Research Scientist, ICR

Live Presentation
11:00am – “Living to 900: Cultural and Scientific Confirmation of One of the Bible’s Most Amazing Claims” | Dr. Jake Hebert
The Bible plainly affirms that people in both the pre-Flood and immediate post-Flood worlds routinely attained ages of hundreds of years. Other ancient historians have corroborated the Bible’s claim in this regard. Moreover, unless this longevity was supernatural, it seems that animals also would have experienced much greater longevity, because it is difficult to conceive of a natural cause for greater longevity (fewer harmful mutations, abundant food, different atmospheric composition, etc.) that would not also have affected the animal kingdom. Growth bands in fossil oysters show direct evidence of greater longevity than in their living descendants. Moreover, longevity studies in living animals have shown that giantism and delayed maturation are often associated with greater longevity, and there is abundant evidence for both in the fossils.
Dinosaur Week
