I don't understand how this is in any way baffling. There were plenty of humans around for people to observe when the bible was being written, and some of them probably lived to be quite old.
- missedthecue 5y agoHow many 120 year olds do you think the average person would be exposed to several thousand years ago? Especially in an age where birth certificates did not exist. I have never seen a supercentenarian myself, and I have been in a lot of nursing homes. I only know they exist because of the internet to be honest.
- nicoburns 5y agoPersonally, probably not very many. But traditions of information sharing and story telling between humans have been strong long before the internet. This isn't some obscure information about space or DNA or something. This is something that would have been relatively accessible without technology.
