BIBLICAL LIFE SPAN IS 120 YEARS

Are we missing the mark or did God change His mind?.

In the 1975 to 1980s, a cohort of scientists came to the conclusion that the maximum lifespan of humans are 120. It was found that before reaching the age of one hundred and twenty several processes responsible for the reproduction of cells start to fail. This causes the death of cells and the individual.


Lately, scientists claimed that that the reason why cell division stops at the age of 120 years had been discovered. They said that the cause was due to something called telomeres. Telomeres seemed to be the enlightenment to solve the puzzle of the human life cycle. Besides, telomeres are a type of protection that caps chromosomes on our DNA strings. However, as a cell divides the telomere does gradually decrease in length. The process of cell division perpetually continues until the telomeres become too short, then the cell will eventually die.

However, three thousand years ago, people did equally forecast human maximum lifespan to be 120 years.
For instance: the Lord said, my spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. (Genesis 6:3)


The bible says that human maximum lifespan is one hundred and twenty years. How can this be true when there are stories where people live more than 900 years?

The verse claiming that human age limit is 120 years demonstrates how God impose changes. Alterations are often achieved through changes occurring in physical laws and natural processes.
In the book of Psalm the lifespan of human has reached an equilibrium ranging from 70 to 80. This means that people are living roughly 58 to 66 percent of possible human maximum lifespan.

A logical explanation for the age limit 120 years, can be solved by claiming that God didn’t ordain the age limit to begin immediately. In other words, it is a process that occurs through physical laws and natural process. Mutation by DNA is one way that can explain how the Lord altered lifespan. For instance, Noah and Methuselah was likely born before the age restriction was imposed. Moreover, Moses did by coincident live exactly to the age limited established in the Old Testament.

I'll take the 120 restriction and I will take care of this body that will have to withstand 120 total years.



And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. (Genesis 6:3)
