So Much For The Bible Critics...

...who have been saying ad naseum that "we can't take the Bible literally". This new scientific discovery proves that human bodies do indeed have the built in capability to live hundreds of years. Genesis 5:27: "So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty nine years; and he died." These scientists say that 800 year life spans are not only "possible", but "inevitable".

"A genetically engineered organism that lives 10 times longer than normal has been created by scientists in California. It is the greatest extension of longevity yet achieved by researchers investigating the scientific nature of ageing.

If this work could ever be translated into humans, it would mean that we might one day see people living for 800 years. But is this ever going to be a realistic possibility?

Valter Longo is one of the small but influential group of specialists in this area who believes that an 800-year life isn't just possible, it is inevitable. It was his work at the University of Southern California that led to the creation of a strain of yeast fungus that can live for 10 weeks or more, instead of dying at its usual maximum age of just one week."
