The Bible pust the maximum lifespan for man at 120 years (Genesis 6:3), the typical lifespan at 70 years, and the typical for a good-living person at 80 years (Psalm 90:10). Thousands of years after that was written, despite immense advances in medicine and technology, these figures remain remarkably accurate. The oldest person in the world was [[Jeanne Calment]], who lived to age 122, only two years past 120. The worldwide average lifespan is approximately 70 years old, and healthy persons can expect to live to about 80.{{fact}}
