There is a theory that the word for 'year' was misinterpreted and it should have been 'month'.
Living 900 months isn't out of the question, and if you lived 900 months (or 75 years) back then, of course people would be amazed, since the normal life span 2000 years ago was approximately 50-55 years.

You discount the idea of naked bribery of the entities controlling your life span. This is the part of the bible that King James suppressed..

Hey, hey, I'm just fuckin' with y'all. It's all horseshit.

Not to mention I would have to drag my balls behind me, and hope nobody stepped on them!!?!

I would have forgotten how silly the Bible is, but the goddamn Bible thumpers keep on bringing it up.

Bible thumpers pass the long lifespan of those times to the slow acting effects of the curse. In other words, people lived a long, long time until man sinned but the effects of that sin slowly crept up on them. This could be why believers think they can get away with anything.

True True…..look at the Noah’s ark nonsense as the biggest example. Does any reasonable person really believe that a 500;foot wooden boat can carry all those thousands of animals, Noah’s ‘family’ and all the food needed?

Not only that, it had no bilge pump, no depth sounder, radar, sonar, not to mention marine putty to stop the water from leaking into the boat, not to mention the 40 days and nights rain that was also claimed.

You would probably need approximately a dozen modern cargo ships to handle all that.

My biggest regret is not having spent more time talking to my Dad. A recovering Catholic, atheist/agnostic; he collected Bibles, trains and old metal toys. He knew I enjoyed science fiction and suggested I read the Bible as it was filled with good stories. I tried it but couldn't get into it, the story line was too weird. Good point about the nose LOL.
