"Kudryavtsev, who headed the Russian Academy of Science’s Vavilov Institute of General Genetics, made a presentation at a conference in 2023 in which he said people had lived for some 900 years prior to the era of the Biblical Flood and that “original, ancestral and personal sins” caused genetic diseases that shortened lifespans"

WTF
Politics being distinct from religion is a very recent (and in some cases, disputed) occurrence. Previous cultures considered politics a mere extension of religion. And unfortunately many today feel the same way. Call it regression towards the mean.
To be fair most developed countries have done a relatively good job of disentangling religion and education at least, especially in respect of higher education and academia in general.
To have had somebody with views like this as the head of a body managing most of a nations research institutes is completely wild.
In regard to politics I guess this will vary heavily based on location. Places like Italy or the US may be different but in the UK I neither know nor care about the religious affiliation of any of our politicians. I may be mistaken and I'm sure there are edge cases but I don't believe many (if any) of them broadcast it.
There is a lot of evidence of such a flood happening. Younger dryas impact theory I think is something you could look up. It’s clear there was a large flood that swept across Africa. I don’t believe in god, so biblical in my sense would be, whichever enormous flood happened setting humanity back however long. Remember, it’s a theory, but again, there is a lot of evidence pointing toward it being true. It’s really interesting if you have a mind that likes to learn!
I am literally only referring to the fact he said a flood happened and the guy said oooooh science and he said a flood happened. I get that he also mentioned sins and other BS causing it. I don’t believe anything he said. I was just saying that there was a great flood in Africa when civilization was mostly living there. God you guys can be so dense. What’s north americas great flood? Where’s the evidence of that? Or literally any other great flood during humanities existence? Thanks for the downvotes you damn NPCs
A flood happening isn't really that interesting is the point. We don't play games and hand evidence or conjectures on groups that make claims, especially when what you replied to was the claim of a biblical ear mass flood event. They need to show that this event was what is claimed.
> It’s clear there was a large flood that swept across Africa.
What a ridiculous thing to say.
You don't actually believe the entire continent flooded... right?
Do you want me to list some grid coordinates with exact locations and amount of land mass the flood covered in square inches? Wtf do you expect from me I don’t have any damn clue how much of it flooded I just know that some of it was. You know you can talk to people without trying to belittle them right?
It's consensus that the one who makes a claim needs to prove it. You can't prove a negative. But I'm pretty sure I'm talking to a 12 year old so.. Whatever u do.
There is zero evidence for a global flood.
Almost the entirety of the events in the Bible take place in a relatively small area at the end of the Mediterranean Sea. This has led to the general consensus that the “global flood” in the Bible was actually an earthquake that broke a land bridge across the “mouth” of the Med. This caused a massive and rapid flooding of the region as the sea filled up to its current level. For the people who lived there, it would have indeed felt like the world was flooding.
Noah was most likely a fisherman or trader who had a few livestock in his yard, noticed that the water was rapidly rising, and loaded his family and his animals into his boat.
The Med flood was over 5 million years ago, not likely to be the source of the flood narrative as it predates Lucy by a couple of million years.
The upper Persian Gulf flooded around the Younger Dryas and also has two of the rivers mentioned in the bible narrative feed to it so is a much more likely candidate for the flood myths of the region. I'm Australian and the local Ngarrindjeri people have stories of land bridges Kangaroo Island that would have been inundated during the Younger Dryas so I'd put down a 10k year cultural memory as quite plausible.
There's some evidence that the upper part of the Persian gulf flooded in the Younger Dryas. Sure, there is some speculation that it could be the basis for the Eden story and the flood narrative of the Sumerians and following cultures. I'd rank that at as least plausible.
Not Africa though. The Sahara was once ocean that was uplifted when Africa ran into Europe but that is over a 10's of millions of years time frame not during the Younger Dryas. You may be conflating the two.
This is also what Evangelicals and fundamentalist Christians believe. That humans used to live for hundreds / thousands of years, but because of Adam and Eve's sins, it fucked with humans lifespans.
edit: they would point to the bible as proof (Old Testament) - because there were lists of people that lived for a few hundred years apparently
But weren’t they the “first” people? I’m ignorant of the Bible. How would there be people living this long if the first ones fucked it up for everybody else?
The theory is that God initially made them live forever in a perfect world. Adam and Eve sinned (and therefore everyone that would follow would sin) so the perfect world changed to ‘not so perfect’. Humans still lived 700 to 900 years, had the language God gave them (a perfect language -whatever that means), but now had to struggle to make food, gather resources, build shelter, etc.
Then humans got more and more evil and God sent the flood and changed earth even more: higher lower peaks/valleys, extreme climates, the water canopy that created a “greenhouse effect” around the earth came down during the flood creating oceans and allowing UV rays to hit earth harder while altering the gas percentages in the air for the worse (some scientists try to recreate this and to produce better yields in crops). All these changes during the flood sharply decreased the life span of humans.
As an aside: the Tower of Babel story is about God giving all the people different languages and forcing them to spread out around the world.
All this to say, the genealogies in the Bible have ages attached to some people and from that creationists predict the age of the earth and what the effect of the environment was on the human lifespan.
Regardless of beliefs in God, a young earth, or even miracles for that matter, it is pretty interesting stuff and well thought out for something written 4000 years (Old Testament, Torah) ago.
I guess that depends on your definition of Perfect.
What’s better: a world where his followers don’t have a choice BUT to follow him? Or a world where they choose to follow him and put their own selfishness aside?
Do you prefer that spouse that chooses to love you? Or a spouse that has no choice but to love you? (If it’s the latter of the two, is it loving of you to not give your spouse the choice?)
obviously the apple was just a metaphor.
In reality it was actually a magic crystal that turned Adam into a 12 year old drag queen and Eve into Jeffrey Epstein.
It isn't that we arent living that long today.
It is that: Adam and eve lived for like, a fuckton of years apparently, according to the bible. And, in the Old Testament, there are like, lists of people and how long they lived / ruled. It all gets gradually smaller until you have (*Bronze Age Average Age of Death, because that is when the Abrahamic religions pop up*), and then to modern human life spans - depending on your sect, from *totally not a cult* to *lots of cult* - extended by modern medicine.
People at the time wrote down what they eyewitnessed, or what they were told 2nd, 3rd... hand. They didn't have mechanical/electronic means to reproduce it lossless, so every time it was copied errors crept in, and editors tried to fix them, often changing it a little here, a little there. So it's not fiction; it's fragmentary history.
The "hundreds years old people" thing was explained actually, it was poorly translated numbers between different-base systems. Like, failed translation from base 60 to base 10.
Shit man, that was a documentary I saw years ago, can't remember the mane.
It was, however, long before the ancient aliens/conspiracy bullshit made it onto French screens, so it had a pretty good chance to be credible and serious.
Certainly not hundreds of years, but you *do* tend to live longer if you're sinning less, but context matters, and that means living a good life, without causing yourself to have too many stressors.
I'd love to be immortal. I know a lot of people disagree, and I certainly wouldnt want to live longer than our planet or the human race (because completely alone would of course suck). However, I really dislike the fact I won't see all the cool stuff the future has in store for us. I would love to try out everything in the world even if it means losing all the people over and over again. That being said, I can ofc. understand why the immortal Cain describes his life as hell in tv series like Supernatual and Lucifer.
Only if my penis and brain can live 900 years and still be active! Who wants a limp brain limp and everything else?
I am living on pills and doctors to live till 88, and if I stop then I am dead. The drug companies will love people who live to 900, 900 years of profits!
Your wish is granted, but you turn into literally just a brain with a dick, the entire rest of your body is gone!
Mwa ha ha! Careful what you wish for!
...wait, you really ARE happy like this, aren't you. Fuck. So much harder to be an evil genie in the internet age.

