Bible Note: Azure Thank you Azure. I perhaps was thinking about the fact that the ages of men went slowly down from around 900, then by the time of the end of Genesis a good bit lower, then we have Moses at 120, then the Psalms speaks of 80 years if by strength. I was merely trying to apply what "might" be possible according to the "record" of scripture to the question at hand by using a little math. I pray I have not offended you by this. Did you see Doc's post? I must say his math was far superior to mine. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |
