Dr. Don Clark of Creation Moments joins Jim and David for a look at a recent post on the Institute of Creation Research web site rhetorically asking if Adam really lived for 930 years and displaying evidence that lifespans have followed a predictable course downward since the time of Noah and correlate with what we are told in Genesis …

Interesting thoughts, particularly with respect to “the Rapture”. This notion of a rapture to take out the Church pre-tribulation seems to date only back until the 16th century. Paul’s reference to a “meeting in the sky” seems to have been related to a cultural understanding of his day and did not translate well for our consideration because we lack the context.
Thanks for your comments, B.
The problem with David and Patricia is they seem to want a return to veganism- this is anti-biblical in the same sense an argument could be made for “Christian nudists” After all, Adam and Eve were naked before sin entered the world. This is of Satan.The fact remains, why the long life spans is before the Flood, there was an atmospheric curtain of water shielding the planet What should be a common accepted understanding is that the first sacrifice made for our SIN was when G-d killed an animal to cover our nakedness. There is a reason we have canine teeth- G-d already knew we would be killing animals for food! Sorry vegan Christians, but true! If one studies the sacrificial laws given to the Jews- one would see that the burnt offerings made to our Father were designated as food to be given to the Levite Priests. Having said that, there is a book by Dr. Scott Hume, titled, “The Collapse of Evolution” it is an incredible, scientific examination of the fraud of Evolution and how the lies of Satan continue to destroy all the blessings our Father has meant for us. The real problem is that Christians (westernized) have become so seduced by the manna this world has to offer and the “Political Correctness” foisted upon us as an unsuspected, unbiblically educated society, that real truth is no longer discernible to the publicly educated. So plant your flag. Stand up and say, “I know the truth and unless you are willing to open your mind and listen, I will shake the dust off of my shoes and move along.” The Earth and the Universe is at the most 6-7,000 years old, and again, there is so much overwhelming proof to support this FACT, that to deny or compromise should show you how far you have been seduced into the Enemy’s camp. Study and you will know the Truth! Our Father does not want you to be ignorant my brothers and sisters, but I have to say, at 52 years of age, I am deeply depressed by how far, we as sheep, have gone astray! If you are comfortable with your beliefs and they are not 100% in line with the 1611 version of the KJB I would question whether you have any true understanding at all-
Brother and Sisters- Pray! Always Pray and know we will be delivered.
(By the way– another incredible lie of the Deceiver- is this “Rapture” nonsense. I’m sorry- you will be here! It is true – there will be no “Rapture” Unless you can show me scripturally, any verse in the KJB that speaks of a THIRD coming of Christ….. if you are alive at the time, you will enter into the trials and tribulations of Man. However, Saved, you will be delivered from the trials and tribulations G-d is going bring upon this incredibly foul, Sin-filled planet! May we all be spared!)
My Father- Thank you so much for your love and tolerance for how idiotic we have become in these Last Days- Give us the understanding to know and realize how professing to be wise, we have become such Fools. Remind us again of Your eternal plan of Love and remind us again, no matter what Satan throws at us as false beliefs, science unfounded, that we remain strong in faith and adhere to the path you have laid before us,
Love all of you- be strong and hold to theTtruth-
May G-d bless you and all of your family- Don’t be deceived!

Would you say, then, that genetics had nothing to do with decreasing life spans? …diet only? Interesting thought! Research has indicated recently, however, that genetics (inbreeding) might have played a pivotal role. However, we can’t pretend to limit God’s tools or prescribe his methods . Thanks for your input!
Life spans began to decrease after the flood with God’s permission to eat everything, which included all kinds of animals. God then limited the kinds of animals, birds and fish as recorded in Leviticus 11, declaring some to be clean, but most to be unclean, resulting in protection from all the diseases the Egyptians had.
