What I want to know is why folks in the Old Testament lived for hundreds and hundreds of years and today seems that eighty years is the norm.

Daylight Saving Time? ;)

I had it explained to me that ‘time’ was a different concept back then and that a ‘second’ to God could be eons to we humans...or something along those lines.

All I know is that I certainly do NOT want to have a child when I am 90 years old, with a 99 year old husband, most likely also in diapers, as did Biblical Sarah! :)
