Prior to the flood, Genesis 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.
