Very possible. I've often thought that the extreme old age of the early Old Testament figures were probably just a difference in time-measurement between ancient and modern times. By chance, do you have any documentation based on Hebrew translations to support that?

Genesis 5:5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty YEARS; and he died.
The Hebrew word translated "years" is "shaneh," meaning:
1) year
a) as division of time
b) as measure of time
c) as indication of age
d) a lifetime (of years of life)
So I'm not sure why you think this.
Peace and happy holidays!
EDIT: "Jeanmarie," yes, I also have laughed at this huge irony! In fact, I have a quote by Mr. T on my Yahoo 360 page. He has a GREAT Christian witness!

Or maybe Moon years (Lunar years) which are almost just under 900

Suzanne is right with the bible reference. They were in lunar years.

I wonder if as many people played Adam as they've played James Bond.

Did you know that Mr T is a christian?
