People didn't have clocks and stuff like that back then. Did people seem to accomplish more in a day (i.e. working on the farm or what have you). Or do we do more now with our time?

In biblical times the day actually started when the sun went down. In genesis the bible tells us that he mad the Night and the Day and Call it the first day. and so one and so forth until the sabath came around which is the seventh day. Man has changed things to make the day start at 12:01 am. Bbelieve it or not the bible tells us thatt this month is really the the 5th month. Find out for yourself. Don't take my word for it.

the clarification human beings do no longer stay AS long: Then the LORD stated, "My Spirit won't post with people for one in each and every of those long term, for they are in basic terms mortal flesh. interior the destiny, they'll stay no greater beneficial than a hundred and twenty years." (Genesis 6:3). there have been drugs lower back then, they used roots and vegetation that are nevertheless around for medicinal purposes right this moment (aloe is one). the clarification that human beings lived plenty longer then replaced into there have been no longer any pollutions, no enormous factories pumping out pollutants and and smoke, food did no longer incorporate chemicals, farmers did no longer use pesticides or strengthen hormones that slowly reason cancers interior the those that consume the food. Animals weren't given drugs or hormones to cause them to bigger or produce greater for some examples. human beings did no longer use tobacco that's tanted with rat poison and different risky pollutants or misuse the earth as we do right this moment. yet, God stated via rampant wickedness interior the international that He might injury it and initiate over with human beings He seen righteous; Noah and his kin. it rather is too undesirable that now the international is much greater evil and depraved and have not got the skill to proceed to exist God's next punishment. "Then I observed a clean heaven and a clean earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea replaced into additionally long gone" (Revelation 21:a million). we can't even keep in mind the old earth and all her horrors. God Bless

In the Christo-Juadaic bible...Genesis chapters, in the first day God created light, 2nd day created somethig else, and 3,4,5,and humans by way of adam or eve on the sixth day...and on the 7th day God made it a rest day or something lazze-fair like that.
The big bang happened 14 billion years ago (maybee) and homo sapiens sapiens, (us modern humans) have been around for 250 000 years...
so yeah, By my estimates a "day" in biblical times seems to be alot longer than our modern 24 hr time.

Well, they didn't have video games or computers back then... or yahoo, so I assume they accomplished a lot more without such useless distractions.

without such diversions as tv and endless wars, disease, environmental disasters, and general human ridiculousness to think about the days must have seemed endless, eh?:-)
