Proverbs Chapter 6

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: Yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. 

18 A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

In your response to Ying and Yang above, you say, "I just wanted your guys' opinions on this."

So let me respond---there is no proof that the premise assumed in your "if-then" question is true.  Thus, the conclusion reached does not follow automatically.

So what is the point of manufacturing explanations for a situation that most likely … Read more

I don't agree with the premise that "God hates homosexuals"; that's something anti-gay activists love to yell, but it's not supported by any holy texts I know that claim to speak for God.

Why does God let children starve to death?
Why are some born with malformations or disease?
Why does God allow racism?
Why disasters?
Why war?
Why murder?

The list goes on and on with one thing in common....all caused by humans. Man spews hatred at anything he doesn't agree with OR is against his religious beliefs.

The Bible record reveals that humans were made to live much longer than animals. The early offspring of Adam, being near to perfection, lived as long as 969 years. This illustrates the fact that cell-replacement continued for all those years, and the cells of the central nervous system (which scientists say can be repaired but … Read more

Probably because they were careful with how frequently they ordered Fast Food, tried not to get hooked onto Iced Tea, did not eat tons of Tilefish, did not fall for the convenience of Microwave Popcorn, resisted the temptation to have Chicken Nuggets, kept a count on their spoons of White Sugar and cut down on … Read more

Adam and others lived for so long  because they are closer to  perfection than we are today. It was God's original purpose that all humans would live forever in peaceful conditions in paradise on earth. When Adam and Eve decided that they no longer wanted to follow  God's right to rule and became disobedient, in … Read more

I absolutely do not give any credibility whatsoever to the tales of Adam, or any other biblical characters, living for multiple centuries. 

They are myths (see Tom's answer). 

Adam, Noah, Enoch, Methuselah and all of those other OT uber-centenarians more than likely never existed at all.
