It's amazing to know our ancestors lived more than a hundred years :D

I think far more than we used to find jervis.

We would have quite a bit of the longevity as half the reason we live longer is simple knowledge of what's good and bad for us, not necessarily the medicines and technologies. We know about the use of vitamins and proper nutrition, exercise, etc.

If all the technology was to disappear tomorrow you might see an slight drop in longevity, but not a major one.

Jervis, I see no reason why not. Science is constantly advancing and resources being found.

It's all in the head. what you think, believe and feel will be. As simple as that.Although...it is not really simple.

By what rationale jervis? The average life span is now 67, less than a hundred years ago it was 45. How in the world do you think for five seconds that our natural lives are getting shorter?

on a serious note,

I have read this (of people living hundreds of years) in some scriptures but that was because of “concept of calendar and duration of Year”. They also mention having different durations (not 365 days) of “their” years. I also read that they (I’m probably referring to civilization a few thousand years back) had their own concept of year.

Current concept of year/calendar is relatively new phenomena and I won’t wonder if, in primitive days, they had “their” year equal to current month or so.

Our Knowledge is evolved (very slow process) not acquired in a day!

It does not compute. VGER is the creator of all Carbon Lif Forms.

Yeah, I was wondering. But this is better, WK.

LP I edited to give a different example as some people understand only religion talk :)

By anonymous• 5 Apr 2011 12:37

The concept of Hinduism came around 5,500 BC which was 1500 years before creation. I am getting goose bumps thinking about it. I was born in a religion which existed even before creation.. Doesn't make ANY sense whatsoever but hey it feels great.

Must feel great, WK, to stand there where nobody went before according to bluvander! Is everything else ok?

By anonymous• 5 Apr 2011 12:31

In this case, bluvander, Methusalem must have lived 90.000 years!

Quite irritating that the "Creation" happened 4000 BC!

Damascus is more than 10 000 years old. Tihuanaco the same. Did they exist before the "Creation?" And 12 000 BC Asians invaded the American continent which was already 4 billion years old. I am confused. Are you trying to tell me that everything the human race has found out so far is bullshyte?

I guess they were not using the same modern calendar that we are using now :(

It would not be possible for them to live for 1000 of years due to the fact that they had no cure for many diseases, nutrition etc etc.

We can hardly make it to 100 inspite of all the medical advances!

If you mean a common ape like ancestor that existed somewhere in Africa roughly 4 million years ago...then yes Brit. But I don't think they lived over a 100 years.

How things come full circle. With medical and technology advances, the humans of tomorrow may live to be a thousand..

To the subject line:

There is 1 "A", 1 "G" & 1 "E" in "AGE".
