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.
The long lived men were not Hebrews, that didn't come about until... well... I guess we could start at Abraham as a Hebrew though he wasn't actually. Issac would be my starting point.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
