A scientist postulates that humans could have lived much longer in theory, but they adapted to an environment where they were being eaten by carnivorous dinosaurs.
I find it fascinating when secular science resonates with the biblical narrative in some way. It never lines up 100% due to the limitations on the fallen mind, the assumptions, and limited data they are working with, but there is some resonance at times. In this case, the early narratives in Genesis include humans being many centuries old.
And we do agree that predatory animals, and death resulted from the fall. And interestingly would’ve increased exponentially from the time of the flood when the Earth began to be repopulated with animal life, including predators. And according to the biblical narrative, the human lifespan begins to drop very quickly after the flood.
