Now, as an addition to the last post, I will throw this little bombshell out.
Where in the bible, would such an important devision, as the one between spirit, and flesh be possibly mentioned? If we look just a little further than the flood, we find something that has been a mystery, throughout all history. The lifespans are even more normal here, than Noah's. Are you ready? Better sit down, if you're standing.
(Now I admit I have always taken this verse to mean something to do with continents being devided, or something like that)
"Verses 25-27
And unto Eber were born two sons: The name of the one was Peleg. For in his days was the earth divided. And his brother's name was Joktan. And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
This is one of the very interesting lines in the chapter; and, of course, men are not agreed on what is meant by it. The usual explanation of it is as a reference to the division about to be related in the next chapter, the confusion of tongues. Other interpretations, of which there are many, include:

- a reference to Noah's formally dividing the earth among his sons, an event traditionally assigned to a period more than a hundred years after the flood, and
- a reference to widespread landslips on the surface of the earth that divided and separated the continents. All such speculations are without foundation in proved events. The view that the division of the earth following the confusion of tongues is most likely the true meaning. " http://www.studylight.org/com/bcc/view.cgi?book=ge&chapter=10&verse=25#Ge10_25

Ha ha! There is no objection to the custard canopy idea either, good start! In other words, as long as the bible doesn't say anything on it, you can make up whatever nonsense you like!
