My mom dated this ultra conservative religious former cop. A conversation came up where we talked about how parts of Genesis don't make sense, specifically people's ages. IIRC, its something like Noah being 300 when he died. He said "it's because people were healthier back then."
I've hear similar stuff like how before the flood, more water in the atmosphere caused people to live longer. This cuckoo shit is all up in protestant discourse so they can rationalize a literal interpretation.
He said "it's because people were healthier back then."
This is an actual Biblical concept. It's believed that before the deluge the Earth was much different, and that for whatever reasons humans had much longer lifespans, but the deluge reshaped the Earth and now humanity has shorter longevity.
They tend not to teach this shit in normie Christian sects tho.
