Did people really live that long? (bible, faith, religion, Old Testament)

No problemo. It is just an attempt to explain away in the most unscientific way, and hopefully some Christians will believe in that and use that for evangelical purposes

Glad you think that the idea is crazy. At least there is one sane soul around

If they were moving that slow how is it they had children??????

hey, here's an idea. If been watching this thing about the ageing gene. Science closing in on ageing gene. Studies in rats have shown that removing this gene extends the rats lifespan. Up to twice it's normal lifespan. This gene is responsible for triggering all the other age responses in the body. I suppose mankind before this gene got into our lineage, could have lived much longer than we do now.
