Another wack-a-doodle - Noah's Ark and Soc. Security

3. So many things wrong with his "reasoning" it's hard to know where to begin.

I'll start with anyone stupid or gullible enough to believe that people actually lived for 600 years at any time in the past is hardly worth noticing.

The Bible doesn't mention all sorts of things. Telephones, diapers, okra, penguins. The list goes on and on. If I were some sort of believer, I'd be inclined to think the commandment about honoring fathers and mothers could cover Social Security.

Worse yet, the Bible mentions, with some approval I believe, all sorts of things we don't hold with today. Like slavery. Certain rules about food, although there's a subgroup of Bible believers (Jews) who tend to follow those rules, although not all Jews do.

I guess this guy is quite bothered by the idea that anyone at all might live past a point when he or she can do physical labor.
