cause back then, there was more oxegen in the air, the soil was not depleated of all the minerals, there wasnt any polution in the air, there was not preservetives in everything they ate. ect ect.. All this stuff gives us cancer and tumors and such and that is why we cant live very long. If you check into some parts of the world, you will see that some chinese colonys drink massive amounts of green tea which is high in polyfenalls and they live to be 110 115 and even older. So, I hope that answers it for you.

There's a lot of argument over all these long ages in the Bible (Methuselah is the most famous example). Get a copy of Genesis and look at those age-entries. Some scholars think it is a change in translation, and the meaning of "year" might be more fuzzy.....some people think it symbolizes (since the Bible elders had shorter and shorter lifespans as time went on) that people got more and more corrupt, and therefore weren't rewarded with a long, full life. But, there is a limit to how literally you should take the Bible before you lose your mind....!

At that time, there were fewer people on the Earth, which means it weighed less than it does now. Because of its lighter weight, it was able to orbit the sun in about as much time as what is now a month.
So, essentialy, Noah lived for about 75 years (900/12=75).

Apparently, back in the times of the old testament, people just lived longer. Why? Nobody knows.
There are, however, lots of theories like:
We are further from God than we once were.
God screwed up.
God hates us.
Something to do with the original sin. Not that this makes any sense since well, Jesus.
The most likely answer? Whoever the joe was who wrote the corresponding parts of the Old Testament wanted their stories to sound cooler than it did, so he made it up.

No, supposedly, things used to be much different than they are now and people used to live to be much much older. Maybe we die sooner to save space or something. Who knows. All of the early humans in the bible lived to be hundreds of years old.
Jesus would have been as old as he had been at the time he died. It wouldn't be multiplied. If you believe in the bible, you just have to believe that Noah lived to be 900 years old.

Because he obeyed gods command. But if you want to think likea scientist it's because he ate properly (they didn't have the foods we have now back then) and that it was almost normal for someone to have an unuassly long life span.
And the answer to your question. 30 multiplied by 10 = 300.
33 multiplied by 10 = 330.
Both are probable dates of his Crusifixion.

He only felt like he was 900 years because he had to spend 40 days and nights on that stupid ark

Don't forget that disease and environmental contamination has not yet occurred.
As for Jesus he has always lived and can only be credited with three days of death.

Yes he lived 900 years, almost a thousand years, back then that was considered normal. God shortened our life time. Now he said a human will not live more then 120 years guaranteed. (If im remember correctly it was no more then 120 years currently)
