[How did these Bible people live so long?]
Everyone lived a long life, because the Lord was supporting them. And the air was much more purer, and when Noah was on the Ark the water would of pushed up the air into space, and there would of been less air, etc.

"and when Noah was on the Ark the water would of pushed up the air into space, and there would of been less air, etc."
Air pressure, even in the absurd conditions of the flood, is relative to sea level. So, Noah would be breathing pretty much the same pressure and composition of air as a typical boat-using person.
Also, less air makes it hard to breathe and shortens your lifespan...
Magic air sustains life, and disappears into space after being pushed away by magic water teleporting from nowhere in order to create a flood (and, in some bizarre way, the flood waters are actually still able to recede...). How do you not see how ridiculous all of these explanations are?
Purer air? I thought all the environmental issues that people talk about are all lies? Our air should be just as pure now as it was then, according to you.
Less air is not good. Pushing the air up into space would make it thinner. Why do you think mountains climbers have problems when they climb places like Everest?
You're an idiot.
Here's my theory: The rapture actually happened to Noah and his gang. It was a big optical illusion of water that they floated on, but was actually air. They weren't rained on per se, but accumulated the dew from the clouds they floated through. They all eventually dissolved and evaporated, which is why the ark can't be found.
Meanwhile, life went on as normal, under the imaginary ocean that the ark floated on.
Or maybe it's just that the word for "moons" was mistranslated as "years".
Nah, couldn't be, God dropped the KJV into the gay king's lap.
Hows about you go put your head in a bucket of water, see if you spontaneously grow some gills, and get back to us on that, ok?
Actually, we live far, far, far longer lives than back then. 50 years old would have been like being 70-80 years old today. And most people died by the time they were 40-50, and it was considered dieing of old age.
Nobody could have ever dreamed of liveing till one hundred, or even 8o back then.
so im guessing this is complete hype on the bibles part.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
