Did Men live 900 years?

If a person were to live 900 years, I see a series of problems that people don’t consider;

1. How long is adolescence? 18 years? 180 years? This means children go through, say puberty, for 50 years?

2. How long does a woman bear children? 400 years? Could her body stand this stress, and, how many children would be in one family?

3. How large would the 500 year Family Reunion be?

4. Under current statistics, Divorce is higher today because people live longer. Imagine trying to be married to one person for Centuries, not Decades.

5. If maturity were the same as today, and living an extra 800 years followed, would a man or woman find life a complete bore?

6. Imagine the Biography of a 900 year old man. Is there a book or record available that contains the experiences of such a person?

7. How long would a person remain, “Elderly”? Today, the extreme pain and sickness of those who are old would be extended into a Century or longer.

8. Why doesn’t the Bible validate these extended lives with historical evidence that they lived this long (family tree, experiences, years of events, calendars that support long life).

9. Does the human emotional and physical makeup allow for 800 extra years of being alive? As most of us will admit, after the struggles of living 50-100 years, we’re ready to move on from this life.

10. Imagine accidents and injury; many of us enter the final stage of life very sore and handicapped from working, or being involved in such things as car accidents, falling, or injuries from employment. This includes working and driving in the safe environments of modern society.

Did people really live 900 years?
