The Institute for Creation Research 'explains' things about long life...


"One of the favorite characters in the Old Testament is Methuselah, who lived 969 years (Genesis 5:27), longer than anyone else recorded. His father was Enoch, of whom it is said he "walked with God" (5:24) but who was taken to heaven without dying at 365 years. Methuselah's son Lamech died a few years before the Flood at 777 years (5:31) after bearing Noah."... (there's more)

...except that almost all explanations involve some simple rationalization involving a speculation about God's thought process- since they can't doubt what God did. Geology, paleontology, biology (including DNA research) are all subjected to the same analysis as Methuselah's life span.

Fifty-five men? 969 years? Dinosaurs on the ark, who all conveniently died 'later'?

To paraphrase what Humpty-Dumpty said to Alice:"When I explain a concept or fact, it means exactly what I know God meant... no less & no more."
