Subject: why did people live long |
Bible Note: Also, remember, God created man to live forever and created Earth so man could. A lot of people believe that Noah's Flood changed the "chemistry" of the Earth - causing man to die earlier. Here's an interesting thing to think of, Lizards (and i think all reptiles) never stop growing. If you cut off a leg, it grows another one. Now, put a lizard back in Adam's day (when they lived 900 years). How big do you think a lizard would get after 500 years? Do you think it would look like a dinasor? |
