→Breach of Lord's command?

One of evolutionists' argument is that even after Lord commanded people to live 120 years, some Biblical characters lived longer. This is simply a misapplication of God's declaration. Clearly Noah, his sons and generations to follow lived longer, with declining ages attached to each generation. Clearly God didn't mean 120 years until the Flood came, since it arrived 100 years later. | One of evolutionists' argument is that even after Lord commanded people to live 120 years, some Biblical characters lived longer.

This 120 years is a provision of God's mercy, that those alive during this time would not see more than 120 years, thus limiting the total number of people killed in the Flood. The Bible claims "all flesh had corrupted his way", a direct explanation of how physical flesh loses its original "way" or path of genetic flow. Every creature had a prescribed "path" or "way" intended by the Creator and | This 120 years is a provision of God's mercy, that those alive during this time would not see more than 120 years, thus limiting the total number of people killed in the Flood. The Bible claims "all flesh had corrupted his way", a direct explanation of how physical flesh loses its original "way" or path of genetic flow. Every creature had a prescribed "path" or "way" intended by the Creator and when this flesh's "way" was corrupted (via corrupted genes) this would eventually affect the entire creation, including mankind. | ||
The primary risk of not Flooding the earth, would be the risk that mankind's genetics would be irreversibly corrupted so that God could not bring forth a "kinsman Redeemer", a human male from the seed of the woman. God's original intent was to personally enter history using genetics (overshadowing and impregnating Mary) and it was necessary to protect mankind's bloodline from irreversible corruption. The only way to do this (for mankind and for the animals) was to eradicate the corrupted genetics so they could not further affect the various genomes. | The primary risk of not Flooding the earth, would be the risk that mankind's genetics would be irreversibly corrupted so that God could not bring forth a "kinsman Redeemer", a human male from the seed of the woman.

This necessarily required a single, global event to cut off the corrupted bloodlines, hence the need for a global Flood. | ||
