It's such a ridiculous notion that it doesn't even justify refuting.
Sure it does. And it's simple. We have two competing ideas:
1) Everything we know about genetics is wrong, and humans once had incredibly long lifespans that worked in some way despite everything we know about cellular aging through copying errors during mitosis, or
2) The Patriarchs' 900+ year lifespans are taken from the Sumerian mythologies in the land of Ur, from whence the family of Abraham originated, and they changed the legends from Sumerian God-Kings who lived 900 years to Hebrew Patriarchs who lived 900 years.
Compare and contrast.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
