Not if you believe in the Old Testament.. some of those guys lived long lives.. Methuselah something like 969 years, Noah 950.. Adam 930. Just the men though.. women.. didn’t count back in the day.
True story. A gentleman was carrying on about how things were different in his time when he didn’t have the paperwork he needed to continue the process. He then went on about getting old and how that’s affecting him in bad ways. I asked what year he was born. He replied 1975. I smiled. Sir, I responded, by your birth I was 23, just got out of the Army, served a tour in SEA. You got little to fuss about now go get your required paperwork.
