Both Prophets lived many years. Yet, of the two, who is it that is said to have been granted the greatest number of years to live on planet earth?

Actually fantastic stories have been evolved due lack of pragmatic interpretation of parables in Bible and Quran.Sometimes age of a refered to the tenure of teachings.Noah did not live for 950 years.It is the tenure of prophethood.Abraham was origionally following teachings of Noah but a new teaching was revealed on to him and then he became the law bearing prophet himself.Prophets were human beings and their bodies were subject deterioration like others.In old age, their capabilities to work physically or sustain opposition is reduced as such a new subordinate used to takeover.It does not matter Noah lived a few years more or lesser than Adam, what matters is how quickly a prophet had been able to complete his assignment and create a community to takeover or discharging the duties of their prophet.The holy Christ died at age of 124 years as he had a scattered people spread from Palestine to Kashmir in India but the holy prophet of Islam died at the age of 61 years, as he produced a very strong and committed community of followers in only 22 years, who were capable to spread his message.Prophets are deeply engrossed in love of God as such they yearn for returning to their beloved.

Hi.
The bible gives the ages of all the prophets... Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc.. The first few chapters of the book of Genesis (right at the beginning of the bible) talks about these prophets. I can give you the answers easily, but perhaps you might enjoy reading about all of the prophets yourself? The bible gives more information about these men than the Koran does.
Have a nice day :-)

They were very close couldn't remember exactly, but others have said Noah, probably right.

Old fairy tales. Why don't you grow up and let go of that crutch and see the world for what it is. Shake off your brainwashing and learn how to be free and learn all you can about the universe.
Edit: You are the foolish one for believing in those fairy tales.

ADM is a symbol. Noah is a symbol. Not prophets.

Not one of them lived even a second. They are fictitious men.
