from writing previously authored by myself here: http://www.creationwiki.org/Human_longevity
Prior to the flood, {{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=5}} records that people lived extraordinarily long lives: routinely over 900 years. [[Methuselah]] is known for living longer than any other human in history, dying at the age of 969.
== Pre-flood longevity ==
This longevity is believed by [[Creationists]] to be so extraordinarily long in part because environmental conditions were optimal before the [[Earth]] was destroyed during the [[global flood]], per [[Canopy theory]].
