The bible states that they were old and "well stricken in age" so much so that Sarah thought that her having a child was a joke and she laughed.

A middle-aged man is not well-stricken with age. You used yourself as an example making a comparison with Abraham. Do you consider yourself to be well stricken with age?
I should also add that I am not a "fundie". I also do not belong to any organization.
hence "I belive in God, not religion"
I'm curious, religions, though wedged firmly in dogma, are required to update their truths as reality overtakes them.
From what I've read, you're pretty stuck with 90 as a miraculous age for childbearing in a woman.
What are you going to do when reproductive technology and lifespan extension makes that a trivial event?
They're in the mid to upper 60s now.
Will you quietly ignore that number in the story and hope nobody remembers the original?
Will the text be re-interpreted to give a greater age to keep it miraculous?
Will you revert to a vague value like 'no man shall know the hour' to avoid end-of-the-world prediction type failures?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
