Do you think someone ever lived to be 1,000 years old?

[LinkxPeach]

According to the Bible, Adam lived to be 930 years old. Some people in the Bible has ate the fruit from the tree of eternity.

[OfDeath]

No. There is a biological limit on how long humans can keep cell division going and it is roughly 120 years give it take a few given individual variance. There are some living organisms which can live for 1000 years though, such as Greenland sharks, trees and some corals. Identifying the particular genes responsible for that and complicated genetic engineering could be attempted but most genes have more than one effect, so this might be impossible. We don't know enough about the technology yet. With selective breeding of only the longest living humans and destruction of the shortest, humans may increase their lifespan, however it is not known how to gauge human longevity preemptively. Obviously one can't wait until a woman turns 105 years old and then impregnate her. That won't work

The answer is no, humans have never lived for 1000 years. The Bible is myth.

If the Bible a myth, then how come it talks about the Earth, Asia? Why does the Bible talks about the Ten Commandments, but some people still commit them, and get themselves kill for committing them?

[OfDeath]

Because Asia was part of human history and Asia is on Earth. If you understand the scripture properly, it never literally mentions the planet Earth. It is referring to the ground and the sky. Which is quite strange considering the ancient Greeks and egyptians had actually already calculated that the earth was a sphere hundreds of years before the Bible was written.

As for the ten commandments, most of those are just common sense with a few oppressive safeguards thrown in to keep people under the thumb of religious authoritarianism.

[LinkxPeach]

Actually, it does talks about Earth in the book of Genesis.

[OfDeath]

Not as a planet. The word planet is never used or implied.

I think you atheists just want to deny evidence that people give you guys that God don’t exists. Because every time someone give y’all some proof. You guys don’t believe it, and like to argue with people.

[OfDeath]

No, that's flat denial of reality. If there was any proof, it would be accepted. There is proof of electricity, proof of wind, proof of the sun, proof of extinct phyla etc etc and that proof is accepted because it is based on reliable, testable evidence. Until such evidence is presented for gods, there is simply no reason to believe in it.

[LinkxPeach]

If God doesn’t exist, then who created Adam, and Eve? Who created the animals? Who created Earth?

[OfDeath]

Who created Adam and Eve? Wow, you’re not very well informed. But that’s ok because I’m going to give you a decent answer. After reading the following, you will have your consciousness raised to some facts you were previously unaware. Your current view is nothing but the result of bias caused by severe ignorance. This will go towards helping enlighten you to reality.
Adam and Eve were not real people. They are fictional characters from Jewish mythology. In fact, the way Jewish myth explains their origins is refuted by scientific discovery and did not happen. Furthermore, they are not even a unique type of entity in myth. Their narrative is taken from older creation stories. Interestingly “Adam" is actually very unimaginative nomenclature when one accounts for the original Hebrew text as opposed to the anglicized version most Christians are familiar with. The name Adam actually comes from the ancient Hebrew word for dirt. Older myths from other parts of the world such as China and Egypt to name only two have extremely similar stories for the origins of people. Even more glaring is that Genesis chapter 2 (which is the one with Adam and Eve) was written before chapter one. Hundreds of years before. Chapter 1 was only written in response to a Babylonian creation myth to claim divinity in Judaism over the Babylonian religion. Even more embarrassing for the Jews (and Christians) is that the story was barely altered from the Babylonian text. Nothing better than scriptural plagiarism. So the answer is that Adam and Eve were created by Jewish storytellers who were borrowing (or stealing) ideas from older myth.

[OfDeath]

Who created the animals? The very question itself is a fallacy of presumption in that you are presuming a sentient entity created all of Earth’s animals. Before Charles Darwin (and Alfred Wallace must also be acknowledged here) the archaic view was that god created animals via spontaneous generation as per the many religious creation stories (which we covered in previous paragraphs). However, since the discovery and scientific confirmation of evolution through experimentation, observation and further discovery, we now know that animals were in fact not created by a sentient being but rather they evolved through a process of biological evolution over a geological length timespan and that process began as a result of the natural chemistry present on the early earth.

[OfDeath]

Who created the Earth? Again, another fallaciously presumptive question. Since we have been able to observe the cosmos through advanced telescopes and track intricate features of the cosmic environment, we have been able to discern how planets (which is what Earth is) naturally form in the universe. Our understanding is so clear on this matter that we can actually point out places throughout the galaxy where this process is happening. The very simple answer is that before our Sun and Earth existed, there was what is known ad a solar nebula (a cosmic cloud of dust and gas left over from cosmic processes of evolution) this cloud collapsed under gravity and with influence from a shockwave caused by a near by supernova explosion. A star was born out of the most dense and massive conglomeration and the planets including earth were formed from what remained far enough away from the sun’s gravitational pull with the heavier elements creating the rocky and metallic cores of the planets and the lighter elements creating the gaseous atmospheres. This is basic physics and it has been confirmed by experimentation, observation and further discovery.

[OfDeath]

And by the way, I have never claimed god doesn't exist. I simply point out there is no reason to believe it does. Everything ever written, read, or heard about gods comes from human imagination and nowhere else. End of.

[jshm2]

You're confused, as the tree of knowledge and tree of eternity are in heaven - not Earth.

Also, 1,000 isn't "eternity," you dummy.

According to the Sumerian texts some of their kings were hundreds of years old too.

[LinkxPeach]

You pussy ass, dumbas*, justice seeking, good guy, little boy!

[LinkxPeach]

Wow, I didn’t know that atheists are so fucking stupid!

[LazerBean]

Nobody recorded in the bible has eaten the fruit of eternal life, and nobody in the Bible has been recorded to live 1000 years.

[D_Bone_Steak]

That's the idea, they were eating of the tree of life and the whole reason God came down on them was eating of the tree of knowledge as well. The golden apples in Nordic religions kind of remind me of the same thing. Kinda weird that these vastly different peoples had the same Gods and stories. Reminds me of Charles Gustav Yung... and his theory that all humankind has basic archetypes built into their brain. The strong man for instance... Samson, Heracles, etc.

I think it's sort of remarkable as a dude that will probably live 100 years tops.

[Cubus]

It's metaphorical. First people like Adam, Set or Matuzalem lived longer because they weren't tainted with sin that much as we are now. Sin kills you as a person. In Bible it's showed that sinning makes you live shorter.

[exitseven]

joe biden will be a thousand years old in October.

[FunkyMonkee]

Supposedly Medusela and Noah.