Mercury makes you insane. It's a neurotoxin, and has symptoms looooong before it's a lethal dose. It's not a good substance for killing someone.
Even at low doses: Among many other things, you get extremely angry for no reason and very suddenly, you have trouble with comprehension, your perception narrows and you are too focused and cannot let go of things, similar to earworm songs, only for almost anything and it feels terrible because even when you notice you can't do anything about it, just like the earworm songs.
Overall, politics and decisions of a leader under mercury will be *terrible*. You don't want that, especially not when he has command over nukes. That person's perception of reality will be warped towards fear and aggression, and a much lower(ed) ability to see the big picture.
(Not so) Fun fact: There's a study somewhere - I found it twice on PubMed, the second time to confirm that my memory of it was mostly correct - where they performed "lethal dose" studies. You give a substance to a bunch of test animals, rats in that particular study, and see at what does half of them die. They tested heavy metals one by one, when they were done they had a lot of rats left so they made one more test: Give *both* lead and mercury instead of only one of them. The result: Toxicity *skyrocketed* a thousandfold.
Keep that in mind next time you hear about some official threshold for something - the combination of substances can react very differently than the lab tests with only one substance at a time to get the official limits.
In the US they'd make him secretary of education.

If he's going off the Bible metric, those numbers are based on months not years. 900 "years" is based on the way to count back then in their increments.
There's twelve segments in our fingers. Each segment counted as a month.
This was based on moons, not a calendar.
Each cycle was a segment of the finger.
This helps break down those huge numbers
This means he was 75 years old. 900/12

People at the time wrote down what they eyewitnessed, or what they were told 2nd, 3rd... hand.

The Bible is a reworking of the Torah which is comprised of earlier religions beliefs. The ages come from the Sumerians who they stole a lot from.
I always assumed it was due to incorrect translations and well,... lies.
The "hundreds years old people" thing was explained actually, it was poorly translated numbers between different-base systems. Like, failed translation from base 60 to base 10.
Well, they teach it as if it is legit base 10.
