The point is that he has fudge the meanings to suit his own beliefs.
In some circles that is called LYING.
if you don't fudge the meanings it comes out as gibberish
Adam -Red
Seth -Anointed; compensation
Enosh -man
Kenan -possession
Mahalalel -praise of God
Jared -descending
Enoch -dedicated
Methuselah -he has sent his death
Lamech -poor made low
Noah -Comfort; long-lived; repose
The Bible is a wonderful book, but not a "magical" book.
Why do people insist on searching for hidden secret meanings in everything?
Is the gospel not plain enough?
" if it's on the Internet, it must be true"
Why is it that those who have nothing sensible to say always turn to cheap shots?
Here's what I did and found it in the priestly names too which I did myself. I've never heard anyone do this before so if it is a ruse then why is it in the scriptures do it again...
Adam אָדָם ruddy, man, person, or mankind
Seth שֵׁת Substituted or appointed – Gen 4:25; put; who puts; fixed
Enos אֱנוֹשׁ mortal, sickly, despaired of; forgetful
Cainan קֵינָן to chant a dirge; lament – Amos 8:10; Ezekiel 27:32; 1 Samuel 1:17
Mahalaleel מַהֲלַלְאֵל From מַ, praise הֲלַלְ, God אֵל – literally “From Praise God” or “Praising God”
Jared יָרֶד a ruling; commanding; coming down
Enoch חֲנוֹךְ teaching
Methuselah מְתוּשָׁלַח dwelling-places; afflicted; his death will bring
Lamech לָמֶךְ poor; made low; good for nothing
Noah נֹחַ repose; consolation; rest
Man, appointed mortal [and] sorrow[ful]. From praise God coming down teaching. His death will bring [the] poor consolation.
I present some thoughts on the sentence. Because Adam sinned, and because we all come from him, we die – made mortal1. Because we sinned, we are to have our days full of sorrow2. Indeed! Praise God, He (Jesus) came down3 and taught4 us that by His death on the cross He will give us Peace5!

Genesis 2:17“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

Genesis 3:17 “And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;” Genesis 3:19 “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”
3John 6:33 “For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.” John 6:48 “I am that bread of life.”
4John 12:49 “For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.”
5Colossians 1:20 “And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” Luke 4:18-21 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
You could even cut and paste the Hebrew and put it into Google’s translation and see that the meanings are still close even with the differences between modern and ancient Hebrew. You’ll have to separate Mahalale-el to get proper translation. Cainan is lost as noted and Seth has a differing meaning today.
These names mentioned in Genesis 5, that is, from Adam to Noah, present the Master’s plan. Which is also done in the priests named which I did on my own:
