The idea that extreme age and/or other preternatural characteristics were literally meant as characteristics of people they thought they were writing about requires no list of references. What Christians today think about the ancient Hebrew texts is a total red herring. The question is, what did the editors of the texts in question think they were writing about, and where did they get those understandings. What many Christians think about Bible texts today is nothing but the ad populum fallacy.
If you want to know what the Hebrews thought about something, just look it up in the Talmud.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
