Interesting: why we have a short span of life

I'm one of those old fossils, age 77, but I am definitely not threatened by NEW ideas.
I like to think that our ancestors were just as adventurous as young folks in their teens and twenties.
Plus our progenitors, had original revealed knowledge and intellect and physical attributes that would put to shame those of us who are the result of centuries of deterioration and genetic diseases.
Contrary to popular scientific belief, our ancestors who lived in caves, if that be true, (I'm confident that they had ample building materials) had many advantages that we today do not enjoy. One of those advantages would have been insatiable curiosity and the physical/mental ability to take advantage of it. We on the other hand are the result of natural entropy due to disobedience to God's perfect laws.
Hoping to hear more from you in Brazil.

Hello Bob!
Thanks for the comment. All this thread has made me change my mind about several topics already! I truly enjoy being part of the BT family.
God bless!

Hi Bob -
Your statement on accepting new ideas brings to mind a quote from a recent centenarian I've always kept in my thots:
"one reason I attribute to my longevity is to embrace change... even if it slaps you in the face."
He was still mentally adept and going strong!
I have also equally believed and adhered to this quote of yours:
We on the other hand are the result of natural entropy due to disobedience to God's perfect laws. [end quote]
I believe it is because of this reason that mankind dies off as early as we do (in God's perfect plan) with the corrupted food supply offered to each of us -- our polluted environment (air, water, ozone etc. ) and the mutations in our genetic makeup.
hey - btw --- since Plymouth is so close to Auburn.... I was wondering if the Auburn car show was still going on? Auburns were some of the most beautiful automobiles I have seen. I was in attendance once in '85. Have an uncle and cousins who live there.

Is the Bible correct to say that only eight persons survived the "flood"?
Does this account for the remaining Giants if any?
Or were they protected somewhere else and came out of hiding to fight David?

I'm ready. This is not a shot in the dark------------well, maybe.
I do agree and believe that there were 8 people who entered the huge ark.
I do agree and believe that Noah gathered all sorts of animals, etc.,
We are talking HUGE amounts of work to be done.
(And that reminds me of a song I'm gonna post. It's too 8) for school.)
Does anyone remember how Ray says -- a statement of fact is not a statement of limitation? Hmmm?
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that [those days], when the sons of God [the First Adam/Humanity - as in: Let Us make HUMANITY in Our image] came in unto the daughters of men [why OF men and not of God, like the sons of God? Is it possible that these daughters of men would have been daughters of the aforementioned giants?], and they [the big girls?] bare children to them [sons of God], the same [children] became mighty men. Mighty men? Mighty like giants?
These are valid questions.
I wouldn't want to make an idol out of this or anything--but how unlikely would it be to assume that God kept some of those mighty men and giants around for the express purpose of taking care of all those animals? It would have taken a boatload of people to do all that work. Heck, the giants I imagine helped get some of those larger animals into the ark.
So my "theory" is that these same giants came out from Noah's ark and that's how they would have survived the flood and in that way were, as you said, "protected and came out of hiding." Did these giants then go to fight David? I don't know the answer to that question.
But I had fun figuring that other stuff out. :)

Hi Gina and all,
So many unsubstantiated "facts" to unravel.
I will get back to ya'll on this after my appointment for Depo-medrol.
It's for my steel knee which is swollen, limiting my work out at the Gym.
I know, I know steel doesn't swell, but the tissue around it does.
Plus some of this stuff I have to research in my human anatomy texts.
Regards, Ole Bob (who was on the big boat 4300 years ago) in spirit

I'm thinking these 'giants' might rock the boat a bit... ;D
