I just offerred it as food for thought.
There are few verses (if any) elsewhere in the Bible that address this
circumstance so we are left to wonder about the validity of the writing.

Many of the Biblical folks lived well beyond the 120 year criteria.
The more I learn, the more I understand I don't know.

A lot of my beliefs would get me labeled a "heretic" in most churches.
One thing for sure, wherever we came from was far superior to us. Whatever
our ultimate destiny is still eludes us.

My humble physical self is very gratified when I can make a PIC project
work. I stand a better chance of success in that area.
