From another religious angle -
As I understand - prior Noah/Flood - the Bible records humans living long lives. (Say 1000 years)
Post flood / Noah - Humans were limited to 120? Or something like that?
Found the quote: Genesis 6: 3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with [a] man forever, for he is mortal [b] ; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."
So the religious interpretation could be:
a) See this proves Chapters 1-8 of Genesis
b) God will curse you / etc / etc
- Raphael 18y agoIsn't that interesting that the biblical limit is so close to the current outlier lifespans?
- Retric 18y agoI assume 2000 years ago some people would live about that long. It's going to be a smaller percentage of a smaller population but the are reasonably healthy 105 year old people in the world today so I assume there were a few back then.
