Re: I'll tell you why we are mortal.

Anyone can make up a theory, what real world observation led you to this conclusion?
I will assume that you are talking to me, theunify. (I think you intend for your handle to be theunity because theunify is actually pretty bad English and doesn't really make any sense. Why don't you create the new handle and stop using the old one? Just an idea.)

What is easier than making up a theory is to challenge it without providing a counter-submission to substantiate one's doubts.

The real world experience I draw upon in the first paragraph of my previous post is plain common sense:
1. people just don't live that long and it is ridiculous to think that they did
2. people were stupid in those days
3. they lived close enough to the equator to make it virtually impossible to tell one season from another.
4. therefore the moon is the ideal time reference
5. the result of calculating their ages by dividing them by twelve gives rational numbers representing normal lifespans. What made those biblical figures special is that they lived relatively long lives for any time, especially in a time when ordinary people were kicking off normally at around thirty to forty years of age.

As to my real world experience pertaining to the second paragraph, the numbers were obtained from one of the many NASA websites on the subject of evolution. The conclusion that I drew is an obvious one.

Therefore no theoretical thought went into that post, just plain common sense and logic. Satisfied?
