Affirmative ... and two posters made me feel better about changing my mind.
Believe me, this one is sole lid goad.Well, you shouldn't feel better. This one's not even original. Not exactly a glorious comeback.
Why would it be tuff to envision a world where people live longer than we do on average? They live that long because their bodies ability to repair itself last longer than ours does. But lets not fool around, you are changing the laws of physics in an attempt to justify the Bibles exaggerated claims. For effect stories tended to get spun a little bit when retold.If you believe that the universe has always been running under the same set of laws, I challenge you to describe to me a hypothetical planet in existence today where people routinely live to be 600-900 years old, and tell me how they live that long under current conditions.

If it is indeed hypothetical then the Solarians Solaria - Wikipedia should fit the bill.If you believe that the universe has always been running under the same set of laws, I challenge you to describe to me a hypothetical planet in existence today where people routinely live to be 600-900 years old, and tell me how they live that long under current conditions.
Okay.If it is indeed hypothetical then the Solarians Solaria - Wikipedia should fit the bill.
The used a lot of genetic engineering to increase the ability of their bodies to not wear out as quick.Okay.
First part of challenge met.
Now tell me how they can live that long under current conditions?
Interesting.The used a lot of genetic engineering to increase the ability of their bodies to not wear out as quick.
Interesting.
Genetic engineering to effect longevity.
Sounds like a final solution to this challenge, doesn't it?
Could we leave the Bible out of this please?Nah... a final solution would be the exclusion, expulsion, and eventual extermination of those who didn't measure up.... genetically speaking. That idea has Biblical precedence, but it's not what's being referred to here.
Except the female virgin children, Moses said solders could keep them for themselves.Nah... a final solution would be the exclusion, expulsion, and eventual extermination of those who didn't measure up.... genetically speaking.

The claims of the Bible are the basis for this entire discussion.Could we leave the Bible out of this please?

right, just as the rest of history would have to be disposed of.I agree with you, crossnote; but for the purpose of this thread, I'd like to leave the Bible out of it and call some bluffs.
For the purposes of this thread:
And I submit that, under those conditions, it can't even be hypothetically demonstrated ... let alone tested.
- uniformitarianism rules
- nature did everything
- no miracles, no magic
- just plain science and nature
No argument there!right, just as the rest of history would have to be disposed of.

I do mind.(and perhaps even beyond, if you don't mind jellyfish-men)
