That must be why people's life expectancy is so much lower now than it was then. And I guess the infant mortality rate must have been lower back then as well!
I do apologize.
I should not have said that in those times people didn't have so many diseases.
I should instead said that in those times people did not have so many diseases caused by meat eating.
In those times a lot of people die for other reasons like a lack of food, and infections due to poor sanitation so i do agree with you that life expectancy was lower.
However it could have been even lower if they were able to eat meat regularly like rich people.

Many theists here have admitted that god cannot be detected by any means that are external to us. They only ever verify god by internal means. Which is why gods often reflect the individual's culture and beliefs and why there are so many different interpretations of what god is and who god is and what he wants from any of us. Since god only exists within, people can and do shape and re-shape him all the time.
Can you please elaborate?
I don't understand.
Here you are talking about what theist think while i was asking you about atheists.
Don't you remember my post ......... One thing that an atheist will never understand is that God is within and not external so the evidence can only come from within........and you answer?......On the contrary, most atheists understand this point very clearly.
So the question is......what atheists understand very clearly?
Quote:Remember, you're not only explaining the existence and qualities of god with people who do not believe that he exists. You are also doing so with people who believe he exists in vastly different forms from what you have experienced, and who claim to have received the same internal verification that you claim. But from a different god, or from the same god yet differently. When dozens of theists come here and present to us dozens of versions of god (with each version being the only possible version), what do you think we're going to conclude?
I only believe those who are able to reduce the distance that separate the microcosm (humans) from the macrocosm (God) which can be done in different way.
All the rest are theories that lead to nowhere.
