Did animals live longer than now before the flood?

[Jesus_is_Saint]

If Adam had a dog or cat at home, how long did they live? Probably a couple of hundreds years?

More like a couple of hundred dogs and cats lol

 

[Jesus_is_Saint]

maybe a dog in Adam's time will live for 100~200 years.

And you base this on what, exactly?

Pet insurance would have been a good business to get into back then.

The dog in Adam's house, did it live until 200 years old?
Adam was 900+ old.

Since there was no Global Flood the question is meaningless. There is no reason to believe that animal longevity before and after the local flood that gave rise to the Flood myth(s) was different in any way.

What local flood?

 

[Ophiolite]

What local flood?

Pick one. They are not uncommon in river valleys. (While in post-glacial sea level rises they are ubiquitous.)

What flood?

 

[DogmaHunter]

There was a flood, it just didn't submerge the entire planet.

Everyday day, multiple times a day, there is a flood somewhere on the planet that doesn't submerge the planet.

I wonder why?

Genesis 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

 

[DogmaHunter]

You remain wrong. It's written in black and white plus even Eve was made in the garden.

What a hilarious back and forward you're having with juve.
It's like watching kids fighting a war with action figures.

 

[DogmaHunter]

I wonder why?

Because nature.

Genesis 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

Ancient myths nothwithstanding.

Thanks Dad.

 

[AV1611VET]

Because nature.

Yes.

God overrode nature to orchestrate one of His projects on the earth: the Flood.

Psalm 83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

He then returned nature back to its natural state.

Ancient myths nothwithstanding.

Don't myth the point, or you won't understand it.

 

[DogmaHunter]

Yes.

God overrode nature

Appeals to magic.

 

[AV1611VET]

Appeals to magic.

Thanks for the QED.

 

[DogmaHunter]

Thanks for the QED.

That only shows that you know yourself that you are appealing to magic. Hence the rather juvenile "pre-emptive strike".

Fact remains that "overriding nature", is literally an appeal to magic.

Either that, or the Flood was a miracle.
