here are some of my theries,
1. preflood/tower of babble humans were geneticly superior to humans today: when god created the racial divid it split up the best genes.
2. all humans now are desinded from the hand full of survivors on the ark and we are now suffering "copy of a copy" genetic fading.
3. the earths atmosphere is thinner with less oxygen than it was thousands of years ago. i have heard that high oxygen levels promote healing.
well what do you think?

We don't actually know for sure that people lived for "centuries" as we know them. Civilizations back then may have measured time and space differently. After all, Genesis indicates that God created the world in 7 days; however that is generally now interpreted as thousands of years, not actual 24-hour periods. If people did live longer back then, it's probably because many lethal diseases that we know of today were not in existence during those times.

I think the tales of people living for hundreds of years are myths and fables. I do not believe that Noah actually lived 989 years or however long he was supposed to have lived. I believe age was used by storytellers to imply greatness and wisdom. Therefore, if one was said to be very old, it was intended to imply that they were very wise, not that they actually lived for hundreds of years.
The Bible is not, and was never intended to be, non-fiction.

The bible is a mixture of fact and fiction. People living for centuries is one of the fictional parts.
