There were others not from the bible that lived over 200 yrs. one from the curan lived over 600 yrs. since the 13th or 14th century. a blind asian has a record. I saw an interview about 40 yrs ago on TV about the oldest living man in the world. He was on a pier fishing. They had a translater ask he secret. He said he was never in a hurry to live, and now not in a hurry to die. He looked alot like a portrait of 969 y/o Methusela except w/o the beard. More wrinkles than you could count hanging all over his face. This tells me that perhaps the 2 give evidence that they were truly old. I thought the interviewer said that he was around 150, but that can't be right. In my geneology tree there was a Scott born in the late 1300's and died in the early to mid 1500's. From the time that his dad died to his son's death was about 203 yrs. And going back to the bible it was writing that Jesus when he resurected Lazerus he said those that believe shall never die but live forever, he was talking about on earth not just in spirit but physically.
