Old As Dirt! Genesis 5:3-17 in part; 18-32 NLT

How long do you want to live? 80? 90? 100+? I guess it would depend on the quality of life. How about hundreds of years? 

Not too long ago, David and I watched a movie called "The Age of Adeline". It's about a women in an accident and as a result, she stops aging. The movie shows the loneliness she faces as a result. At the end of the movie, another accident begins the aging process again. 

Before the flood, man lived hundreds of years. I believe  this to be true because the Bible tells us so. If you can believe God created the world out of nothing, if you can believe God created the world in seven literal days then why is it not possible for man to have lived close to 1000 years?
