Define old age. It used to be in the realm of 45 years but has
increased over the years.  Gordon

The bible said 70.  The bible was written a long time ago.

the bible is fiction and contradicts itself. it was written when people
didn't understand much about the world so they made up fanciful
stories.

the ages at which people supposedly lived to are ludicrous, some over
900 years.

I liked some of those stories when I was in second grade, before I 
learned that anyone could consider them something other than fiction.

Once I heard that those could be lunar months rather than years. 900 / 
13 = 69.2307692308, still old for the time but more reasonable than 900 
years.
