And why can't people live now so long?

I know some people who live in a similar way nowadays. No pollution, no radiation, even no electricity. Very close to nature. Not much sin either. They can rarely live for over 90 years.

People could live much longer during the 20th century compared to the previous centuries. Less sin compared to middle age? Less war? (Probably not, because of world war I and II) Less pollution? (No way) Less radiation? (No way) I would say advances of medical science and industry.

They where closer to perfection ( Adam and eve where perfect until thrown out of Eden).Each generation gets farther away from perfection plus all the environmental problems caused my man compound the problems we have with health.

When God created Adam and Eve they were genetically perfect. If they had not sinned they would have lived forever. However, once they sinned death and decay began. Every generation accumulates more genetic mutations which leads to a shorter life span than was once the case. Of course, in the present age, advances in medicine and better nutrition for many (though not all) have contributed to greater life spans than would otherwise be the case. But this just delays the consequences of the increase in genetic mutations that accumulate each generation.

If you get a timeline geneology and ages you will see how it slowly tappered and it got to a very lowpoint where people were getting married after the female's first period so they could have child before it was to late and close to death. That was around 600. After that it started to pick up. I am curious after our lowest point of average age at death if we are picking up at the same speed as we originaly declined. If so this has to be saying something. Before Adam and Eve was eternity and maybe we will reach it again.

Coz the population from Adam to Noah was not many. If they only live for 100 years, they had limited years to have children.
Gods will

They couldn't, and they didn't. People 5000 years ago lived to 40 if they were lucky. Never in the whole of human history have we had lifespans as long as they are today.

I believe that years were divided differently then, like 5 months were 1 year or something like that...

People before weren't as sinful as people now. So it's God's way of punishing, making us live shorter than the people from Noah's time.
