1 | Why is life expectancy for Americans low | Gen 6:3 | Hank | 133419 | ||
You ask why is the life expectancy of Americans low. Compared to what? The mortality tables list 77.2 years as the average life expectancy for persons living in the United States. By comparison, it is 37.8 in Zimbabwe. There are no mortality tables as such in the Bible, although life spans tended to be remarkably long (by present-day standards) in Old Testament times, especially from creation to Noah's flood. The Bible does not guarantee a given number of years for a person's life on earth. It does, however, promise eternal life to those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. See John 3:16. --Hank | ||||||

Americans have unhealthy diets and pollution is another cause for short lives too... After the Flood, God introduced meat into man's diet. Before the Flood, humans only ate grains, berries, nuts, etc. Meat cuts our life short and the reason that God did this is because we would live less-sinful lives... |
