Hi John,
Regarding Noah dying Heshvan 17, 2006 from Adam.
This is the same idea of my book. However, I do not think we can determine the day Noah died. I am not so sure that Noah's birthday was Heshvan 17.
I first found Heshvan 17, 2006 by counting 14,400 days (40x360) from June 7, 1967. I did this because it was a momentous event (taking of Jerusalem in 1967) and that it was 2,520 360-day years from 518 BC which began the rebuilding of the Temple. It was the last of 4 dates highlighted by 2,520 years that could use a 40 year period into the future. I then looked up "Noah 2006" on the computer in the spring of 2002 and found nothing except that Noah died at 2006 years from Adam. This fact helped clinch it, especially since Heshvan 17 is a significant day of Noah--the starting of the Flood. This was my initial logic. Two separate things confirmed the date.
