Did People in Bible Times Really Live So Long?

What is a sign?

This is the sign..

Through revelation of DNA and genetics we now know that aging within any living organism is a well engineered and designed process.
Everytime the human body cells regenerate (split), it keeps an internal counter of how many times it has splitted before.
And after some threshold it will start to mutate to some extent that some of the cells will run amok and caused damage such as cancers..
https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayflick_limit

It's all decided for us. Who wants to live forever?
-- Brian May

Everything has it's life cycle in this universe.. it's all as designed...
Religion, Holy Books, Nationality, Language, Species, Planet, Star, Galaxy.. it all goes through the lifecycle and will meet it's death at the end...

Your body, your identity, your religion, your nationality, your ethnicity even your name is not who you really are.
It will wither and go away, as designed...
Don't be too attached to them...

@Jafar
salam,

Yes,but i just aked what is it with Noah and the Story to become a sign?sign is only used in a few Story that made them different from others.

what i want to Point out is quranictalking for sign is to be know from People outside the scripture .So when it Comes to say "sign" then People will see that sign without reading the holy scriptures.

From my understanding Qoran wanted to convey the two periods of time of Satatin and Aaman as well as both numbers 1000 and 50. for us to investigate why?
We know why Qoran uses the numbers. The mathematical structure is such that all the numbers mentioned are counted and conform to 19 divisibility..

Peace, yes investigate (1736) nothing with 19 infatuation and not 950 (separate terms used).

there is a vers in quran who is talking about the feeding of about should take two years

peace -- it's within or less than two years else equations don't work....

3114 and separation his in/within (< less than) mayni/year two (lunar)

4615 and carry his and separation his thirtieth shahran/moon cycle of until when reach vigor his (maturity age) and reach forty sanatan

p = pregnancy time (variable)
w = weaning time (variable)

w < 709 days {3114 (24 x (lunar months) = 708.73 days}

886 days ? p < 709 days {4615 30 x (lunar months) = 885.92 days}
p = 886 days ? 709 days = 177+ days (5.99+ lunar months)

30 shr = pregnancy + weaning
(days) days/mts days/mts

886 = 179/6 + 707/23.9 (Rumasia and Hiba pre-mature pregnancy)
886 = 207/7 + 679/23
886 = 236/8 + 650/22
886 = 266/9 + 620/21 (average pregnancy)
886 = 295/10 + 591/20
886 = 325/11 + 561/19
886 = 354/12 + 532/18
886 = 375/12.7 + 511/17.3 (baby Penny longest recorded pregnancy)

Therefore, babies born premature need more weaning time while those born late need less.

Peace Noon.
Just a simple answer as fact or not a fact

The Quran mentions 30 different whole numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 99, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50, 000, & 100, 000. The sum of these numbers is 162146, which equals 19x8534.

Remember not really debatable, either true or false?
Even if you think it is a coincidence!
GOD bless you.

Is this opposite of what your saying

And indeed We had sent Noah towards his nation;

Whereupon he lived among them for a thousand lunar years save fifty solar years.

For reason/in consequence of contradicting him flood seized them while they were persistently evil doers.

Peace Noon.
Yes. That is the right answer.
You are wrong on 2234. There is no 14. There is 4 and 10. Look again, it does not say Arbaata Ashara Ashhoor(14) in the verse?
There is Arbaata Ashhoor-4 months - Wa Ashra- And 10.

si di,

How would you translate it. You mean Prophet Noah lived among his people long period except 50 years?

Peace,

si_di

Dear NK,

Thats how i understand the versThe Region were he lived was longway habitated by humans, how Long we dont know.But since Adam i guess and till Noah pboh was born ,grew up and left the Region the quran uses the the Expression 1000 sanat.

So when Noah was born till he migrated 50years passed but when he started his Mission ,i dont know.

He had a Family,Wife and children and because his wife did not embark with him on the ship i sugest that his Children were already adults otherwise it would be ravenmother.

Maybe The children were married too at least his first born child (bible call him Sem).He probably started his Mission with 45years when his wife left ,that would mean the children are in their Teens and young adults when he is 50years.

