Biblical ages?

Already have a thought to ponder. Have you ever wondered how folks from the Bible like Methuselah (sp?) lived for 900 some years? Did they report time differently? Did they eat better, live more cleanly? Exercise more? Today, when we have advanced medicine, we are lucky to live to 80. Is it pollution? What was it that kept them around so long? Was it a spiritual thing? Closer to God or something? Any ideas are appreciated.

I think when there were fewer people on the earth, God needed them to live longer to propogate the earth. There is my unbiblical answer.

There came a point when he reduced the life span deliberately...I cannot remember where or the details exactly. Perhaps that will get you started.
