Well yeah



By the end of this century I fully expect people to be able to easily live to 120 or longer

On the other hand, I do believe my OP will have to be modified in the near future.

Didn't Methuselah live to be around 900 years old? I think Noah or someone else from the Bible lived to be around 600. Sounds like we're living a lot shorter time today.

I think I understand what you're saying. If healthy, humans don't live longer today than they did in the past. Medical advances have allowed for humans who have disease/illness to live longer, thus making the average age of death high now, than it was in the past.

This is not a thread about your certified pilot (?) accreditation. It's about biblical lifespans. Please stay on topic.
