I’ve started reading the Bible and I finished Genesis. It explains how life started according to the Bible.
What I’m confused is about how the age is mentioned (like Noah being 600 years old, someone else’s wife bearing children at 99 and so forth).
I was looking online and two theories are that the first men were more pure (less inbred) and thus had a longevity of 600-700 years.
Another is that the way age was counted was different.
Can you guys shed some light?
