Creation of the World

[Rev. Rye]

Your stupid fucking bible also says that Adam lived for 800 years after "Seth" was born.


So much for that nonsense.

Believe it or not, they actually have an explanation for that as well; apparently the Earth was irradiated after the Flood (by the forces that would apparently cause a flood that raises the sea level by over six miles), and that somehow limited the lifespan of humans to 120 years (except for the other descendants of Noah all the way down to Jacob), and apparently, the air was thinner, which killed off the dinosaurs, because they were too big (presumably all dinosaurs were the size of Apatosaurs.) Yes.

There's also another explanation that's even more idiotic than that one: somewhere in the process of systematizing the text of the Torah, people started to confuse months for years. As you can imagine, it can explain how figures like Mahalalel (Adam's great-grandson), could live for 830 years if it's actually closer to 64 years, but the text also says that his first child was born at the age of 65 (which would, by this standard, be close to his fifth birthday.)

It's really a tossup over which theory is more idiotic than the other.
