I really want to read your books at some point in the near future, Hugh Ross. I pray this ministry becomes more popular. Have a nice day/night. God bless!

[@constantdoodle32]

The hidden treasures one is pretty good so far. I've got 3 other books of his I'm about to start reading. They are pretty interesting

[@lementer123]

Yeah! I got 5 of his books, I cant read the because of ADHD unless I have medication but they are AMAZING... I highly recommend. I also notice this was posted 3 years ago, did you get any books?

[@JeremyWS]

@@lementer123 :: Yes, I got one. I got a copy of Navigating Genesis. It was a good book, I liked it.

@@JeremyWS Oh nice! I was gonna get that one yesterday but decided to get a different apologetic book. (Unearthing the Bible By Titus M) The books I have by Hugh Ross is: Why The Universe Is The Way It is Improbable Planet Creator and The Cosmos Lights In The Sky and Little Green Men

If people really lived that long and the Bible says they had kids after 100 years old, why did Abraham think it was impossible for him to have kids when he was only 75 years old?

[@KentPetersonmoney]

my guess he probably looked a lot older at 100 compared to Shem at 100. I kind of think after the flood not only did lifespan decrease but people aged faster. Bible never said it but that is my thought

I wonder how many young earth creationists are surprised when they see his videos like this where he's using science to defend literal interpretation of Scripture. Does it cause them to want to take his views about Job and the other Creation texts in relationship to Genesis more seriously, seeing that he has such a high view of Scripture? Or do they keep calling him a compromiser??

[@davidlarson7384]

Every YEC I've met hold their view because of dogma, not because of the evidence. So, no, it won't change their mind. Nothing will. Not even the Bible.

[@dixondjallen6620]

I just can't wrap my head around living for 900 years. I am a Christian and I have to do some more research to try and sort this out to make it plausible...to me. Ill be reading Genesis 13 later tonight...and anything else I can find proving or disproving this...

[@danielcrowe9324]

His explanation of Earth being bombarded by cosmic rays due to a supernova is very plausible.

[@davemarshall315]

I'm a Christian and I believe that Adam and Eve were created perfect and so wouldn't of died if they hadn't sinned. When they did their genes were corrupted as the centuries passed their dna was less and less perfect so by the time of Abraham men were living less than 200 years. Its pretty simple really. I absolutely believe the ages in the bible were written down to show us what a perfect life could of been endless youth and energy. But old age and death is the result of this sin.

[@jangounchained5279]

Yoda can live for 900 years soooo why shouldn't we ? 🤔😉

[@sm12hus]

It sounds truly terrible to live that long when sun was sin was increasing and the toil was so hard

[@KentPetersonmoney]

Would be weird talking to someone born in the year 1100. Someone born in that year would have seen a lot change

[@rep3e4]

thank you, very interesting

[@olivermakower2479]

Or maybe it is related to ages of a similar text from the same period, like the ages of the king's on the Sumerian king's list.

[@usray3219]

Having children at 5 or 6 isn’t biologically possible .... but living 900+ years was ?

[@constantdoodle32]

I mean if you really think about it. Everything is basically trying to kill us off. And there are a lot of defects and mutations in human beings now so It could be plausible

[@danielcrowe9324]

Remember what Dr. Ross said; that it was possible under the right conditions. The Earth was quite different in those days.

[@grandefrppc]

it's actually really simple, climate change, u know before the flood the earth is covered by this humid or to say it in the simplest form, the perfect atmosphere! and after the flood and climate change and all, humans become more exposed to the harmful UV rays and etc. of the sun!

[@Saffron-sugar]

I really appreciate the efforts to simplify this for consumption by more people. However, I believe that the study of telomeres in eukaryotic species is a bit high brow for many people questioning life span and the Bible. So, the audience stays small. If you look at what attracts attention on the internet, you'll see it's pretty dumbed down

[@davidclark6694]

The ages in genesis are not equating to lifespans.

THANK YOU. I NEED TO QUESTION WHY THE EARLY HUMANS HAD CHILDREN WHEN IN AN ADVANCED AGE LIKE ADAM HAVING SETH @ AGE 130 ETC?

[@vesuvandoppelganger]

Did man live to 900? No. The aging process is controlled and determined by DNA. That's why people only live to around 120 years of age maximum. Something written down a long time ago doesn't change that fact.

[@TheGianluman]

Sure. Unless you manipulate DNA in order to reach that age.

[@vshah1010]

If people can live that long, why haven't medical scientists found that limiting factor? Then, life expectancy would jump to over 800 years.

[@markjones5580]

If you trust the bible then the answer to your question is yes. Read Genesis 5. And in genesis 6 we read the reason why life spans fell proportionately. The sons of God "saw" and "took" from the daughters of men. "The Lord God said, " My spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years. Genesis 6:3( fallen creatures being sinful the descendants of Adam and Eve, kicked out of Eden and therefore now under the law of death). Apparently, this inter breeding was not to the creators liking. The progeny resulting from this led to the statement of Genesis 6:5 "The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. You are correct that DNA is determining our life span now as the strands have grown shorter to the point of 120 years being the divine ( DNA) set limit. The Bible is divine truth, God's revelation to man. He has written what he has written. He is who He is and will be who He will be. He is the great I AM. Let God be true though every one were a liar. Romans 3:4 b&c

[@vesuvandoppelganger]

Someone wrote that down therefore it must be true. No one ever writes things down that aren't true.

[@andersonjeremiah6]

Or maybe they calculated aging differently. Why would only a handful of people ever live that long. Then no one else and for no reason other than being record as having lived that long. Pointless

[@Nobodyokbro]

They were killed maybe?

[@garvi01]

O the fact that they told time the same way many people do they the see day or night

[@Archangel657]

I wonder if any of these people will ever realise the fact that the reason the ppl in the Bible has such long life spans is not bc they actually lived to be that age, but rather, in the culture of that era, it was common practice for people at the time to give important figures really long life spans just so they would remember them.

This is absolute insanity.

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

No it really isn't. Earth used to have around 50% more oxygen content and higher atmospheric pressure allowing oxygen to diffuse into tissue easily. Beyond the lack of harmful cosmic rays Hugh brought up there was also a reduction in UV from our sun too. Also lets not forget a very simple gene mutation we may find out could have flipped a gene causing the reduction in longevity. We know humans potentially could be able to make our own vitamin C, the gene is just turned off.
