Question:,Do we have any archeological evidence to back-up the long lifespans of Genisis? If lifespans were commonly long back then wouldn’t at least some skeletons from that range of time show evidence of great age?,Answer:,There is no physical evidence supporting the several hundred year life spans listed in Genesis. Not as far as I know. Some people have tried to use the mythologies of other peoples, especially from Mesopotamia, but I believe that this is not useful to prove Genesis. Such writings are generally clearly mythical (unlike Genesis).,Sorry.,John Oakes, PhD
