The world tells us that the book of Genesis is, if not entirely, at least partially a myth. We are told that history, archaeology, and science contradict supernatural creation and that there were no Adam and Eve in a Garden of Eden, so their sin didn’t bring death into the world.

 

Scripture describes humans living for a very long time, nearly a millennium before the Flood. Many scoff at this, stating this is reason to disregard the Bible. Even some evangelicals claim these ages just can’t be taken literally. But, is that really true?
