Bible Question: I know that people lived longer in OT times, but did people really live hundreds of years? |
Bible Answer: The progressive decline of longevity is a direct result of sin entering the world. There is a book by a Christian geneticist, Dr John Sanford, called "Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome" which scientifically explains the phenomenon. Yes, they lived longer lives the further you go back, especially before the great flood. |
