This is where the math really stops working. I haven't done it completely yet, but considering how long these people are still living, it looks like there'd be people who knew Abraham personally who'd have seen Jesus Christ personally, or at least their parents would have, and there'd be serious attention given to what these people are doing that makes them so old. Given that I'm not even halfway through the Book of Genesis, that's really not workable.
But as you can see, there is a major appeal to scripture which is why it's lasted for so long and inspired so many people. The point is that God and His adversary are working their way through the book and, by extension to everybody else who follows it. As humans, we aren't complicated enough to comprehend it all, but the point is that each of us as individuals are playing our own role in God's plan and we don't know what's going to happen next. I certainly didn't expect to write all this when I woke up this morning. Yet here we are, thanks to God.
