Yes, you persist in your LIES, you scoundrel, you bearer of false witness, you dishonest, sorry excuse for a Christian. I pointed out that one century ago, lifespan was half of now. THAT has changed, or are you going to claim that sin is only half as bad now as one century ago?
​
Our lifespan has increased in recent times due to unnatural causes.

I think diseases resulted after the fall from accumulating mutations, and even more so after the flood from bacteria and viruses, which were forced to evolve new equipment in the new environment. Their new equipment was used against their original host organisms causing infectious diseases.
​
But that's just my personal opinion.
​
It makes me wonder again about the question I raised in another forum, "What would a human be like if all of his pseudogenes were fixed?"

How can anything created by god be unnatural? And, wouldn't it be sinful not to learn about his creation and live as best we can in it?
​
We created modern medicine and modern sanitation devices. If we hadn't, our life spans would be back to where they were before.
​
There's nothing sinful at all about this.
​
I'm just saying the recent increase in lifespan is attributable to Man's inventions.

No, I think the original argument I butted in on was that factors after the fall of Adam led to the decrease in lifespan. Something was said to the effect that recent increase in lifespan is contrary to this notion. I was just saying that this recent increase in life span is due to unnatural causes, so it doesn't really have anything to do with the consequences of the fall.
