Noe lived according to Genesis for 950 years. Somebody asked this question here recently, but unfortunately I can´t find the thread anymore
I wanted to hear some ideas and comments why and how was this possible. I believe it was possible, because the scientists who are trying to "read" the DNA code found one marker gene which causes the decay of human body and we die. They hope that changing of this gene would enable people to live for a long time. And they say that this gene hasn´t been a part of the DNA code from the beginning but seems to have been added later (and God limited human age to 120 years in Genesis).
Second explanation of the long life that I have read was that because space is expanding time is "slowing down" - so our year could be longer than "year" in the time of Genesis.
I know it sounds crazy, but I am honestly trying to find the truth and if I should believe something, I can´t have doubts. This wouldn´t be true faith, would be ? And my time for finding the truth is maybe running out now
