There are many who think that human longevity is gradually increasing. Science has shown that the human body is designed to last closer to 2,000 years rather than 100 as is the norm of today anyhow.
The Old Testament of the Bible states specifically that there were those born shortly after the "creation" of Adam and Eve, who lived hundreds of years.
Genesis 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years:and he died.
Genesis 5:8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
Genesis 5:11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
Genesis 5:14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
Genesis 5:17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
Etc. etc. etc.....
The arguement from SOME is that in those days, time was measured in a different way. That a year perhaps meant a month, etc...
No translation is varying to any degree that does not understand the simplicity of a year, which consists of four seasons, or the easily understood seasonal changes of one planetary orbit around the sun. The arguement that a year constituted less than a year carries little weight. Even if it pertained to seasons, a lifespan of 900 years would be reduced only to 200+ years.

Genetically impossible? Truth is by far stranger than fiction.
I desire full sovereignty for the indigenous, but I think the Bible (in its true interpretation) is far from being a deterrent to that.
It appears that human nature tends to claim "all-knowingness", yet there still appears to be too many un-answered questions. Someone like myself, who has the ability to legitimately turn grey areas into positive understandings may appear as being insulting to some. But an individual has the choice of accepting it as a completely new learning experience or simply regarding it as an insult. I assure you, that my statements are not made with any intent to insult.

Not trying to create any arguement here, but my information comes from good authority. I have a lot of knowledge about genetics, but personally have no written credentials as a geneticist. Neither do you, and the internet is generally a mixed bag of accurate/inaccurate information. People sometimes make scientific non-truths as a measure of their ego that chooses that they be the big "protectors of the sheeple" (so to speak). Or sometimes they feel that THEY or their culture is better protected by one viewpoint as opposed to another. So the arguement is moot here.the truth is that there is no evidence that humans have any reptilian traits that indicate any 'breeding' between apes and reptiles. Such a mix is genetically impossible.

Any evidence consisting of human remains which date back 20,000 years or so would likely be nothing more than dust. Written accounts of much human history is secured by the Universal Hierarchy, but the Bible gives much written account as well. With many of the indigenous of the N. American continent, this matter is a part of the knowledge known as the "Greater Understanding". Some indigenous people have looked at the Bible objectively and some have not. Some have denied it because of its mis-interpretations and mis-use, while others have accepted it to keep the peace. The truth is elsewhere.There is no evidence that humans once lived to be hundreds of years old. The only evidence shows that humans once lived shorter lives than we do today. The average age was in the twenties with the thirties being 'old'. That is assuming you survived infancy to reach the twenties.
I desire full sovereignty for the indigenous, but I think the Bible (in its true interpretation) is far from being a deterrent to that.
Hence, the reason I suggested an open-mind. Some things simply reguire a good bit of faith.I will glady wait for any evidence of your clames. Simply saying that you have access to old scrolls that no one elce can look at is not evidence. Such clames speak of 'pseudoscience' and thus will make any rational and frankly inteligent person question your clames. As will insults to ones 'enlightenment' and 'wisdom'.
