(Responding about the problem with people living ridiculous amounts of time in the bible)
Come on. If someone wanted to make something up that people are supposed to believe, they wouldn't lie about people living hundreds of years. Something made up also doesn't survive so revered for 1500 years as a part of a book that is COMPLETELY credible.

The bigger the lie, the more likely Nazis are to crop up?
And to think I though MAD Magazine was only 50 years old!
Michael:
That's the average life expectancy, which was so low, because they had a high child mortality. If someone survived to adulthood however, s/he could have very well reach old age.

Then explain, from your perspective, the existence of Buddhism, Hinduism, and the variety of animistic religions that are older than your magical Bibble book.
how many people had bibles in 500ad, how about 1000 or even 1500ad?
This has always bugged me when they use the age agument (especially KJVers) The amount of Bibles around today probably outnumber all Bibles up to 1900ad
You just know they think Christ died and a year later thousands of Christians were walking around with nice machine typed Bibles

So yeh... keep puking that FAIL up, it can't be good for ya. ;)
"...they're making a Chrono Trigger novel?"
It is a fan project that has been in development for years. They are trying to pitch it out to SquareEnix, which I think is dumb given they would never publish any fan material. I am surprised they have not given them a Cease and Desist like they have other fan projects, but I guess they have not because this novel will probably never escape the dedicated CT fan base. I heard it is near finishing and the quality of the demo chapters I have read are not really that bad honestly, but it is just weird the main person behind such a project is a wacked out fundie.
"WTF are fundies doing on a Chrono Trigger website? RPG's are of Satan, right?"
Yeah, I considered that weird myself. I mean, doesn't the guy know that at least the majority of people that worked on that game were probably not Christian, given they have around a 1% Christian base? And even if some of them were, they would probably not be his brand of Christianity.
You know if you convert the years to months, the ages become really old for the time, but not ridiculously old. I believe Noah works out to about 72 years old.
I'm going to vote for a mistranslation somewhere down the line.
Oh, and I think they're attempting to take over every board on the internet. They're in every game, they're in the animal rescue boards, they're in the relationship boards, they're in the gay boards, they're fucking everywhere. Sort of like cockroaches.
Fundies? In MY novelization of the most fucking awesome SNES RPG of all time? (Before you ask, no. I'm not part of the project.)
It's more likely than you think.
Keep the fuck away from Chrono Trigger.
A book that is COMPLETELY credible doesn't contradict itself numerous times.
If the Bible really is the Word of God, wouldn't He make sure that each and every translation ended up basically the same?
"It's extremely unlikely, therefor it must be true."
Fundies, flying in the face of logic ever since logic exists.
Completely credible? This can't be the bible he's talking about, then.
Incredible, certainly. Credible, yeah sure, like I'm the Queen of Romania.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
