Biblical people living to be over 175 years old
August 16, 2014 at 11:40 am
First let me say that I am no expert in human biology or evolution but I came across this website that tries to explain why people were living to be 900 years old in the bible and now we struggle to reach 100

They weren't. Genesis is nonsense.

Indeed. But we can look down our noses at our Christer brethren and wonder why their faith is so defective that they themselves don't enjoy Methuselahn longevity.

Any time an article is from AIG you can safely deposit it in the nearest toilet.

We have eternal life. How much of that eternity we spend in our present mortal bodies isn't important.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

How quickly you dismiss something the bible claims to be true when it is demonstrably wrong.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

You said that as though it was true.
Unfortunately I have some bad news for you.
This is all there is there aint no more, so enjoy the NOW.

If you believe this you had better pray - I mean hope that you are right.

Starting with the premise that your claim is absolutely and completely correct, then crafting evidence to support that claim while dismissing all else---this cannot be considered a scientific or even remotely reliable as a source.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Also there seems to be a threat here "believe or the bogie man will get you" how childish is that!
