I have a Question about hundreds of years ago

How did people get too live soo old as about 900 years old, hundreds of years ago?

Answer #1

They did have different measurement of time then we did. But also yes they did live a lot longer then we do today. Part of the reason was to populate the earth, like a jump start. Adam and Eve had over 100 kids.

Answer #2

tseirpeht hundreds of years ago people did not live longer than we do today (if we use the reference to time). And their could not have been a reason for their lifespan ,as you say to populate the earth, and if anything childbirth could reduce a persons lifespan.

Answer #3

As far as I know the ages related in the bible are relative and not really a full year.

What is interesting though…go look at the age that scientist claim that was the average for people of that time (I am not sure…but I do believe it is somewhere around 30 years??) and then take the ages in the bible and divide them by 12 (as in take it as they see one year as a month…and you should get the average age more or less)

Answer #4

Some people (generally not christians) believe that the ages stated in the bible were not relative to the same period of a year that we know now.

IE. Maybe 10 Bible years = 1 modern year.
