogrammed scientific knowledge is rubbish, but it's still an attempt at an answer.
"which would explain why pre-flood civilizations seem to be so much smarter than we are."
One: Those civilizations that existed in the period of time before the flood was supposed to happen weren't significantly more advanced than those that existed after it was supposed to happen.
Two: If the flood did actually happen, there should be little to no traces of those civilizations anyway for which you to make this judgment!
The fact that you people can say these things without spontaneously combusting is a further discredit to your muddle of a God.
@ Mattural Selection
Discounting the answer for a second... why would clothing have anything to do with figuring out their age?
What comes to my mind is; being naked, Adam should have been able to count to 21, using fingers and toes, and whatever else he had there in front of him.
@ David B.
If 'pre-flood' civilisations were so smart, how come only one person knew how to build a boat?
He didn't. Have you checked the measurements? That thing wouldn't even have made a good barn.
Anything and anyone is smarter than you fundies, but leave us normal humans out of it, please. I mean, you need to be monumentally stupid to believe one word of the crap you wrote.
Do you often judge your age based on your clothes?
The fact that you believe in The Flood shows that people in ancient times were indeed smarter than you are. The rest of us, who adhere to scientific discoveries, are perhaps a little bit smarter, on average, than they were.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
