Hello everyone!
Allow me to explain my question... Biologically speaking, there is no real reason for us to age and die the way that we do. Why is it that every human being is aging at about the same rate, and dying naturally in the ballpark of 100-120 years?
Genesis 6:3 has God shortening our lifespans to 120 years... Isn't it interesting that nobody can live much longer than this? I read on Google that a woman supposedly lived for 122 years, but that's still right in the ballpark. Can this be explained without the God of Genesis? I don't mean explaining how it happens, but rather why it happens. Apparently the people who wrote Genesis believed that man's days were only 120 years... With that being said, why is it still this way when we have "evolved" so much in society and medicine? The most healthy man alive can't get past 120 years.
Evidence for Genesis being true? I believe so.
Side question... Why is aging even a thing? Why do cells just start to shut down? If the goal of life according to evolution is to survive the longest, then why can't our cells survive past 120 years? They just give up, but why? Something to think about.
