The Aging of Man and Woman?

Question

In the Bible it states that people lived for up to 900 years old. My question is if this is true, how did they look, I mean I take it they had wrinkles, how about daily activities like walking, cooking, cleaning etc...

Answer 1

When people lived that long, the earth was protected by a shield that kept UV rays of sunlight from being so powerful. Also, people were vegetarians. They were very healthy, no pollution, etc. They probably looked pretty good!

Answer 2

No, my guess is that even though a 900 year old person today would be a well preserved corpse, people who actually lived to those numbers in those days probably did not "age" as quickly as we do today. Someone who was 400 years old probably looked 40. It's all relative. Sin is the reason why God shortened the life span.

Answer 3

IM guessing the aging prosses both physicaly and mental was much slower. They probly stay in apperance of there 20-40 much longer. When your 500 you look like a 35 year old. when you get to the 800s you look in you 60s and it speeds up till you die

Answer 4

maybe a decade is equivalent of a 100 years. A 400 yr old guy before the flood maybe look like a 40 yr old compared to modern man.

Answer 5

ROFLMAO
you were still a child tell you reached 100
At the age of 8 - 9 hundred you would look like a person of 80-110 today!

Answer 6

if the living duration is longer, aging become slower.
so if we live up to 900 years, and say you are 300 years old, you'll look like 30 years old today (assuming our life time is 90 yrs old nowadays)

Answer 7

Well Moses was strong like when he was in his 20's until the day he died of olddddd age lol

Sarah was sooooo beautiful to look at in her oldddddd age that Amraham had to lie to a king and say she wasn't his wife so they wouldn't try to kill him for her! hehehe

I'm goin for 120! bless me!

Answer 8

Just imagine the clock and calendar running faster.

If old at 900 then still chasing chicks at 500.

Less UV radiation,
Better Food,
LOW LOW stress level,
WORK was exercise!

All kinds of reasons--------------

Answer 9

rubbish~ even talking into consideration the changes in our world today ....this is a pic of the eldest man today 115yrs old http://www.ndtv.com/morenews/showmorestory.asp?slug=World's+oldest+man+turns+115&id=91922 no way he can live another 5 let alone 500!

Answer 10

i think that they did not age as fast then as they do now. back then a man of two hundred might look as old as a twenty year old of nowadays. but we might never know.
