Re: Did Men live 900 years?
Most of the people whould have lived long lives, so the rate of departure from this life (which is part of the reason why people long to leave). Futher, the aging rate would have been much slower. Probably puberty would still have occured in the first 20 years of life, but the stages of life would have been much different, with young adulthood lasting until nearly 300 years old.
Probably marriages (Adam and Eve, and Enoch being exceptions) did not occur until after a person was into the triple digits. Children could also be spaced further apart (one every 15-20 years).
I know that I am engaging in supposition, but I do believe that some of these can be infered. Further we know that there was a moral collapse during the period preceding Noah.
