Was at least the first life form created?
#50
RE: Was at least the first life form created?
Jesus was born between the years 6 - 4 B.C. We know this because he was born during the reign of Herod and he died in 4 B.C.

It is generally accepted that Jesus was 33 when he died which would place it in the year 29 A.D. (assuming he was born in 4 B.C.)

Let's be kind and say that that Mark was 25 when Jesus died so that would place his birth at 4 A.D. We know that the Gospel of Mark was written on or after 70 A.D. so that would mean that he was 66 years old when it was written.

That doesn't sound too bad by our standards as 66 is still quite young, but, in the times of Jesus the average life expectancy was just 49! And don't forget that all the other Gospels were written later and so the other disciples would have been even older.

It's not impossible but the chances of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all surviving into their 60's and 70's at those times would be very unlikely indeed.

By todays standards it would be like 4 friends all surviving into their 100's and 110's and then committing their stories to paper and then expecting those stories to be accurate and we all know how memory behaves as we get older.
