Giants, Genetics, and Pre-Flood Longevity | The Creation Podcast: Episode 81
Scripture describes humans living for a very long time, nearly a millennium before the Flood. Many scoff at this, stating this is reason to disregard the Bible. Even some evangelicals claim these ages just can’t be taken literally. But, is that really true?
 
In the last episode, we looked at historical and scientific evidence to corroborate the Bible’s claim that the Genesis patriarchs lived to extremely old ages. In fact, this longevity was probably experienced by at least some animals, as well. In this podcast, we ask the question, Might it eventually be possible for biblical creationists to actually explain this extreme longevity?
 
Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Jake Hebert as they discuss this topic on episode 81 of The Creation Podcast.