The quran does not say boys "daqr" or youngster "fiyatun" so i came to this conclusion.And to build boaot for a few people with a few Animals would take if his children helped maybe round about half a year.

Peace, I need to research this more believe they're all the same especially pregnancy and weaning calculations which vary on the cutoff depending if using solar or lunar years.

It's clear mun/year; mayni/year two (i.e. singular and two/dual) and sinina/years (i.e. plural) are the same if referring to "number" whereas sanatan is used if referring to age/epoch.

e.g. Perf558 says shahru jumada the first of sanatin twosome and twenty (i.e. year 22 of that dating system).

https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PERF_558

Noon_waalqalami

Peace, it always refers to "solar" year/s.

1 year count 9126 min/year (solar); likewise (100) 2259 hundred min/year (solar)
2 year count 3114 mayni/year (solar) two

pl. years count
105 l-sinina/the years (solar)
1242 several (i.e. 3 to 9) sinina/years (solar)

sanatin refers to "collective" time-span

mayni/year two (solar) calculations...

3114 and separation his in/within (< less than) mayni/year two (solar)
4615 and carry his and separation his thirty shahran/lunar cycle of

p = pregnancy time/carry his (variable)
w = weaning time/separation his (variable)

w < 731 days {3114 (2 x solar years / day) = 730.5 days}
886 days ? p < 731 days {4615 30 x (lunar months / day) = 885.92 days}
p = 886 days ? 731 days = 155+ days

30 shr = pregnancy + weaning
(days) days/mts days/mts
886 = 154/5.20 + 732/24.80 < mayni/year two (solar) 730.5 days = False
886 = 156/5.28 + 730/24.72 < mayni/year two (solar) 730.5 days
886 = 177/6.00 + 709/24.00
886 = 179/6.06 + 707/23.94 Rumasia and Hiba
886 = 207/7.00 + 679/23.00
886 = 236/8.00 + 650/22.00
886 = 266/9.00 + 620/21.00 average pregnancy
886 = 295/10.00 + 591/20.00
886 = 325/11.00 + 561/19.00
886 = 354/12.00 + 532/18.00
886 = 375/12.70 + 511/17.30 baby Penny

https//www.verywell.com/worlds-smallest-preemies-2748663

Hence possibility of survival is 155+ days (22 weeks!) pregnancy require longer weaning time.
Whereas average pregnancy (9 months) need 21 months weaning; 10 month requires 20, etc.

mayni/year two (lunar) calculations ...

w < 709 days {3114 (24 x (lunar months / day) = 708.73416 days}
886 days ? p < 709 days {4615 30 x (lunar months / day) = 885.92 days}
p = 886 days ? 709 days = 177+ days

30 shr = pregnancy + weaning
(days) days/mts days/mts
886 = 174/5.90 + 712/24.10 < mayni/year two (lunar) 708.7 days = False
886 = 177/6.00 + 709/23.999 < mayni/year two (lunar) 708.7 days
886 = 207/7.00 + 679/23.000
886 = 236/8.00 + 650/22.000
886 = 266/9.00 + 620/21.000 average pregnancy

Therefore above cutoff is below 177 days (6 lunar months) or only 25 weeks pregnancy.

sanatin refers to "collective" time-span

whereas sanatan is used if referring to age/epoch.

According to your Analysis you agree that Noah did not aged 1000 years`?

NK

si di,

I am more incline towards your interpretation of Alf Sinatin means long period but I cant find the interpretation of exception particle attached to this verse which stopped me accepting completely. How do we translate it?

I have checked other verses, like in Chapter 2 verse 96 means long period, in chapter 97 verse 3 (I think) also means abundance or long period, also I can't remember the verse but in somewhere in Quran, God is talking about his one day as a long period (Alf Sinatin).

I am sure other people on this group will either endorse or oppose the theory.

950 would be (tis?a mi?a khamsun) and does NOT say khamsun/fifty (50)

Likewise, it says man/year of (?a year?) NOT mun/year

e.g. 937 allowing it man/year of (?a year?)
and prohibiting it man/year of (?a year?)

Perhaps 1,000 sanatin/age only khamsna/fiftieth (50th) man/year of (?a year?)?

i.e. 1,000 / 50 = 20 years total

here are the rest?
