I also thought it was impossible, untill I studied the creation epoch.
I will lateron create a thread on that topic, but let me give you some food for thought.
According to the Bible, there was 2 eons on the composition of the Earth.
1. the first was when the Earth formed as a watery collection of solids, liquid and gasses.
during this time the Bible states something I at first found curious. It did not rain upon the Earth and a mist covered the Earth.
2. the second eon was after a great flood covered the Earth. it says all the fountains of the deep and the rain in the heavens covered the surface of everything. This was the first time it rained.
now, this was what trigered my thinking. If there was no rainbows in the atmosphere before the flood, the atmosphere was a totally diferent composition than what we have today.
I kept in mind that the Atmosphere was very moist before the flood, and looked at what science says about ageing and the atmosphere and found the following facts.
1. The Human (animal) body ages because of radiation.
- if it was not for our atmosphere, cosmic radiation will have us age at least 7 times faster than the current environment has an effect on us.
- if our atmosphere was a wet and foggy environment, radiation will be much less, and we will be much healthier.
- if we were to live on mars, radiation will kill us off due to old age in less than 10 years.
2. The Atmosphere contains C14 and this is what makes us age.
- Due to N14 being hit by cosmic radiation at the outter reaches of the atmosphere, Carbon 14 is created.
- C14 is taken up by plants, and gets distributed into human, and animal bodies as we eat plants and animals.
- C14 damages millions of cells every minute in our bodies, and this is the reason for ageing.
- our cells can only replicate so much, due to telemeres shortening, and eventually we dont have any functioning organs left, and we die.
3. Now guess what I learned about the 2 points I made?
if the atmosphere was a moist environment before the flood, and changed 4600 years ago, there was virtually no C14 in the atmosphere for 1500 years untill Noah, and people would have remained healthy and strong and more youthfull than their descendends after the atmosphere cleared out to allow rainbows to appeared.
after the atmosphere cleared, C14 would be produced and will only about 500 years later reach the "Equlibrium" science measures today. It simply means there was a gradual buildup of C14 over time, and for say 200 years of this 500 years, the atmosphere was still healthy.
if one take the ages of the Biblical people from Adam to Abraham, it forms a graph which shows a deteriation of ages as time progresses. The worst effect is after the flood as expected.
Now, guess what I also learned.
There are companies that grows C14 free food in tunnels for the ultra rich, to prevent them from absorbing C14.
well, who is the most intelligent people now?
Those that know why we age, or those who make a mockery of the Bible without knowing the truth.
I simply love the Bible and what it knows!
