The Longevity of the Patriarchs

[billybigrig]

Ever wonder about those biblical life spans? Here is a breakdown of the known information about it.

http://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/longpatr.html

What do I think? I think they, in fact, did live that long, but for other reasons.

[agentmoulder254]

Ah my friend, I think this is one of the simple misinterpretations from a person, to a generation of many. I believe that the civilizations are led by a person, which would be the patriarchs.

[SkepticJo]

Can you imagine living that long? Would you WANT to live that long? I don't know about you but I wouldn't. I wonder if there is any kind of scientific proof that people lived that long back then? The explanation of why people didn't live as long after the flood as before sounds possible for certain but from the 900+ range down to the 200 year range is a big chunk of time for the explanation they gave...

[billybigrig]

It could be that living that long is a byproduct of the habitat they lived in. But if removed from that habitat, they start to age. Reminds me of Noha and the Arce.

[:D Smilee :D]

technichally (spelt wrong), they would never be able to live that long because their body systems would just shut down. That is why we will never make it to age 130. I think that the oldest living person (other then in the bible) was less then 115 years old.

[agentmoulder254]

How long you live determines on your health, they could have had outstanding health, so it is possible to live above 130.

[:D Smilee :D]

No matter how healthy you are, you will start withering away, and your body would slow down until it stops.

Thats generally why a 32 yr old adult would have less energy then 3 yr olds do.

[agentmoulder254]

Nonetheless, your health factor determines when it is you slow down and eventually stop.

I think that depends on where you live................

[agentmoulder254]

There are many factors that determine health, the quality and quantity of what you eat and drink, how much you exercise, the pollution in your area, the genes of your family, etc.

How long do you think you could survive in Eden?

[TheOtaku]

Iunno I want a apple... JK... I think a long long time if we ever found it

[agentmoulder254]

Being that Eden is a myth, I wouldn't say long.

How do you know Edin is a myth? You been talking with Masons?

[agentmoulder254]

My own personal theory, but I'm sure at least one of the other 13 years olds I talk to secretly belongs to an underground race of mole people who try to hide their exsistance.

[David87]

The oldest person ever outside of what is recorded in the Bible was 119 if I remember correctly.

The idea of the cleaner, life extending environment that once existed upon the Earth does make sense, but even then, the numbers seem a little big. There could have been a miscalculation, but it is reasonable to say that there were some people who lived during the Genesis times that lived longer lives than most today.

The Garden of Eden? That used to be on Mars, another planet far, far away, or a hidden existance upon the Earth that's possibly entered through an underwater cave or something. Eve was the genetically altered clone of Adam because no one of his race of human existed at the time. God sent them to normal Earth when he cast them out, and in order to find Eden, you would probably need super science. I'm not joking either, those are my beliefs right now.

I guess, ya just never know.................

[:D Smilee :D]

moulder!!! that was supposed to be a secret!! *realising I said it was true instead of a myth and also gave away secret* - - - dammit!!! :-P :O

[agentmoulder254]

Wow David, you have a great point, I never saw it that way.

[David87]

Thanks. As soon as I get the chance, I'm writing a book with all my ideas about the history of the universe.

[William One Sac]

Moulder, why do you say "mole people?"



Fascinating...

[agentmoulder254]

Did you ever see the Simpsons? One of the episodes was that Homer made a website, and started to post some things that turned out true, so basically everything that he said was believed after most turned out, so he started to make something up, one of them was that there was a race of mole people living 6 inches under Denver, and he was right, so he was taken to a secret government island.

[William One Sac]

WOW! Thats right! I remember that episode! Thats a really strange coincidence!! Also, there is supposedly something underneath the airport at Denver, but I dont know too much about it. Except that alot of the painted murals in the airport have double meanings...

[William One Sac]

Here, check this out. There is ALOT of strange stuff at that airport!! :o

[David87]

No, the story was that flu shots contained mind control was the true one. The mole people under Denver were all named Steve or something crazy like that. Look up Mr X, it's a real website created by the Simpsons people.
I'll look at that link in a little bit.

If you read some of the translations of the Sumerian text from which the old testament was derived you will find that the patriarchs were the descendants of the so called Gods of Nibiru to whom one year of their time was 3600 years of our time.
Enki fathered both Adam and Eve from two female primitive workers thus beginning the line of civilized man and the line of long lived patriarchs.
Adam was 35 years old in Nibiru time when he died, but that's 126000 years old in Earth time when he died.

[agentmoulder254]

First off, the Niburu text is but a myth. Next, you should never take a mythical gospel text as well, gospel.(excuse the pun)

[David87]

HEY! I have firm belief in the Bible. I've read myths also and believe many of them to be true or based on truth.
However, the Bible is my foremost guide on the matters at hand, and it's kind of like I said. The other dimensional being known as God, Jehovah, Yaweh and many other names, created Adam from the dirt of the Earth, or in other words created him from the elements, and then breathed life into him, giving him an essence. There weren't any other people of Adam's race around at the time so God took one of Adam's ribs <--(not neccessarily neccessary for human survival and full of good genetic material) and made an altered clone of him that was Eve.
Moulder? Why does your avatar look like one of those dudes of that old video game with the boy in the space suit?

[agentmoulder254]

...what i was saying has nothing to do with your belief, what I was saying is that adam and eve are as fictional a character as the prodigal child or any other character from a parable, it was a metaphor for creation, not an account of creation

[David87]

Thanks for your clarification, but I also believe in the reality of Adam and Eve or at least want to believe. It's hard to tell if they were a metaphor for humanity in creation or not, since they are described as having a certain number of children and all. Only God knows.
Now you still haven't answereed about that whole grape head thing. Is it off that video game or am I confused?

[agentmoulder254]

i came up with the name because this kid's head reminded me of a grape, hence the term grapehead, than i began saying godamn grapeheads, now he does the same thing to me, only he says godamn brilloheads
i stole the picture online though...apparently some candy stole my idea

[Jewboy-Soapurb]

Why is it people seem to beleive in miraculas conception, the garden of eden, and 900 year long life spans?

I'd just as sooner beleive in Father Christmas or the Tooth Fairy than that crap.

It's bullshit stories like "The great flood" which speak of God wiping out all the humans he considered inferior which inspired evil people like Adolf Hitler.

I hope all you christians are happy about living in a castle of evil protected by a wall of lies.

I prefer to live in a world where my lies don't get thousands of people killed everyday, thanks.

[David87]

I was right! Jewboy is the Antichrist.

God got rid of the people that were evil, not the people that were inferior according to the story. Also, almost every ancient culture has a flood story, so if it really did happen, Noah's family weren't the only survivors. If they were then they would have to have had a lot of incest really fast and there would be no explaining the different breeds of humans in the world. I think the flood really did happen, but it happened in different levels of severity in different parts of the world and there were survivors all over.
As for evil that is done based on Biblical ideas. The same can be said for every religion and even anti-religion and science. Nazis and Communists and other "bad guys" have used the ideas of Darwin and other scientists and sociologists to support the idea that some people are superior to others, etc. Anti-religions and Athiest have banned religion and killed people for practicing it such as what is done in Communist nations. Religion and Christianity specifically are not evil, but the ways of man are and any belief system can be twisted to support some form of evil.

[agentmoulder254]

I'd have to agree with Davy here when he says all forms of society have their own faults, but if you were to listen to me, you'd notice that I am the centrist. I do believe in a flood story, but I tend to be skeptical about most else. David, what I am trying to say is, don't hold everything as complete truth, believe what you will, but don't necessarily act upon it. And J/S don't be so quick to throw away everything that some may believe, although I do aplaud your skeptical mind.
