200+ (Adam and Eve)

[Somkid]

Calender years were measured by the seasons thus 1 of our years equal about 4 of their years.

Has anyone ever thought that, since different men wrote different parts of the bible, that they may have used different time frames? We already know that the information throughout the bible is not fluid and cohesive. If you consider that lifespans have been increasing throughout time, not decreasing, then it stands to reason that people would have lived for much shorter timespans in that era than now. It is possible that the ones tracking lifespans were using lunar months instead of solar years. Divide 600, 700, 800, and 900 by 13 (lunar months to a year) and you get...46, 54, 61, and 69. Ages, for that era, that would be considered old to extremely old.
