==Biblical view==
The [[Bible]] teaches us that before the [[Flood]], there was a "firmament", or [[vapor canopy]], separating the waters of the [[heaven]]s from the waters of the [[earth]]. Because all that water was pressing down on the Earth's atmosphere, the air pressure in Biblical times would have been several times greater than it is today. Some creation scientists credit the longevity of the [[patriarch]]s to the greatly increased air pressure — much as an [[astronaut]] living in a pressurized [[space station]] ages more slowly than his twin at home.[http://www.sentex.net/~tcc/fcanopy.html]
