Living 900 years has GOT to be a bit boring

And God said, Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be dividing between the waters and the waters. And God made the expanse, and He separated between the waters which were under the expanse and the waters which were above the expanse. And it was so. (Genesis 1:6-7) In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day all the fountains of the great deep were risen, and the windows of the heavens were opened up. And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. (Genesis 7:11-12) I have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. And it will be when I gather the clouds on the earth, then the bow shall be seen in the clouds. (Genesis 9:13-14) And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years. And he died. (Genesis 9:29) These four scriptures, I believe, tell us volumes about the earth upon which Adam and Eve walked. The earth of The Garden of Eden was like a greenhouse, heavily overcast, with no direct sunlight. Genesis 1: 6-7 tells us that God separated the waters above from the waters below and called that thing in between "heaven" (or "sky" as Hebrew and modern English both use the word heaven to refer to that which we see when we look up, as well as to refer to the abode of God) As we read thru the various geneologies in the early chapters of Genesis, we see lifetimes spanning centuries. How can this be? While I believe God created an "old Earth" I also beleieve God did not create geneticaly faulty creatures. If we were able to look at the genetic material from Adam or any of the creatures that populated the earth of his day we would seee NO mutations, and because of the heavy cloud cover there would be no damaging solar radiation to start the process of genetic mutations. so it was not untill after the flood, when God opened "the windows of heaven" and released the "waters above" to flood the earth, creating mostly clear skies, and exposing mankind and flora and fuana alike to essentially unfiltered solar radiation. Further proof of this is the fact that the Rainbow appearing in the clouds was a new thing. Why and how was this a new thing? To see a rainbow the air must contain water molecules AND DIRECT SUNLIGHT. therefor; beasue there had been no direct sunlight before teh flood a rainbow had never been seen And finally we see through the various geneologies that after Noah the lifespans reduced with each generation: Gen 9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years Genesis 11:10-11These are the generations of Shem: Shem was a son of a hundred years and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood. And after he fathered Arpachshad, Shem lived five hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters. Gen 11:12-12 And Arpachshad lived thirty five years and fathered Salah. And after he fathered Salah, Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years. And he fathered sons and daughters. Gen 11:18-19 And Peleg lthirty years and fathered Reu. And after he fathered Reu, Peleg lived two hundred and nine years. And he fathered sons and daughters. And so it goes ... until Abraham, who "only" lived for 175 years
