'''Human longevity''' | '''Human longevity''' relates to human life spans. Creationist reflections on this topic typically focus on the effects of the flood on the human lifespan, and the cause of [[fall of man|human mortality]]. Ancient historical documents, including the Biblical book of [[Genesis]], record lifespans approximately 10 times above what they are currently. However, immediately after the flood, human longevity shows a rapid decline. According to the [[Bible|Bible's]] book of [[Genesis]], one of the intended consequences of the flood was to reduce the human lifespan to 120 years. | ||
