Yeah but Seth was a horny little devil.

Actually the ages claimed in the early Genesis myths are pretty much toned down. If you look at even older documents, like the Epic of Gilgamesh the lifespans are considerably longer than anything claimed in the Bible.

These are classic mythos, tales bigger than life designed to entertain and to teach.
