People could have lived forever but for the actions of the people in the Garden of Eden. The earthquake and volcano in Eden could not have occurred if advanced weapons of war powerful enough to crack the earth had not been used. There is some written documentation in the Bible and history that nations throughout the ages had advanced weapons. The Bible as Science is a study of many of the disasters throughout the ages that contributed to all the uninhabitable land on Earth.
The actions of the people in Eden not only caused the death of humans but the death of all living things when a volcano eruption emitted interior gases into the atmosphere. With the changes in the atmospheric gases, living things began to die, but because they leave a seed that never dies, the earth has never remained barren for any length of time after periods of extinctions.
The worldwide flood during the time of Noah decreased the lifespan of humans to less than 120 years and decreased the lifespan of the fauna and flora. The flood also caused darkness and seasons when Earth began spinning rapidly from all the water, causing it to move away from the Moon and Sun. The west side of the Earth is now closer to the upper sky where photons of heat and light are created, which means it is dark and cold year round. The east side of the Earth became hotter because it is farther from the lights in the sky.
The same amount of photons are being dispersed from the upper part of the sky on all sides of the earth, but because the west side of Earth is too close to the upper sky, the rays being dispersed are less dense when they enter the atmosphere. It is the same reason that mountains are cooler than valleys. When the rays are dispersed from the upper part of the sky, they are farther apart at first but since they are dispersed in a V-shape, they become overlapped the farther they fall, which explains why deserts are so hot and why it is hotter on the east side of earth.
The Bible says Earth fell from its location in the sixth century BC which is how the autumn months began. It fell to our south which meant the southern part of earth is closer to the upper sky making it cooler in the autumn, and the northern part is farther away making it warmer in spring. Before the flood, it was springlike all year because the Earth was located in the center of its sky.
Earth does not orbit the sun as scientists believe because it would have to move out of its sky which would mean it would become iced over. The gases that make up the sky protect us from the cold in space but they are not attached to Earth and like the clouds do not have reason to move.
The Bible as Science discusses the fauna and flora that emerge seasonally and in swarms as adults, which means they are resurrected and not procreated or evolved. Weather as well as changes in the environmental gases determine the type of specie that will be resurrected from a seed, and there have been a number of major volcanic eruptions that have caused changes in all living things as well as changes in the behavior of the Earth. What occurs in the flora kingdom also occurs in the fauna kingdom.
To believe in creation, observe a swarm of birds, insects, or fish that emerge in the blink of an eye as adults. That apparently was the way it was in the beginning when the earth created fauna and flora over all the earth and not in just one locale as is the case today with swarms.
Every time throughout history that weapons of war were created, it was not long before other nations had them and not long before they were used. With all the broken plates in the earth and numerous volcanoes on every continent and underneath the oceans, it is not hard to believe that Earth could become a supernova again when all the weapons that exist today are used in a war.
