1 | How long were years of Noah's life? | OT general | kalos | 10025 | ||
A year has never been anything but "the period of time...in which the earth completes a single revolution around the sun, consisting of 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds of mean solar time divided into 12 months, 52 weeks, and 365 or 366 days" (American Heritage Dictionary, 2nd College Edition, 1982, 1985, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston). | ||||||

I really wanted to answer "Just because." But I'm laconically lacking! :-) Besides, this is also a topic that I can speak about with a bit of educational experience and authority. So how could I resist? There is no extra-Biblical evidence to suggest that the solar year has detectably changed in the last 50 million years (if you are an old earther) or in the last 10 thousand plus years (if you are a young earther). This is not true of the length of the day (diurnal period). However, the diurnal period has changed by so small an amount -- since the time of Noah -- as to be imperceptible to humans. In fact, this change would be unmeasurable without sophisticated laser ranging techniques. I am not aware of any scriptural evidence for a change in either the length of day or length of year. |
