Did the Bible's Ancient Families Count Years the Same Way We Do Today?

[mythociate]

I'm reading Genesis 5, and seeing that most of the guys didn't start having kids until they were 100-something! You think maybe that's why they lived so long (along with rumors that there was a glass-ceiling surrounding the planet, protecting us from the sun's aging rays)?

When we see man was living longer in early account of Bible we were closer to Adams perfection.He does tell Moses after years passed they wouldn't amount to over 120 years.

You bring up rays from the sun.Well its obvious the earth,the food,the water,the air are polluted,so these certainly are factors in todays disease.
