This longevity is believed to be so extraordinarily long in part because environmental conditions were optimal before the [[Earth]] was destroyed during the [[global flood]]. This perhaps maintained by a [[Geomagnetic field decay|stronger magnetic field]] or [[vapor canopy|dense atmosphere]] which collapsed during the [[flood]]. | This longevity is believed to be so extraordinarily long in part because of pristine genetics so close to original creation, environmental conditions were optimal before the [[Earth]] was destroyed during the [[global flood]].
