I guess 90 is young back then, or maybe don't use life expectancy back then as an excuse to make it ok to impregnate 12 year olds. I get that you have to have faith in the book and your religion. But don't try to side step and sweep under the mat the frowned upon issues. Admit when it's just wrong.
We have no record of Joseph's age, and considering the life expectancy back then and the fact that he walked 100 miles to a different city makes me highly doubt he was 90 lol.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
