In post #1 of this thread, Odin contends that, "according to the genealogical records of Genesis 5, there were 1,656 years from Adam to the Flood. However, the population constants were significantly different then from what-they now are. Men lived to great ages and evidently had large families. Excepting Enoch, who was taken into heaven without dying at age 365 (Gen. 5:23-24), the average of the recorded ages of the nine antediluvian patriarchs was 912 years." Yadda yadda yadda.

Oden, you must also take into consideration:
1) These antediluvian folk were uneducated and were lucky to be able to count above ten, or twenty if using their toes as well as their fingers.
2) These antediluvian folk lived in a climate wherein an extremely dense layer of clouds and greenhouse gasses shielded the sun to the extent that not only were there no rainbows, but the folk had a hard time seeing the sun and moon well enough to tell time and often lost count of the days, months, and years.
3) The young antediluvian ladies, especially the daughters of man, were so busy constantly running and hiding from Nephilim and other horny super-human creatures that they often lost count of their children's ages and birthdays.
4) Antediluvian folk were vegetarians, and if you remember your teachings, after being cast out of Eden, they had to depend upon leafy vegetation for sustenance in addition to fruit. This diet of leafy green vegetation often led to ingestion of psychodelic plants such as Jimson weed, ergot of rye, foxglove, mistletoe, bad mushrooms, and other substances that caused antediluvian folk to lose all track of time. Life often appeared much much longer than the actual time spent breathing under these dire conditions.
5) Since Adam and Eve were the only fully human antediluvian stock (Abel was killed and Cain married into a family of subhuman species), the question of how many millions of the resulting hybrid population died in a flood plainly intended to wipe the earth clean of these inbred, semi-human cretins is moot.
